Here's my build/journal thread per request of a few people. My emphasis is performance with the occasional functional cosmetics. I daily drive the car except for when I'm "doing projects on it". Projects are for my auto-x and big track adventures! Hope this inspires you to buy an R or mod yours for the same reason.... to have some motorsports fun!
