    Switch to a RWD based AWD system. instead of the FWD based system. Meaning the NA would be RWD, and they should have a turbo RWD as well as a turbo AWD.

    I'd have been a lot happier if they had at LEAST put the 450cc injectors from the Eclipse in our cars to start with. The ECU would then be able to be modded to a much higher degree on basically piggy backs. That would have made a BPU car a lot more formidable.

    The "crooked" column is on every 3s and by design. It was the exact same way in my DSM's. If I remember right, the column is actually straight, its the dash that is tilted.

    Amd my thing, STRONGER transmissions, ie not glass.

    AWD trans is pretty f'ing strong. Just because the FWD trans sucks balls... and you break them like they're going out of fashion, lol.

    Well I can say my first trans was strong as fuck. It took a shitton of abuse and finally popped after way too much wheelhop. The succeeding 3 transmissions..... not so strong.

    Our BIG ASS wheel wells. Lowering our cars only gets closes the vertical gap, but our gaps to the sides laterally are insane. Thats why our car's don't look like the Supra's when lowered, because we have wayyyy too big of wheel wells.

    i would have had ralliart put one in the 10's back in 1991. that would have done more than anything else to advance this platform.

    and i disagree about the rwd > fwd argument. every competing car had rwd entry-level models. the 3/s had something unique to offer in that realm, and i would like to think that had more than a little something to do with the sales successes (at least early on). a turbo rwd 3/s would have made the car a wannabee compared to the 300z, the supra, and the rx7.
