Oh bloody hell KOFFEE...... 2JZ-GTE man!!! You can do it!!
Don't wory about your G/F having a faster car than you.... that is the dilema I face with a 20V Sprinter and a G/F that has a Vti-R civic.... I know she is gonna whoop the pants off me in a straight line...
BTW the Echo would not have a really hard time keeping up with you in the IS200 atm.... if it is manual..
