What should I buy next...vote!

[zzoomer11]

my current mods are cpe cai, cpe straightpipe, cobb ap, and a forge bpv v2. blacked out emblems, tenzo 18" black wheels, sharkfin.

Im thinking about pulling $650.00 aside to put into the MS6
I put together 4 packages that I want to get together.

Package 1 includes: Corksport downpipe + catted racepipe.

Package 2 includes:
Eibach lowering springs
TWM short shifter (stage 2)
cpe rear motor mount (which ill probably buy no matter what)

Package 3 includes:
Corksport downpipe
TWM short shifter (stage 2)

Package 4 includes: Protege Garage turbo build. (send in your turbo, they beef it up and supposedly gain about 30 hp.)

if you dont have the lowering springs, i say lowering springs. That makes the BIGGEST difference to the car and youll like it alot more after. Sportier look, sportier feel. IMO our cars are pretty fast as it is. To me, speed isnt everything. I wana make my ride look nice, THEN i start making her fast

 

[zzoomer11]

yeah i feel the same about your looks/performance opinion. Its nice to have a car that turns heads everywhere you go.

Edit just saw you already had the AP..

It really depends on what you want:
do you want more horsepower out of the car?
do you want it to handle better?

what do YOU feel like it needs now.

If its your DD id stay away from a turbo build.

id say package 1 or 2

 

[zzoomer11]

I want all of it plus plenty of other things ha, however other things have to come first, bills, food, gas, you know.
So I'd just like to see other peoples opinion, take that and help me eliminate things..no matter what i get, power, or looks. I know i will be satisfied.

 

[Tungsten6]

me personally id go with package 1 but 2 has alot of nice stuff also. but on the other hand if its a DD i may avoid the downpipe (seems lots of people that have them smoke) but there are a few who dont smoke.

 

[zzoomer11]

Yeah i hear you on the downpipe, I think the people that go catless have more smoking problems, i would keep my second cat if i got that downpipe, but im sort of leaning away from that.

 

[Tungsten6]

yeah thats what i was thinking to. catted you probably will be ok.

I chose option 2. If you haven't done the RMM, you should. 'Nuff said.

Even the AWR 70 duro which I installed two weeks ago is wonderful. Just a liiiiiiitle vibration if theres load on the engine (Windows up/sunroof etc). Very minimal at idle.

cool thread! great idea for deciding on mod packages...
i voted package 2. Im like Shurik, its your DD, dont get with turbo build... just yet.
Im a big fan of handling over power, but then again i dont striaght line track...ever.

after this package, id go with additional cooling... TMIC upgrade or even FMIC.
meth inj or IC sprayer kit perhaps also before ever considering turbo build.

GL with whichever you choose.

I have all the stuff in package two going up for sale soon. Still brand new in the box shoot me a pm if you are interested

**Edit** I lied I have the H&R Springs -

 

[blackmica_es]

package 2 is guaranteed to be the most fun for the buck

 

[zzoomer11]

I actually have plans to get a cpe front mount in spring 2011 and swtich to a cobb SRI with a cobb TIP.
thanks for the advice!

 

[Guest20182]

Don't get 4, you might not get your turbo back til a year later. As said before, a RMM is a must for your car!

 

[zzoomer11]

Yeah, i think im going with pkg 2..and getting it through user: flightmedic,
thanks for your feedback

 

[zzoomer11]
