After owning a succesion of cars, and continually altering them in a quest for speed, I finally bought a car with some power out of the box. Currently runninig about 275HP w/ the help of HKS FCD, Superchip Graphic Boost controller (strongly recommend this part, very cost effective), modified intake, 3" Ultra flow exhaust. Regularly run 18lbs boost, seen 22lbs, doesn't like it.

Tokicos Illuminas, Eibach springs and larger anti-roll bars help keep car planted. Running 17x7.7 TSW's front w/225/40 AVD intermediates, and

17x8.5 TSW's w/255/40's rear.

I've seen 152 MPH (figured by gear ratios and overall tire diameter as speedo lies), turns high 13's at @104. Not bad for a daily driver w/stock turbo. Car is extremely grippy through high speed canyons (loves Angeles Crest Highway), not much fun above 125, gets darty.
