Well as usual I have an opinion about this lol.

1. I totally disagree with disabling the stability and traction controls to go faster. I have proven many times on the track that I can be just as fast or faster with the controls on. The only time the controls activate..................is when you have lost grip. If we are talking about throwing the car around and playing that is a different story, but for fast lap times it doesnt matter if its on or off, if your into the controls or would be into them, you are going slower.

2. I have a very different attitude towards street cars. I believe a street car should be fast smooth and easy to drive, a track car will be noisy rough and brutally fast, and not too nice to drive. Everytime you stiffen a street car you get one step closer to the track car. I have a 1987 Mustang at home, its caged, framed, sprung, bushings etc. I have put 300km on it over the last 3 years........why.......cause it aint no fun to drive on the street in traffic anymore.

your first reply was completely uncalled for... added zero value and probably the douche-iest reply i've seen here yet

this place would suck hard if every reply here was similar

your excuse of saying that you're just blunt doesn't work either -- try again.
yeah.. my sarcasm meter has been off... I've been meaning to get that tweaked for awhile... it's just not quite tuned in to text written on the internet.

As for having zero value... I still stand by that remark. If you're interested in modding the car for positive performance, you need to learn the limits of the car or it's all completely pointless.

Suck it up princess.

I've already arranged a real life fight to the death of Rev vs Foot, with 01racing and I as eye witness.

Everyone got pwned, oops I mean happy at the end and we sold a car (hint, a car with higher torque than rx8 lol) to Chris's friend as well lol.

Anyways, Footman cars look mint with the eibach...and he is enjoying it, which is great news!

Also, MAD POPS FOR FOOTMAN helping me to do the foglight rewire...I can finally show the pedo-yellow-fog all the time without DRL/lowbeams now!

YAY!

Seriously. Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning? I ran into Footman today at Scarb Mazda and we're cool. Wtf is your problem? I don't recall insulting or even talking to you in any way that could result in said biotchyness.

I declare the following rules for said fight to the death:

1) Must be in Jell-O
2) Only the following weapons are allowed:
- sway bars of head-bashingness
- super stabbity stabbing spark plugs of stabness
- pedobear fogs (JDM only)
3) Absolutely NO sword-fights
4) Kancho-ing your opponent is highly encouraged
5) Loser has to tuck their pen0rs between their taint for a week, wear a girly wig and stand at Hooker Harvey's

If these rules are not acceptable to you guys, I suggest you kiss and make up (preferably while I'm not around).

I'm good with that, provided you make sure your hairy *** remains unwaxed.

Footman - obviously it is going to feel different than before and will take some getting use to. If you feel you want to upgrade your shocks go for it.
But I have to agree with Rev and as many others say the best Mod is getting to the track and learn how to drive the car...mod yourself as our cars are great stock. It's not the best way to analyze the new setup you have by driving around our roads.

Thief what can I say...LMFAO!! KANCHO!!
