get a 4wd and the under steer is gone. I wonder if there is a way to take some of the under steer away with swaybars.

Surprised to hear you say that. I'm driving the AWD version... maybe I was just pushing it too far?

I've recently switched back over to the takeda/greddy intake system with an afe filter and I don't think I'll be going back to the f-sport intake. It sounds and feels so much better!

Haha thanks it wasn't exactly easy trying to keep up with them. Yup, most of the leaves were gone once at the top. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid
