    Adam -- Plans changes daily...! LOL But as of right now I plan to keep it around to beat on at the track and on the street occasionally. The current setup is pretty lazy on re-spool, so it's honestly not that fun on the street unless you're banging gears like you mean it. E85 should help tremendously, though. I'm sure it's sub-3000lbs and it has KYB/Groundcontrols, F/R strut bars, 245/45/17 TA KDW's all the way around, 2g brakes, etc... But honestly it still handles like shit, IMO. It just feels weird when being pushed into the turns, so as it sits it's only fun in a straight line. It may need an alignment and some suspension tweaking, but I certainly wouldn't call it a good AutoX or course platform, even if it had a much smaller turbo. It needs a clutch before it can be raced again and I'm really itching to do E85 - just need to get injectors and then re-tune it. The DSMLink is great - if something was like that off the shelf for the 3/s I'd probably buy another one someday...! As it sits, I wouldn't turn down $5000 if someone was ready to do the deal. I'll eventually turn it over, but for now it's still pretty damn entertaining.
