You bought a SR-5, your life is going to be hell. Change everything over to a GT-S.

The car isnt that impressive. Its light, reliable, and RWD....thats about it. Its an 80s econobox...its not even "quick," the SR-5 rear suspension blows and is a lot of work to switch out for a GT-S, and you have drum brakes.

Good luck with the car, but dont expect too much with it. I loved my GT-S, enough that I'll one day hunt it down and buy it back (its in Pennsylvania now) but boy are they overhyped. I have no idea how they got so popular.
