I have patiently tweaked this car for almost 6 years now and it is now full stage 3. What next?

Motorsports, Alcons, LSD, 4:1 CD, seats, weight reduction, built engine, GT's. Shall I continue? ;-)

Default I have enjoyed this car ever since I have owned it. Now even more. I go to the store for...

"marginal reasons" which means to just go out just for a drive. But since I have to warm up the turbos, could be awhile.

Default Motorsports and LSD are worthy certainly. Should have got Motorsports to start with.

No desire for GT's. This thing is reasonably quick. I like running full weight (with spare). I am trying to be less porky so maybe I can drop some lbs that way?

Default Stage 3 will feel slow after a while. You'll want more eventually ;-)

Plus with the Msports, LSD and 4:1, you can then have the fenders pulled some more and slap some wider rubber on there. Some choice weight reduction in certain places to reduce some of the weight over the front wheels. Balance out the car a little more. With a better handling (and stopping with some 14.5" Alcons) you're almost asking for more power :-p

Then why even drive a car with a soul? Take the bus.

Default If you recall,I have had K04's for 17 months now. You are right, doesn't seem very fast, but still

scares the crap out my friends. LOL!

I suppose then we could add widebody as 255s which I have been running for some time are about the limit for stock fenders. Could possibly run 265s. But serious rubber (275 and up) will need widebody.
