        Agreed, ruins the whole luxury sports car feel, but the power more than makes up for it, 7k comes way too quick. The yellow paint isnt supposed to be shiny, its powder yellow. Its slightly rough but for 17 years old its good solid fun.

            How did.you do the.factory stickers? You tape.them off? or.heat.them up , remove.them and re stick ? They almost look like New.stickers.

            I ask because I was wondering what I would do with the stickers in the engine bay of the rabbit if I painted it.

                you can polish the yellow up if you wanted. it's single-stage, so you can hand compound it, and wax it, and it'll shine really well. I always just preferred to keep it as-is.

                I'm really glad you are enjoying this car. I'm excited to see how it runs when you get the baro sensor wired in. I'm sure you'll end up with a bigger turbo, too. it needs a little-bigger turbo on it, I think.
