Honestly at first I didn't like the steering wheel feel on the 340, but I've since gotten used to it. I do think it's still too light, but it's not that big of a deal any more. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do with the suspension on the 340 yet. There's a thread where one guy did a bunch of suspension tweaks that looked pretty good... I need to find that again. |

I have a different feeling about my STi's - had a 2012 and a 2015 - the 2012 was modded to about 350/370 wheel and was a torque monster. Very fast and very loud. The 2015 was a simple stage 2 and far more civilized. Still it was hard as hell over bumps and used to beat the crap out of me. Loud too so that I couldnt really use the hands free phone. I did enjoy driving it but got to the point where I found great relief when i'd drive my other cars. Realized I wanted something more refined. I'm OK if the 340 I'm getting soon doesnt handle like a go kart. I think i will enjoy it all the more.

ok so car is at VPC. because I'm getting the MPPSK and kidney grills looks like it's going to take a while probably more so because of the former than the latter. so, car leaves the 29th (10 day work order completion) and arrives at dealer the 30th of april.
we shall see. if it all goes to schedule it will be 7 weeks from order to arrival at dealer which is pretty good I think! Last edited by monkiboy; 04-19-2017 at 03:29 PM.. |

ok so NEW update is car is coming sooner than estimated yesterday!
new info states: 04.18 arrival @ VPC in baltimore 04.21 VPC work order complete, on trailer, and en route to dealer 04.24 arrival at dealer basically cut a whole week off of the work order schedule over night. if true, that's awesome. that's just about six weeks for custom build - not too shabby!
