And there's nothing wrong with the stock look. Better to spend your money on power rather than shiny things. :P
I say that as long as your stuck on this island, better to spend money on shiny things than power!

^Its all a personal thing really because I like both shiny and power. I really don't like buying parts that do nothing for me then look nice. Do I get some sometimes yes but rarely.

I feel you. For me being on this island, the "power" parts kind of "do nothing for me". Even though I've shifted gears away from bling to said power parts now......lol

Haha is that where the inspiration for more ARC goods came from?

I think the stock motor is already great.
The power band is nice and smooth and nicely placed in the middle to get out of turns nicely.
I didnt do much modding and Im sitting at 320WHP, but I rarely get to use all of it.
Theres nowhere to go
Power is only good if you can use it, so I dont see the need for increasing power figures so much.

Oh, come on, guys. That wasn't directed at anyone in particular, nor was it meant as an insult. I didn't say anything was a "waste of money."

No need to get defensive.
