sorry but for me an ES just wouldn't be the same. plus a lot of stuff wouldn't transfer to it, specifically the FMIC, my springs, and I'd have to get a new rear subframe for the racing beat sway bar + clunk fix brackets I think. muffler wouldn't transfer, wagonator.com stickers wouldn't ethically transfer, HIDs.. though the headlights could just be transferred.. if would just be a big mess that I would only go through for a spicy MSP.
don't tempt me with that avant.. not that I have the money (I don't finance cars --not that I even could now because I won't have a job for like another year) but mmm *dreams of S4 avant*
on a semi-related but off-topic sidenote, I was at the mazda dealer yesterday with my roommate who was there looking at the MX-5 PRHT grand touring and it's a Porsche/Audi/Mazda shared showroom.. and right there is the new Audi 5.. but wait, not the A5 the S5 *drooooooool*
I'm off to go visit my car, I'll take lots of pics of course
--they may be the last so I'll try to make it look pretty
edit: argggggggh my ezpass is in my protege arggggghhh I hate stopping and dealing with tolls and such. I think it's a 5 dollar toll each way to visit my car

I thought downdrafts had some problems on the RX motors under hard cornering. Since he autocrosses the car now, I'm assuming he'll continue to, so that may not be a great idea.
THOUGH 400 HP would sure be nice! lol

I'm trying to convince a lady to sell me a set of these:
_angle_zoom.jpg)
They're Flik FTDs in Matte Titanium. 16x7, +43. 16lbs ea. Should be able to fit a nice 215/45 under there. I may need to roll the fenders in the rear, but I need to do that now, so...what the F ever lol. I envision a meaty RS2 Z212. Mmmmmmmmmm, hot sex 
I've always been a fan of the small wheel, meaty tire look, so if it works out, it should be fun.
She's trying to sell them as a package deal on a local forum w/ a few sets of race tires. They were on her C-Stock autocross MX5 and they've currently got a set of R's mounted. She hasn't had many bites, so she says she'll let me know soon if they haven't sold in the 'package deal' when she'll sell em to me separate.
$200. Word.
