If youre gonna dump money into an n/a dump it where it'll help the most. Suspension.

SPD Racing FC

i drift with mine it has 160-170rwhp, and it does fine, work on the suspension and your driving skill first

rowtareh

Ummmm, and learn how to drift also.

Do they have “any potential”? Sure there’s potential with an NA. Like anything else, it costs money. Look at the NA owners who complain that their cars are slow. Many of them have unreal expectations. Others own 200,000 mile heaps with seized six ports, clogged injectors, an original exhaust that’s collapsed to the point where it flows all of 75 CFM, and rusted out sway bar mounts. You’ve got to pay to play. Like BanzaiToyota said, “what’s your budget?”



For the 86, and assuming it’s either a Sport or a GXL, you may want to consider a complete tune up, changing all the fluids (that’s coolant, engine oil, transmission oil, diff oil, and brake fluid), fuel filter, air filter, TPS/AFR adjustment, brake pads, and tires (if needed). After it's road worthy, maybe a Racing Beat header, a high flow cat or pre silencer, a lightweight flywheel, and a pair of RB cans. When the motor finally dies, you’ll have a chance to decide just how much latent potential you really want to tap in to.

sliding into things makes you better

I wouldnt waste my $$$ on the RB header, there are better designed headers out there

rowtareh

Like what banzai? The SDJ headers? I read those are 400 dollars or more. I already recommended tune up, but seems this guy has not responded to his thread yet.

You want a header that works and makes power or one that makes noise?

rowtareh

I want something that works and makes power. I could care less about noise. It is gonna make noise no matter what. Racing Beat headers can not be that bad? Just for a conventional street driven car. Or are they that horrible compared to the SDJ header?

The SDJ's are quieter? (You'll have to speak up. RB has left me deaf)
