My signiture list my current mods but not all are installed yet as I am waiting till XMAS break to get tuned. I am planning on picking up Under Hood 2pc Shifter Bushings, Polyflex Front Motor Mount Bushings, TurboXS Tuner, Rally Armor Mud Flaps and Constant Torque Clamps (8). Does anyone have any other suggestions as far as mods go. I am not into doing exterior mods, mainly performance. I have searched and read but I can't seem to think of anything else other than maybe a ACT clutch but I am not going to get that till my stocker is on its way out.

Thanks
Dan

 

A front mount and a turbo upgrade. Oh and start saving money for a good clutch.

 

I don't know if I missed it, but do you have upgraded injectors? I am personally at 94% duty cycle on mine and I don't have as many mods as you. You will want those especially with a fuel pump.

What are your goals with this car? Street/Drag/Track/Autox? If you are interested in suspension, I would really look into the 25mm rear sway bar from Road Race Engineering and some Trailing Arm Bushings, they will take out the godawful understeer that is in this car stock.

 

Yea I don't plan on doing a turbo kit as my friend has a gt30r and its just not what I am looking for out of a street car. My plans for the car are to have a reliable 11sec street car that will see lots of trips to the drag strip as well as many track days. Maybe the occasionaly autox but not many. Yea I am still running the stock injectors. I think with alcohol injection there is less of need for injectors as you pull fuel and add timing while spraying. I didn't think about getting a rear sway bar, currently all I have is tanabe GF210 springs.

 

How about Nitrous. I drops my evo .5 in the 1000'

 

forget about nitrous...get a FMIC, clutch and some coilovers and call it a day.

 

I thought about it but nitrous and alky kinda of do the same thing, so the gains would most likely be not worth the money investment. Then I would also need to get an ignition amplifier for the nitrous and gap the plugs differently when using spray to get full benefits out of it.

 

I don't want to do coilovers as this is my daily driver and sees a good 10k of snow miles each year.

 

^ +1, Couldn't have said it better myself. If your having problems getting into the 11's with that; AEM EMS is your best bet without upgrading your turbo. Look into 20g, very streetable turbo that holds power consitantly and is very similar to the stock turbo.

 

Yea I don't think I will have to much problem getting into 11s with my current setup with some practice. I don't want to go to AEM EMS because of inspections in NY. I am waiting for the speed density to be released from TurboXS and then I will be getting tuned. 20g seem great but I have yet to see one trap any better than a 10.5 and most except the latest have bad surging problems.

 

hm... I absolutely adore my coilovers. Why would you not want them? They do no harm in the snow. While the ride is certainly firmer overall, it certainly seems smoother to me. (You do not have to drop your car to the ground just because you have coilovers.) Oh, and the improved handling is beyond outrageous.

My buddy had them in his RS and they were corner balanced and what not and just a little too stiff for me for everyday driving. Hard on the kidneys if you know what I mean. Maybe I should look into coilovers some more.

 

Quality coilovers can be "tuned" from track settings (you will need new kidneys) all the way to driving over rail road ties at 80 mph (your kidneys will love you). You might try searching, and if unsuccessful, try starting a new thread asking about coilvers and recommendations. I am not qualified to give good recommendations as to brands but if forced, I will tell you what brand I have. For myself, I will ALWAYS put coilovers on all cars that I buy from now on. I am a coilover convert. heheh.

Thanks for the info I will start researching coilovers.
