with intake, header, exhaust, i made 106whp and 111lb/ft torque.

for suspension, i have tokico illuminas and eibach pro-kit.

tires are yokohama avs-es100. in the pics, the tires are goodyear eagle f1's. they are basically the same tread pattern, and both have been known to do well at the track.

i have the same suspension setup minus the rear sway bar as dave's car (the car i used to play at the track in those pics). i'll be getting the rear sway in about a month. beyond that, we're going to be tweaking the suspension for even more control. at a track like mid-ohio, a powerful engine doesn't do much for you. it's all in how much speed you can carry through the turns. we'll see how our cars do next summer.

if you're behind a firewall, it might not let you link to the images as they are on msprotege.com

What this car does in cornering makes up for it's lack in the straights.

As for the pics....yeah...I figured that...did you check you pm?

I love the Pro's light weight. My wife's Mazda3 is great, but 400 lbs. heavier and you can really feel the difference. That, plus the Pro sedan has a great butt!
