I believe in suspension work over motor work. I love hitting turns hard and blasting thru them. I bought my car lowered, with upgraded suspension. I have since put better parts in as I have snapped a few control arm links. Actually my youngest daughter snapped them.

I have also done a few motor upgrades that allows me to spool faster and hold boost longer. And a few other things. Drive it like you stole it, use do not abuse and no garage queens. please.

Good luck and enjoy.

Suspension work intimidates me. Prefer engine maintenance. While I do prefer to keep everything stock I can assure you it will be no garage queen. I decided I will never buy another car that makes me feel guilty adding miles. Defeats the purpose, right?

Looking good.

Window sticker? Have you confirmed X-50 by other means?

you can also feel under the rear panel openings to the i/c's. if they are *rough* to the touch. you have the x50/k24 cheese grater intercoolers.

Nice. Other than few baubles noted on the forums with these cars, the engine is rock solid. Enjoy!
