personally if i were you, I would do some cosmetic things like the halos, maybe a front lip and lowering springs....and save up for a turbo in terms of engine mods....there's nothing else that can beat the power to cost ratio.

 

No, I do not hate it, albeit at times (more often than not these days) I wish I had a different car with better MPG. When I first bought my RA, I put on some minor mods such as exhaust, lower tie bar, and black tails. I also had a few mods from the previous owner as well such as CIA, DRL switch, and short shifter. However, in due time, I later came to the realization that I was never going to (nor did I ever intend to) race or autocross my car, so I lost interest in mods and slowly began reverting back to stock - and this is where I will stay.

 

yeah i was just kiddin....i know you like it stock, but if i remember right you're planning on selling it also...the RA is just too hard to get good parts for unless you really wanna put in a lot of money....that's why i'm switching...

 

Yea I have a few cheap cosmetic things Im going to do to it. Refinish the rims, Color the Logos Black, Re paint a few pieces of the dash, black tint, smoke out tails yada yada. It should turn out well.

I appreciate all the help everyone! A mod can lock this if they'd like. You all have a great, very helpful community! Thanks!!

 

don't do the TB bypass if you get below 32 degrees there.

 

And do not paint your Mitsu emblems, they will chip and look tacky.

 

I'll leave it open, just when you start doing the mods add to it here to help contribute best of luck

 

my emblems were all flaking when i got the car....pulled them off and did a couple coats of gloss black spray and a couple coats of clear. still looking perfect after the winter.

 

Debadge the entire rear and get the CF Mitsu emblem for the front.

And post pics of your car in the Show & Shine!

 

If your temperature varies throughout the year don't do it. Anyways you actually don't get any performance gains with it. Some people eliminate it but its just theoretical assumptions that your TB will work less hot....This is almost useless since the intake manifold gets hotter anyway. If your that worried about the temperature of the air, get phenolic spacer for the IM and get some thermal wrap for the intake and header

 

That's why you should just do a vinyl overlay

 

The supercharger kit is pretty well 100% working and the power increase is pretty significant...should be retail soon, last time i was at the shop they were sending R&D stuff away for fabrication...and i went for a quick pull in brents car, not gonna lie, it's pretty F*ing mean..

 

Really?! Thats amazing! I may put off any tiny mods I was planning if that will be released soon. Any idea on how soon are we talking? And is it there an estimate on the price range?

 

I should have done this. Instead, I just bought two new Mitsu emblems.

 

going back to what a kid said on page 1.. i know a guy in NJ with a supercharged 2005 or 2006 RA
