please, let us know how it all turns out

 

Will do. Plan on getting the flash and TBE in late June.

 

Good deal. TBE + Dynoflash was the first thing I did. Major improvement over stock

 

Well looks like Al from Dynoflash might be coming out to Colorado in July.... I'm going to get the BR TBE and save the rest for a custom tune.

 

Here what I'm looking to order shortly: RS-R 80mm Stainless Downpipe $279, RS-R GT2 80mm SS Catback Exhaust $499, Authority Rear Bumper Carbon Fiber Shield $98.95 & Seibon Oem Style Carbon Fiber Hood $585 (Lancershop should price match though.) Total: $1,693.78 w/ s&h

 

I decided not to get the Authority CF Rear Bumper shield and get the Authority High Flow o2 Housing Turbo Outlet instead. So here is everything:

-RS-R GT2 80mm SS Catback Exhaust $499: http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...&cat=68&page=1
- RS-R 80mm Stainless Downpipe $279: http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...&cat=67&page=1
-Authority High Flow o2 Housing Turbo Outlet $158.95: http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...&cat=69&page=1
-Seibon Oem Style Carbon Fiber Hood $585: http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...&cat=71&page=1

Think this package is a good start.

 

Looks like I'll be making the order on the 24th or 27th of this month.

 

OK... Since I'll be buying Scott's (CT9A) MBC I'll need a Boost gauge and pod. I'm now considering to pass on the turbo outlet and get this, Defi Boost gauge & pod: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT. I could order the turbo outlet in Aug but just figure I do it now since everything will be coming off anyhow. Think I should pass on the turbo outlet and get the gauge & pod???

 

Well I won't be getting all those parts. Picked up my car yesterday and blew a tire. So I'm going to get 4 new tires. Think I'm going to go with the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW's. Look like a great tire at a good price. I will still order the CF hood. Hopefully I'll get the RSR Cat-back and thinking some springs.

 

save the money for a new clutch down the road

 

Jeez, you've changed your mind 5 times. Tires are obviously a necessity, but I'm quite disappointed that you went all the way from TBE + Flash to some tires I've never heard of and a useless hood.

Oh well...

 

Well the hood is replacing the OEM hailed damaged hood. Trust me I really was set on the TBE & flash/custom tune. But when **** happends you have to adjust to the situation. Here are the tires: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...89&rd=17&ar=45

 

Oh, I didn't know you had a damaged hood. It makes perfect sense to get a CF replacement in that case, but I would think insurance would cover that.

Those tires look pretty good, have much better treadwear than the stock Advans, but still have good traction, and the reviews on the Tire Rack are sparkling while the price is pretty low.

 

Yeah... Insurance is covering it. The OEM hood painted was $1179+ and the CF shipped is $600. So after paying my deduc of $249 I get a check for $930 to use towards the hood.

 

OK after doing some research I found the same tires cheaper from Discount Tire Direct: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...27&rd=17&ar=45 I just ordered them this morning. $540 shipped to the house. Just need get valve stems and mounted. Should be here in 3-4 days.
