Next 3 mods over $500?

[tmelch]

What's your next 3 mods over $500 each. Maybe you'll spot something you can add to your list!

My next 3 mods in order of getting them:
1. New stereo and speakers. Have a blown speaker now and a stock radio.
2. New wheels. Need more traction and will have an extra set of wheels. How much can I lower the car with new wheels?
3. Supercharger. With 9K rpm to work with! :D Maybe in a couple of years.

1. Transmission
2. New Clutch
3. New Clutch

I like the Comptech Exhaust:goodjob: (I've had too many problems with the Spugen Exhaust on my car)

Driving schools are expensive. Come out to one of the track days

[Johnyboy]

Come out to one of the track days
That too, but doesn't one of those Skip Barber driving schools sound awsome?

Anything fast sounds good to me! :D Didn't get enough speed at the Dragon!

I just got the ARC intake for mine. Let me know if you decide to go with it. I can tell you the cheapest place to buy and help you put it in if you want.

I'm working on a few things here and there. BTW Danny, I work in midtown every day so I'm pretty accessible during the week. At home I'm about 40 miles west of Atlanta.

Try to make some of the Tues nights if you get a day off work.

Performance wise, you get alot of thumbs down on S2ki if you ask, so don't bother with them. They're all power whores and if it's not dyno proven, they'll give you flack about anything.

Honestly, it doesn't make much of a difference (like most intakes with the S). You're mostly getting more air instead of cold air. The lower power ban is helped out a bit from it and it definitely changes the sound of your car. Plus it's the nicest (in my opinion). It fills up the gaps instead of leaving a cavern open like the tube style intakes.
