So from the recent discussion on our favorite poll, Teh Ride of the Month, a lot of people have come to the conclusion that the contest is mostly based on exterior details instead of engine modifications.

Post here if you ride looks mainly stock and you spend your dinero on the Fast Parts and Suspension Parts. Also, state if you're objective is NA or FI.

NA
Full exhaust (Race)

Upcoming Mods include:

4pt harness
next is headers/flex and cam adjustment

This is just informative....not for any "Of the Month" praise bacc.

Paz...

Hey Joe, check my suspension. I went with some goodies there too. I am upgrading the front brakes since they suck as it is but when you factor in an ATX, they go rather quickly. I am soon going to get rid of my amps, and go for an in-expensive stereo set up to lighten up the pig. Plus...all this is in a SEDAN.

I was the guy over there busting balls about listing mods, it was not a personal attack singling out your car. With that having been said:

Full exhaust (Race)
UDP
Cam gears
TB
FR Stg 2 Cams
FocalTech Head job (Summer 2007)

Eiback Pro-Kit Plus

Jason,
whatever happened to the SVT Header Kit you were going to install? I thought that you had everything all ready to go???[???:)]

It was on back order and in talking to a few people I realized that coupling the SVT Header and R/T Cat with a 1.8 drop and the wifey who doesn't pay as much attention as I when driving, it could have gotten ugly. I chose to swap out the SVT HEader and Cat for the Shorty and Hi Flo. Just a little safer. I can still get the HPs up some and have it running well. Vassili can tell you that my car runs rather well for the mods I have installed.

..LOL. You would own us all...:)

Paz...

I love to see the serious lists of mods. A noob could really get a plan going by taking a look at what some of us veterans have. Hell. We have guys here with little site time but long mods lists.

check out my sig for mods. to much to type.

LOL. I've got nothing! But I'm just getting started on this car and when I get some more serious stuff I'll just sit on it for a bit until I get further into my warranty.

Show: 35 % F&R tint, shorty antenna, clear corners

Go: ORP (Only put on for special events), K&N Typhoon, and ordered a Borla 0n 27 OCT.

Safety: Bridgestone Blizzack WS-50's, 205/50-16, ordered on the 27th for winter, sucky "mod" but required

Next up: Diablo Predator tune from Tom, STS, Screamin' Demon coil + Livewires.

I have to balance out mods for the SVT and my Frontier so this will be a slow process.

I will type mine up Monday[;)]

...sure. Waiting for all the goodies. You guys dynoing the same weekend or no?

Paz...

Greg, I remember you had the turbo planned all along, good to see it finally makes it into your car - nice lists from everyone.

As for my current mods, list is in my sig.

A few others are planned during the next year:
Eibach Pro Kit,
chip,
Borla cat-back
and maybe some brake upgrade.

I don't intend to go FI, neither to get some crazy body kit, but some nice projectors and some tint might make it into my car.
