Finally Traded 2.4 - 2.0
I bit the bullet a bit early but I think it was worth it. I traded up my black 2.4 5spd for an Orange 2.0 w/g85. All I can say is huge difference. I honestly didn't think there would be huge, but it was. I just regret I didn't do this the first time around.
The car all around pulls a lot better than the 2.4
The 5th on this thing pulls more than 4th did on my old
Steering seems to be tighter but suspension seems better around corners, could be my imagination
That is pretty much all I can say for now until I really get into it
Here are some night pics, I will get better shots tomorrow during Day:

Looking good man, I love the orange. Just sick! You made a good choice!
