Ok after alot of careful consideration (and alot of people doing the same thing) i rulled out turboing my vert. So ive now made up a list of everything i want for the car ill probably have to get a loan to get it all since it will be around 15k total. So let me know what im missing and what should be changed. Im pretty sure i missed some stuff.



Exterior:

RE pro front bumper and side skirts

New sunrise red paint job



Performance:

racing beat header presilencer and dual exhuast

intake

large street port

koyo alum. radiator

Post pics after its done.Should look good. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bling.gif

So, why did you rule out turboing the thing? For the $15K you plan on spending you could have one fast turbo.

will i need fuel upgrades with those mods?

oh and i need to add guages to the list too.

Well with so many people doing the turbo swaps lately and the reliability issues of the turbo i decided just to build up a reliable/fast na. And i decided id rather just buy a turboII or fd so i have the best of both worlds. :smirk:

that sounds good :bigthumg: , you dont need anything more than an s afc for fuel if you stay na, unless the judge gets his hands on it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Well unless judge comes down here that won't happen so ill just add an s afc to the list.

I heard the Brembo rotors warp easily, keep the pads, just try "endless" rotors!

ok thanks for the advice

I don't like it. I think you're gonna regret it,all that money spent on performance and it will still be slow. If you gonna blow that kinda money, and keep it n/a might as make it handle really well.

lol, thanks.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Yea really..

Well i plan on doing suspension i just havent decided what i want yet other wise id have it on the list to. :bigthumg:

either sell that vert, or turbo it, reliability isnt a issue if you keep it

basically stock, A TII drivetrain with a exaust, slight fuel upgrade, and you should be about 225 horsepower and it will run for a long time.

Plus I dont know where you will find a bank to loan you $15,000 to mod

your car, unless you have someone who is going to put up thier house as collatoral for a personal loan.

well i wasnt going to get a 15000 loan i was going to come up with as much as i could. I would probably put off the body work for a while.

I see, my advice would be to find another car to drive when you go

ahead with this project so you can do it right and not have to worry

if you can drive it to work the next day.

yah i hate having to work on my daily driver
