So I've been driving it reliably for about a week and a half now. No hiccups, nothing. Runs like a top, pulls like a Miata, but like... a really nice Miata, you know?
The tires I have suck ass, which is awesome. I suck less at driving stick now and everyone with convertibles waves at me. Running the A/C sucks as it literally kills the engine. Rev matching is a pain, hill starts are a pain, doing anything is a pain with the A/C on. Good thing the roof goes away
I love every second of of driving this thing, and I absolutely LOVE getting almost 30 MPG ( a far cry from the 14 I get in Harrisonburg in my truck.)
I bled the brakes all around and adjusted them and the rears are warped but they lock up the tires fine, so I'm not too worried about them.
I did some body work for my buddy on his WRX of questionable condition he just bought, so he sold me some speakers for $10 and I put them in. I also made some super $wag rain guards for them. Also pulled the carpet from the trunk (smelled like gear oil), sealed up my tail lights with silicone and "fixed" my glove box.
