Comments :

   This car w/ driver is able to pass both versions of M3's, some Porsches.
Stay on pace w/ other SW20's w/ competition tires. This car hauls seriously!
It's in dire need of swaybars, better tires, and a LSD. It needs
traction to keep more power down on road course during turn exits.
Better brakes couldn't hurt either.

   I perform all service work on this car except the alignments. Recently
performed timing belt and water pump maintenance. Email if you have questions
regarding upgrades or maintenance. I am a SW20 enthusiast!

   How many mods do I need to do before I get the cool shades icon? :)
