VividRacing has one set of exhaust headers for the 2.5RS for $200. That's in the clearance section for all you peeps that are interested.

a buddy of mine has a brand new one, and i get a nice price discount. and, it DOES have the Carb Legal sticker! 
he also has a Fidanza lightweight flywheel for the RS that he has for sale. i am not interested in it. so, if someone else is, let me know, and i'll pass along the price he is asking for it (it IS new as well).

i believe the primary factor of stalling depends on the weight of the flywheel. the lighter the flywheel, the more likely it is to stall.
unless i'm mistaken, the stock RS flywheel is 16lbs. i'll see if my buddy can weigh the flywheel, and i'll PM you the details.

People are surprised when they hear that I have an automatic. I remember someone was like, do you want my rear diff? And I responded, I don't know if I can use it. I have an automatic. Him: Seriously? Me: Yeah. Everyone knows that.

eh. who cares if its an automatic. as long as you enjoy it.
though, for twisties, auto's tend to suffer a bit from lack of control of the power band is all. but, a good driver can overcome a lot of that.

I start it in one, then go to two. One pulls a little better from the start. I've tried leaving it in two when I first started but it felt groggy off the line.

i've never done AutoX in an automatic. honestly, i've only ever done AutoX in my mr2. my tires were perfectly fine before my 3 runs. afterwards, there were CHUNKS missing.
