    Just 30mm lower springs, not too stiff.
    Better offset wheels (+13 vs +45 stock) with semi-slicks
    Flares are for a KE25 modded to fit
    Custom canards and carbon diffuser that works (confirmed on the track)

    Other than that it's a stock 1.5L auto...

    lol auto 2s are so incredibly slow for a modern car. if you can cain the hills in that you must be like a hill climbing jesus.

    interesting advice in this thread. what ill contribute is that on the street NEVER drive more than 8-10s, dont push that little bit harder, if your at your/your tyres limit back off.. ive learnt this first hand in the form of a gravly apex and a rock wall.

    Yes; yes they are...

    BUT they are fast compared to a Prius; which was what I learnt in. Once the battery is drained, it's 50kw driving a 1400kg car. You learn a lot about keeping momentum through turns...

    +1 about honing your skills in a slow car. I used to drive an FSM Niki to work every day (through the hills.) That was also a real momentum car. Once I got back behind the wheel of a 'proper' car, I found myself much more confident.
