Definitely don't feel stupid - you were pumped up, admittedly young and now your here being all humble about it. Takes some ***** - the interwebz aren't always kind. At least your not the type that would sit there and defend your prior comments, there's only one way to learn and its asking lots and lots of questions (why CSS.net exists).

But in all seriousness it is badass that you finally got the car - I was right there with you when I was around your age and even older than you are now. I was infatuated with 700+ whp KenneBell Cobras, GT35r STi's and the like. I just sort of assumed that anything with less than 500 hp wasn't fast. Once you finally figure out what it is like to ride in/drive a car that has 300+whp and weighs <3000lbs you start to realize why crazy power numbers are somewhat over-rated, especially when you consider wear-and-tear on a vehicle you are paying for.

As Matt Farrah puts it ~ "its all about balance" ~ I think it's pretty true especially with a car that held a nurburgring lap time record for FWD cars for quite some time. Now you just gotta make the car well rounded to where it can put that power down coming out of a corner and compliment the straight line ability with momentum.

If you want to go around corners:

Powell YYZ v.2 springs (better than MOST coilover options currently avail. unless you just want MOAR LOW)
Powell HC rear sway bar (or XXX bar, but I hear to start with the HC)
(front sway bar not really needed from what I understand)
Powell CAB's
rotated transmission mounts
Koni Yellow's
Some 18x8 wheels and sticky 245's

This is my short list for mods, but if your not into the twisties you can just ignore it

Also - is your car a G85 option car? (Limited Slip Differential)

++ PICSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

 

When I get home ill post a couple. And yes I got lucky and got g85 :P already decided on ssc lowering springs koni yellows and a rear sway bar from zzp thanks man!

 

you will definitely want transmission mounts with SSC springs as they are low enough to give you axel bind issues

Here ya go!

 

Pretty nice looking. You paint the wheels? or did the previous owner do that?

 

Painted the rims and calipers myself

 

I was never a big fan of the nightshade taillight stuff but it looks great on your car and really sets off the wheels. I've got sedan envy now too Haha. Keep it up!:

 

Thanks man it's actually tint film so it's easily removable! A local tinter tinted the windows and taillights. Had to get the front windows scrapped from constantly getting pulled over because its a safety hazard. I hate nj.

 

wow thats window tint on the tails!? That looks good!

 

It's a special film they use for taillights
