[Shotimes] Need Advice Quick... SHO or SLO

[Jason Kennedy]

I have no idea what your budget is, but Gen 4 Taurii
are going very cheap on ebay and other auctions these
days.  The reliability is excellent and the
transmissions are VERY much improved - light years
ahead of the Gen 2.  I have had my 2001 through 2
Gingerman track days running it as hard as I can and
I've not had a single problem with it. *knock on wood*
 I did add an auxilliary transmission cooler and flush
the fluid every 10k miles (anal, I know)  The stock
Gen 4 suspension definitely leaves something to be
desired, but it's nothing KYB's and a good set of
springs can't fix.  ;)  But for a daily driver a Gen 4
would be great.  :)
