Thanks for the kind comments ...

Nik – tell your dad to at least give it a test drive before writing off the 2.3 ... in any event, V6 is indeed available FWD.

Yup – definitely prefer the manual tranny – although the new selectshift just might change my mind if done right.

Daniel ... I’ve spoken twice to MBRP and sent them a link to Magnaflow ... he said they would discuss while in Vegas for SEMA – I’ve heard nothing back since. Tint by Ziebart Mississauga.

Drivesthebeast ... unfortunately FocusSport has stopped work on the Fusion ... F2 has a turbo for Fusion 2.3 that looks promising (but not sure who did the tune) and there is a sc in the UK for Duratec 2.3 that uses the Rotrex centrifugal sc - - but seems to be uber expensive.

In any event - - no FI before the warranty expires.

Anthony - - Brampton Flying Club indeed – recently started up where I left off in Air Cadets and taking lessons again.

Kevin ... believe it or not I actually tried buying fusioncanada.net but it’s already owned by some guy in a steel company in Bolton ... there’s a few Fusion boards out there but I haven’t frankly felt any sense of real community in them ... unfortunately fc.net is stuck with me for the time being ... and if Steve want s to branch it out I’m all for it ... and yes, the closest match is indeed baby poop green - - did I mention I was iffy on the colour?

As for mods I’m well on the way ... I’ve got an Eibach Pro-kit, 4 EBC rotors and EBC pads, and a bunch of Steeda chassis stuff waiting for me in Niagara Falls as we speak ... and I’ll be getting my X-cal2 tunes this week.

Still debating the intake and the only body mods I’m contemplating is an M3 style lip spoiler and changing all the chrome to something else.

The stock rims are 17s and quite nice IMO ... but the factory SAP 18s are really nice but really expensive - - so I’ll change those up when the price comes down or I find a good aftermarket alternative.
