Worth mentioning, after driving Hap's car yesterday, are the impressive 
results from his latest mods.

Suspension:
Not harsh at all.  Very controlled, very reasonable ride... and we don't have 
optimal roads.  Another interesting thing, since the last time I drove his 
car, was the reduction in tramlining.  It is virtually imperceptible now, and 
Hap attributes this to the addition of the 2B camber plates, with some extra 
caster dialed in.  All in all, a great ride with very nice handling.  It would 
certainly be suitable for daily driver use.  The revalved Bilsteins seem very 
worth the effort.

Engine:
I drove it once before, but the impression I got this drive was one of 
significantly freer revving, and enhanced pull.  I think we were reading 110, and 
weren't even off the entrance ramp.  Doing a 6th gear pull, full boost was 
indicated before 3500rpm, making it very similar to an RS2 modded engines "hit" 
here at altitude.

The car is entirely enjoyable to drive, with barely a hint that it is heavily 
modified... except when you ask it to go.
