I/H/E, AFX pully, wings west body kit, lowered, sways, full energy bushings, superchip, and 17" konig tuners. All that work for a 15.00@91mph I then graduated to a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Another nowhere car lol. I/E and suspension was the limit. 14.6@95mph was the limit. I then had a 2004 Ford Focus SVT. This car was a handler, not so fast in a straight line but the handling and braking were superb. Dragged it once 15.4@89 mph, and took it to summit for a Friday track day. I never tried to enhance it's performance, I was afraid of the disappointment the car was truly a straight line dog so I sold it. I had been toying around with the idea of getting a 2011 mustang gt when my wife got into a wreck and killed our 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor. So instead I went with the best of both worlds (practical vs sporty) and got the WRX.
I had a ZX2 also! I ended up putting on all the parts from the SR before you could even buy that model. The best thing was I had a switch to turn off the speed gov. Bad thing was the car would sometimes shut off after driving past the gov speed.

I had the bushings in the box ready to put on but then someone hit me headon and destroyed the car. Had it all setup to run autox and then BAM, totaled I did end up getting a great settlement allowing me to get my Type R (instant autox car) tho.
