RSB and short shift are 2 of my favourite mods(.... And the garrett:driver:) the rear sway really gives you a lot more confidence turning into corners

All the little things make a big difference. My next project is getting the timing belt changed. Looking at a kit from ECS tuning worth about $409 that has everything including a metal bladed water pump and a gates kevlar racing timing belt. Also has lightweight underdrive pulleys for everything else!
