yea I always said in gran turismo and in real lif maitas are the best to start learnin to race with..gentle quick and well balanced. also is it as much a pain in the to do a clutch change on the s4 as most awd cars?

yeah the clutch job in the S4 ( id wouldnt do it) is a pain
really heavy transfer case, and all the other work i done on the car was difficult cause the torque specs on the bolts and hardware is unreal....

where as the miata, the whole tranny wieghs 70 lbs.....

Sweet ... rides. I met you at Aldi's one night when i was out there with thompson. I had the beat up 91 prelude and i talked to you about a vtec head swap. It's been a long time, you probably don't remember me. I rock a corrado G60 now and if there are any secrets you know, enlighten me.

the motor is capable of 30psi
we are running 15

the current turbo the GT28
is only capable of 15psi, it will go to 18 but its no help cause the effeceincy drops off
with a bigger turbo the car can make aloooot more power
