Thanks for the replies... EPHatch looks to be a decent resources, at least for looking at other people's efforts and giving me ideas. Anyone know of anyone having any success auto-x'ing these things yet? If so, a basic suspension and wheel/tire package guideline would be appreciated. This car is daily transportation driven on pockmarked roads, so we're dealing with relatively mild settings here....

That, and any chips or underhood upgrades that are considered "must do" items?
