    Ooh, man. I hate to tell you but that is the one car that is recommended NOT to modify. If you look, all the tuner sites skip that model. The air-cooled wankel engine has problems with the rear supercharger, and the rear seat belts don't always work. Add to that the issues with the vent windows sticking and the potential for the CVT to get stuck in second gear, you may have a huge mess on your hands.

    Can you get your old car back?

    :)

    Well to Jim's post, it is partially true in that the 02 manual transmission is pretty glass-like. Not saying yours will below, but just beware ;) More power will only accelerate the wear.

    Otherwise, welcome to the forum! There is lots of great information here and many helpful members. Be sure to check out the Events section and come out to some events!
