You can do sleeper weight reduction stuff that noone would be able to spot you did.
If your interested I can give you some ideas!!

I would be interested in what you have to say.

Power on tap?

Ability to hold 450-500hp on stock block?
Frequent clutch inspections due to dropping the trans twice a year?
Never having to be the DD due to the lack of a back seat?
Girls love the power bulge?

The power bulge is worth it all!

I would be interested in some of those ideas,I also just picked up a true Evo 3 16g off of a local, who sold it for only $120, there is no shaft play, it is in great condition, wonder what bolting this on and a new tune will do?
