Actually I wish that I were to
have this car. My car is in fact a variation of this car. If you remove
the fender flares and the quattro all-wheel-drive, not to mention the turbo,
you would have my car.Actually I wish that I were to

Oh well I could always dream of owning this car. Alas I have no money.
Well, I have made few changes to the Coupé as of right now. The only change from stock that I have on the car is the fact that I put Yokohama AVS Intermediate tires on it (195/60VR14).
During Christmas break I am planning to install rear shock absorbers on the car myself and have a professional install the front ones. I am planning to put Boge Turbo Gas Pro shocks on it as i have heard great reviews about these. The will reportedly flatten the car's stance in corners and nearly eliminate nose dive when braking.
I will keep you informed as to the status of the new shocks and so forth. Here are the stats on my car as of right now (all statistics are copied from Car and Driver magazine):
