                How many miles do you have on the tires and how have they been treating you? Any likes/dislikes about them?

                  I have 1500 miles on them and they are just as I suspected. I had 205/55/15 kdws on my euroweaves that I bought new and wore them out due to e30 camber I knew what I was getting into and no difference in performance.

                  They don't like the cold as they have flat spots and a bit hard but after a bit of driving, smiles are to had! Plenty of stick but my suspension does help. I have not noticed any wear but I don't run them that hard...but when I do, I know I got the right tire. I have not had a problem in the rain but then again, I respect the wet surface.

                        Does it sound good with the M20? How loud is it from inside and outside the car?

                          I dont think its loud but its def noticable inside and out. I can be a bit droning and it does bother me sometime...but when im going thru the gears, under a long bridge, or a quick rev, it sounds great! It has no sense of a "fart-can" sound. Just sporty.

                          I had a hole in the original muffer and I was already eyeing the magnaflow especially when I found it for $119 new to my door. Im not sure I would buy it again but it was at a killer price. I wouldnt put it on my cabrio as it has a different purpose.

                            Wow the progress on the paint is amazing and inspiring! I really like the wheels on there and your car really reminds me of mine haha.

                            but you're swapping out the m20 now? seems like a lot of work

                            No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                              Yeah, its gonna be a bit of work but im gonna have everything ready before im dropping it in. My M20 runs great but I think I got a good deal on the engine so im going for it.
