Sounds good! As soon as I have the car firmly back in my hands (just went to the body shop), I'll start making plans for the season. I'm looking forward to this. Thanks!

The STI drivetrain would be a better choice, the R180 rear diff has a better LSD and the diff housing is slightly larger. ...

Looking good Alex!
Hope to see you at the shop pretty soon.
