I'd have to say that is a damn nice car. It's fast in all gears. That turbo really kicks in low and pulls hard all the way. Handles extremely well. If i had the money i would definately consider it.

Man I want to drive one. But the dealers here won't let people unless you're serious about it.

I haven't seen them with the regular taillights. But If I got one I would just order and set of regular lights from the rally lancer and put them on and then sell the the Altezza's to some ricer

From what I've been reading, stock config has full 19psi at as low as 3500 but boost drops as RPM rises... Weird...

haha 19psi stock?
sr20det is only 7psi. I can only imagine what it would be like if it boosted 19 stock:3gears:

yeah first thing i would do is put the evo7 tails, badging, and front bumper if possible on it. then it would look nice

Havent touch Mitsu for a while, i prevously own a E4 and E5, the engine is VERY aggressive. You have to pratice to get use to it in order to controll it well. It just make you nervous in fast speed. you think the engine is on its rev limit? NOO, she still can go higher then you can imagine.
