I was going to sell mine, but now after sorting out all the quirks, getting the shifting slop out, and doing the throttle body and stealth airbox upgrades, I am finally loving how this car drives! It is one of the quickest (not fastest) and most nimble little cars I have ever owned. I learned again an old lesson that I had forgotten in all the details - Sooner or later (better sooner) you just have to chill-out on making the car perfect, and just basically drive the heck out of it. I avoid first gear whenever possible too. Second gear has plenty of pull for most starts.
