I can't go Konis because of the AWD, well I could but only in the rear not in the front. Stuck with the KYBs but the Koni yellows would be an upgrade on the S also. Perhaps minor but with the springs should make a difference. Especially on the NJ and NYC roads in the long run.

If I had a RWD I'm pretty sure I'd be saving for KW V3s. With the AWD I'm thinking it will be the Fortune coilovers.
I like the drop on Swifts but I'm scraping and I'm not that low. (Damn marks on my x pipe already) So.... I can't go places I used to and am s l o w l y going over speed bumps here in the apartment complex. Good to know for when I move anyway

But to your question, the logistics just don't work for me to personally have two cars... unless we move to another house, which I really don't want to do.

A 1/4 mile @ a time

My hope is that the house in Pittsburgh will sell this year so I can move forward. I'm still thinking I would like to pick up an RX-7 although Kirk has me thinking about another 240. At the same time, I'm also starting to think I would enjoy traveling more so we'll see what happens.

What I've done for my exhaust videos is clip on a microphone to my exhaust tip and record as I drive.
I actually recorded my exhaust on my G by placing my iPhone underneath the tip and performing a few revs. Then I merged the clips. That way you're not getting a bunch of middle noise.

Redline MT-85 was swapped into my manual transmission this morning. The OEM gear oil was perfectly clean, which I'm actually very pleased with. I would have been concerned if it were blackened after only 19K miles and 3 years.
Also had my front sway-bar bushings removed and re-greased. That awful groaning noise, heard over small bumps while crawling through parking lots, is gone. Yay!
Discovered a huge chunk ripped out of my lower engine bay cover. This probably happened when the car was pulled up the flatbed last month. (sigh) I'm not actually interested in getting an aluminum aftermarket replacement, and will probably just buy it OEM. Don't know how much these things are.

Does anyone have any idea what are IPL wheels offsets front/rear? I'm just curious because I noticed IPL offsets are definitely a little more aggressive than sedan sport wheels hence the flush look on my sedan and probably no need for any spacers, or 3mm/5mm at last.

That said, you might be wanting spacers if you drop the car.

Mike, those IPL whees look awesome on your car! Props for doing something a little different.
Kirk, I can't wait to see pics of and hear your new Meisterschaft exhaust. How soon will you be getting it?
In other news, my 2.5" RHFC's and CBE (non-resonated) should be here Wednesday or Thursday!!! Seriously. Can't wait!!!
^^
My couch has taken a beating from all of the "Can't wait fits" I've had over the last 3 months...LOL!
