    Sounds good! Sooooo..... How much longer are you keeping her? What are the new numbers? How is mpg affected?

    This car with your modifications is one of the most interesting to read about. I wonder if there are any plans (or even options in the market) for upgrading the clutch

    I imagine it's way more fun than before, but with around 170 lb./ft. at the wheels and sticky, 245-section tires, I don't think you're going to be down to the cords anytime soon.

    Sounds like the makings of an FR-S Supra.

    FR-Supra?

    What this has me wondering is if there's a car that will give equivalent driving pleasure and performance for the same amount of $ that has been spent on modifying the FR-S ... 135i? Used S2k? Used PCS?

    Mike, there's a rule from Inside Line that carries over here - if you do a GMR run, let me know and I'll be there. I literally live at the base of the road.

    cant wait to hear more about how the supercharger improves the feel of the car. For me its one of the best cars I've ever driven save for the torque dip right in the beautiful tach's sweetspot at 4grand.

    I've said it before - if there is a GMR run, let me know. I literally live at the base of the road.
