Welcome to the club. Always nice to have another 240 lover here. Doubt I'll ever get truly serious about drifiting, but I do have some decent plans for mine. Fun little things they are. Just like those Scoobies.

thanks for all the kind welcomes. Already working on a list of noob questions lol. Loving this car so much. I still have the biggest grin on my face when I drive. Already hit 800 miles. Looking to finally let this thing loose real soon.
Getting 24.9 avg mpg right now too. I've been looking into Cobb AP a lot, wondering if I'll be able to get even better MPG. I drive over 60 miles a day, saving on gas would def be worth the $600 for the AP. Any quick thoughts? I'll be doing research, but if anyone wants to point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Disclaimer: I didn't buy this car for fuel economy! Ditched the Camry that got great MPG for this car.

^ you dont have to spent the money on an ap if you dont want to. you can go to EQtuning and have ed tune the stock ecu....now you have better MPG's and you did not spent $650 on a AP. But with a tune and more boost comes more fun and more WOT! the modding can cause you to get worse with the mpg's because the car will be that much more fun to drive!! I would go stage 2! exhaust, catted down pipe, tune! have some great power and a really fun car!

man these cars are fun, but I am able to resist flooring it. When pay day is 2 weeks away and I have enough money to fill up one more time until then, I am very disciplined lol.
If i were to see this "Ed" at EQtuning... He'd tune the ECU for better gas mileage, but would my car be a slug as if it were on AP Econ mode? Would I still be able to boost? I liked the idea of AP so I could set it on ECON and then once the weekend came, switch it up. I guess I'll try to get in contact with someone at EQtuning, where ever this magical place is. haha.
After reading since my last post, I think I will pass on the Accessport anyways. I drove for like an hour at 60mph and saw my avg go from 24 to 24.9. This is about 90% HW 10% City, my daily commute.
Thanks for your input sir.
