Stop spending all your time working on your car and buy a Speed 3. Fast from the factory, still in the family and with a few hundred buck in mods, high 13's are possible. Clutch is on/off type so bumper to bumper commutting in a big city could be a PITA.

LOL, worst suggestion ev4r!

I tried financing a speed two weeks ago...Fell in love on the test drive

But they wanted 6k down a 600 am month...+ my trade in

I left..and laughed. Stuck with the wagon

Good decision. For the current prices dealerships want for MS3s you can easily make your P5 just as quick and still end up paying less overall. What's MSRP for the MS3s? I bought my P5 for $12k and I should be just about as quick as a stock MS3 right now but I know I haven't put more than $8k into my car. Not to mention I still get better gas mileage. If you want something that's just a bit more powerful and loads more fun just follow Liquid Ag's advice above.

but check your camber bolts

I lowered my P5 with Eibachs in 2003 and never got a camber kit. My car has been just fine.

Holy crap...what type of setup are you running. It's gotta be all off for the tire to do that.

In regards to this thread though from my experience after building and all I wish I left it at low PSI and just enjoyed it. When it comes to making it fast, the potential is there but it's a lot of headaches even for the mechanically inclined.

I say get something you wont care about breaking and dont need to rely on. If you can't be a few days without a car then dont go go all out on the Pro. Like Ken said:

if you are looking for major power, expect to spend major money. if you are looking to make a tight cornering car that puts smiles on your face and maybe get a bit more power out of it, that can be done. it all comes down to your ultimate wants, needs and goals.
