I guess the main reason I was thinking of the upgrade is because the car would pretty much be done for me. Before I started weight reduction my 185 already weighted the same as a 205 that was posted in another thread, 1,487kg or 3280, which is also not much more than a evo or sti. The only real advantage I see in the 205 is the front SS suspension, weight moved further behind the wheels, wider track and the fact that all the parts are there.
As far as looks go, I think the 20x model is hit or miss. There are a couple I have seen that are on my top favorite look car list, but most of them look like bloated pigs.
Frankly, after posting the idea I felt a little shitty about it. I do love my car, I just hate looking at it with its poor paint and not being able to drive it.
I know I can get the weight in the 3100 or less range w/o having to give up too much and that is good enough for me and I already have the 205's brakes, I just had put them on yet since I need to source rotors.
We had some freak weather today. Its been in the 20s and snowing and now its in the 60s and clear. So I am going to try and finish the gas tank today.
