          When the budget gets higher, I will be getting some coil overs. However, next order of business is a 2.5 swap, address some sloppy brakes, and possibly a steering wheel with an m3 rack... Not sure.

          It hangs with s2k's that is all I care about, pretty decent balls for an Eta. Like I said earlier, it is pretty much an inside joke revolving around the Panda from Forza 2. It isnt meant to be for everyone. It is sort of fun to hate.

          Stretched tires, and slammed is not my route. This thing is pretty functional for Auto-x only. I want to avoid Fuh Raze.

            Tire stretch and rectum stretch go hand in hand. It's cool like Daytons on low riders. To some it looks great but it's also a great way to make your car into an underperforming show piece. You ever do that and I'll cut you.

                It can actually keep up with a 2002 Honda S2000 from a 15mph roll to about 75mph.

                Havent tried anything from a dig yet though.

                  so it is at least a low 15 high 14 second car...?

                    Quit talking, the larger the diameter the higher the speed will be, since the car will cover more distance at the same revolutions of the drivetrain. The only difference can be the weight of the wheels and tires. Which wouldn't be the case on his car.

                    And stock OD is 23.9.

                    Nice car, I really like it.

                        Best guess would be mid to high 15's.

                          i'm hardly a fan of s2k's but they are still capable of faster than mid to high 15's.....

                            15mph to 75mph from a roll.

                            As I said, from a dig I would get smashed. But for an Eta I am pretty happy all I was seeing was his taillights, and not other traffic passing me as well.
