If it doesn't work out it doesn't work out. Oh fucking well. But, for the time being I'm going to enjoy it even if it is going to have more issues. I appreciate the concern. I understand it. You all don't want me to "waste" my time but I don't see it that way. Thank you for the input though.

Do whatever you want, i'm not hating on the 3, the whole point of DE is to run whatever you drive to work on Monday.
Regarding going FI:
But before you do, take a look around the paddock. The guys who are running the entire weekend in TT or Racegroups have "slow" cars or displacement.
In my time at the track, the FI cars either don't make it through a weekend, or have so much money thrown into them it isn't worth it. A very fast, well respected, shop owned FI car (Element Tuning) barely makes it through a weekend.
My 2 cents, leave the car as it is right now and drive the fucking piss out of it, or pick out a different platform if you want to go "Fast".
Element Tuning has a ridiculously built car with waaayyyy more power. You all realize this is 200whp lol. It's nothing. It's not a 500whp screaming FWD monster or RWD in Element's case.
I just don't want to sit in TTE alone racing for time on myself lol. Yeah it would be easiest, low maintenance, etc... but running TTC with a bit more power and a little more maintenance along with knowing I built my car the way I like it I think will be more fun. If have a headache with it then okay you all are right like I mentioned. I'll also be planning working so I won't be losing too much money if the car blows into a million pieces. $50 for TT with working. I don't care if the car blows up. If I really have that many issues I just get a regular 2.0 N/A again or maybe just swap in the 2.5 :dunno:
Edit: I know shit is going to break. I will probably get pissed and say fuck this car several times, complain, etc... I literally see what you are all saying but I want to see what I can do with this slow car. It may be a waste of time and a money pit but the day I stop having fun and enjoying the 3 is the day I get rid of it. I won't know that unless I do something out of the box and give something a try. It's probably going to be a big flop but at least at first I can hope I'll have fun with it
