You get used to it, but I've got a GT first in case i get bored with it.
Got TRD shocks and springs on the front and Standard shocks with Apex lowered springs on the rear.
Zisco Performance built engine, mapped by Martyn@Enginetuner. No problems, sweet as a nut. Had an Enginetuner built and mapped engine in my MK1 years ago. Never had a problem and engine is still going strong I believe.
