    Yea, they do some awesome stuff. I want to keep this car nothing but efficiency mods to it. Maybe lightweight high compression internals one day.

    Added Accidents:

    1) Mid Nov. 2012
    A college kid parallel parked in front of my car, backs into it as he tries to exit. 3M Protection film takes impact. Not even a scratch.

    2) Early Dec. 2012
    Lady drives head on into my parked car in a parking lot. Slammed on her brakes to stop and still collides. 3M Protection film takes impact. Not even a scratch. Seriously that stuff is worth its weight in gold.

    3) Jan. 28, 2013
    18 year old girl pulls out of a parking lot in a '04 Nissan Sentra straight onto main drag in front of the girlfriend. She slams on brakes, still T-bones Sentra. Young girl at fault.

    Hmmm..... I need to order a performance S-pipe to complete the full exhaust set up...

    Best suggestion I can make is to go sit in one. Personally? Easy as pie, the seats have a latch behind the seatbelt side shoulder that allows easy moving forward, no having to bend down to grab a latch at the bottom of the back of the seats to do it.

    haha nope, at 6' 6" I actually fit in the back quite comfortably. Since it's all FWD, no need for a drivetrain to take up floor space. It's all cabin room.

    I'm lovin it man, fold the seats down, through my snowboarding gear back there. Tons of room. Lightweight and peppy too. It's got some power stock, I just want to do a crazy lightweight/efficiency centered build. Mine will handle a lot differently then stock due to the TRD suspension.

    Take one for a test drive, I'm sure you wont be dissapointed.

    Sorry to post BS in your build thread... :eek:

    Dang, I was looking at the v6's. But if your saying the 4 cyl is peppy I might just look into that instead.
