Hi, z (makes you sound like a tri-stated input - electronics joke). Sounds like fun, and you sound pleased with your purchase.
Have you done anything at all to the suspension? If not, I'd recommend renewing the rear bushes on the lower control arms or even replacing with polyurethane. This may make 2nd gear more useful by helping to reduce wheelspin (and torque steer). Grippy tyres also help, if they fit in with your car's daily use and your budget.
I have a good (and quite expensive) suspension set-up on my '96 Aero these days (Abbot kit and poly and all that), but I found some time ago that renewing these bushes with OEM rubber ones and using fairly grippy tyres got rid of a lot of the torque steer and wheelspin in 2nd gear that my car showed when I first bought it. I don't do a lot of motorway (highway) driving if I can help it, and most of my driving is on suburban roads or country back-roads. Consequently, 2nd gear is my favourite.
We'll see what happens when my Maptun stage 2 ECU arrives (hopefully this week) - I may be back on here in short order asking about more suspension mods...
