Decision Making..

Ok I have a 04 Yellow Ralliart Manual. My current mods installed are RRM CAI and RRM Axle Back Exhaust. Right now I have 700$ and I need to spend it now , cause If I save it , ill end up using it on pointless crap like food or going to the movies. Anyways getting to the point , I have 3 ideas of spending my money and I dunno what idea to do. Ok first idea is I can get a full set of evo seats (front seats & back seats) for 700$ or 2nd idea is to buy a RRM Piggyback ECU installed for 500$ or third idea is to get my windows tinted black, powdercoat rims black and lower my car with progress springs and all that for around 750$ so I dunno what should I do?

you will see some pretty big gains from the rrm piggyback with your other mods....rrm has a dyno sheet posted showing the piggyback, exhaust, and cai giving 30 WHP.

I can vouch from experiance that the piggyback makes a huge difference.

I think $700 might get you ONE evo seat.... maybe.... so i'd go with the piggyback or save a little more and get some good coilovers - JIC or Tein

Wow, that's a killer deal then, I'd probably go for that just cuz if you wanted to do it later it would cost you $$$

I don't know... I myself would have to go for that good @$$ deal on the EVO seats...
But Piggyback is supposed to have really good gains for 3 basic mods...
It's on you show or go!?

I'd pounce on those seats. Dealer would want around $1,000 for each of the front seats.

However, $700 is a good start on a turbo, and RRM does layaways which would keep you from spending the money elsewhere.

Never, ever, ever powdercoat aluminum rims! If you do and hit a pot hole or something the rim will fall apart. The bakeing process messes them up. I think the ECU piggyback is the best idea. Its the cheepest and you will see the most improvment from it.

I'm for the ECU too. I mean, EVO seats would be cool and all, but are they really worth upgrading from the RA seats for? I think we've already got some really good seats stock.

See...now I don't know now. I'm arguing myself in this post! I'm really big on seats...that's why I sold my last car (because the seats were terrible). My opinion here is usless!
