I figure with as many of these as we have on here now we should probably have a dedicated thread.

I got mine out last night for the first time in a week and had a really good time. These things are fun. I'm going to test fit a couple booster seats so I can decide on one for my little dude. Being able to haul him around without swapping car seats would give me more opportunities to drive the thing.

Also, still needs an exhaust. Sooooo quiet.

I haven't really found I'm wanting for much mod-wise so far. A brake upgrade would be nice and some shocks but :aintcare: past that.

Oh, maybe some better audio.

And I do have the clutch spring on the way.

Some more apex wheels so when you hit another pothole you get that 50% off replacement

Isn't that 50% off only good for 2 years :doe: ?

If we're talking what I'm actually going to do, the list is pretty short. So far all I've done is:
  • hack out the charcoal filter (+10hp)
  • Grimmspeed post MAF hose
  • Grimmspeed reusable air filter
Plans:
  • MAPerformance exhaust
  • :tints:
  • clutch spring
  • plug for the last resonator on the airbox
I think that's it. Maybe the OEM Audio + setup?

In an ideal world I'd also do some :ramz: and coilovers, but that'll probably never happen.

Good thread. Damn I wanted one of these bad. Settled on the STI because I couldn’t figure out a decent way to haul bikes in one.

Maybe when I need a train station car I’ll look into them again. Kid would love it.

It's funny, I've never seen another 10AE anywhere. I did call about every :dillerman: that had one coming before getting mine, IIRC Chantilly Toyota wanted a nice markup and I :nope: out.

A lot of the VA :dillerman: outside of Metro DC were actually pretty cool and didn't do markups, but they always gave locals first right of refusal so I was never able to get my hands on one.

Here's mine. It's a good looking car. WRB is the best color.
