Main goals are to address known issues these cars have, the over engine pipe was one of those. Other goals would be to improve handling, reliability, and of course increase POWA!

Sadly it's a auto, my daily commute has lots city traffic, stop lights, etc. A manual wouldn't been nice, but then again they didn't make as many of these in manual anyway
I think the oil capacity is 5.2 liters? I can't remember right off.
Funny, I didn't think this car would get this kind of positive reaction here!
So, as I've mentioned, one of the things that sets this car apart is the electromagnetic suspension. Well. . . it is known to be a bit finicky, actually more of a bitch. Since I bought the car this system hasn't worked, it's throwing a code for the passenger front shock, and after replacing the shock the system still gives the same code. Not cool. I assumed the 4C Module was going bad so I pulled it to check it out before shelling out $500+ for a new one, or chancing a used one and getting stuck with it.
I went through the circuit board with a firm bristle wire brush (made for cleaning electronics) and some contact cleaner spray. Even after 4-5 cleanings there is still minimal surface corrosion.
What do ya know. . . no more "Chassis Setting Service Required" message. . .
YAS, YAS, YAS! My God this car is so much more fun in turns now with working 4C!
No messages or lights!
I've been working with a good friend who is a welder/ fabricator to make a much needed, affordable, 3" stainless downpipe. It's sad that people are paying $600-$1,200 for a downpipe! So my friend Josh made a jig based on a stock downpipe and is making this now.
I like it when a plan comes together!
We test fit on a friends S60R (sedan version of my car)
You'll notice everything is just tacked together here, just to check fitment before final welding it up.
LIKE A GLOVE!
We took it back off the car to final weld since everything fits, it's sad. . . I can't wait to throw this thing back on the car and blast around
