yea body kits are not as important on a new car that already looks good except taillights lol. need performance upgrades. (already have a GTS body kit) car looks fast enough already it needs to be fast next. i got smoked by a old who knows what with a muffler hanging on by a wire. need to break 200hp asap hope before october.

 

yeah so true!!!

 

the front bumper is one solid piece. you can't take the center (often blacked out by owners) piece out and just slip another one in. it would have to be cut out. your best bet is painting it or covering it. i guess rrm could make a carbon fiber cover but i doubt they will. i guarantee they dont make an "insert" for people who want to cut a hole in their own bumper.

 

cant wait for some body work, and a turbo

what are prices like on both?
and what kinda increases should we expect with the turbo?

 

Just wondering, how compatible are your kits with other aftermarket parts? For instance, if a buyer decides he wants a different BOV, intercooler, etc. how well would these misc. after market parts match up? (I understand if this may be a difficult/impossible to answer at this time). This is more of a general question regarding the RRM turbo kits, since I always wanted one for my '04 Ralliart before she bit the dust.

 

I think the price will be between 3-4 k. I forgot where I read this, but someone said around 80 whp. this could be absolutely wrong, so don't bombard me

 

Wow someone must live at home still. I make 1500$+ every two weeks and am lucky enough to have some extra cash to go travelling and pay bills, not spend it on mods....would be nice but in two years mods will be plentiful. Until then I will keep saving money for a month in europe next summer. My lancer can wait...it has gas an brakes...I am happy..

Although I would really like to indulge in some extra juice for the baby.

 

it all depends where you live buddy. no i dont live at home i am 27 years old for crying out loud, i OWN my own house. and yeah i travel too, i go every year to ireland and poland to visit family, yeah i hit 2 countries at once, sometimes 3. and i am not trying to argue here, just wanna point out to the guy above of being wrongly accused... i have saved my money wisely when growing up...and oh yeah i won 20k in lottery money in the state of SC. so boooooyyyahhhh ahhi should have taken this to the PM's sorry mods

 

In any case, get back on-topic.

 

contradiction? you spent your money on lotteries but saved it wisely?



in any case, any new news on the kit? I am looking for power numbers mostly so I can start to save or pass it up. Anything less then 240whp is not worth my $5000.00 IMO

 

If you want to discuss Jake's personal finance, use a PM. Talk about the car or your post will get deleted.

 

your white 08 is beautiful!

 

thank you, yes it is. lol.

$3000 a month is practically rich around here. 36000 a year is a lot more than you need to pay your own rent and other bills in arizona and a large portion of texas... but wouldnt get you **** in california or the east coast.

i don't ever plan to turbo my car now that i've thought about it. just doesn't seem worth it. i'm not in to racing and never will be, and i honestly have no problem passing people with what i got now. i just want some wheels, a system and maybe a new hood if they come out with a nice one. oh yeah, maybe an exhaust if they can make a mean one. and coilovers... basically everything else BUT a turbo lol. just no need... 150 mph isn't that useful to me.

 

say goodbye to your warranty.......

 

Yep, thats the only thing that sucks with this!
