Paint it white with black trim, get some Wattanabe's and an HKS sports exhaust. When you blow the 16V, swap in a Group A motor.

I've driven RWD cars in the winter before never thought it was that big of a problem. Remember I live in Windsor we don't get that much snow here

As for insurance to insure this car is only gonna cost me $30 more a month so i really don't see it as that big a problem.

All bs aside, the car is pretty fun in stock form. If you wanted, maybe start with suspension and an intake using an afm adapter and cone filter. It'll make it happier around turns and a little easier to rev, plus a nice intake growl when you get on it. If the head has been worked, you might as well throw that on for the cost of gaskets.

Whoever posted that was just joking. He was referring to Initial D about the black/white paint and watanbes. Hahaha! Oh yeah, speaking of which, I think Kas is selling a set.

swap those LED thingys sticking out from your Celi and install them on the AE. It'll look like crazy as your car looses control in the winter.

I'm buggin :p
