Hey everyone,

So i put on the axle back exhaust, the Intake and the tune. Now i'm wondering where to go from here?

should i start working on the suspension? Shocks, Springs, Sway bars and Strut tower brace (in stages of course i dont have 2grand to put down).

Or get the T-lok?

Or the Hurst short throw shifter with pistol grip?

Or, even though i kinda wanted to keep this till the end but working on appearence mods?

Just throw out ideas.

thank you
Danke
Gracias

if I had the stick shift I would go with the short throw shifter and a K brace. Not exactly up on the K brace but I hear it makes shifting a lot more solid and with the other modes you have a good shiter seems like a good next step...imho

supercharger All The Way

as much as i would like to supercharge the beast, i'm not willing nor have the ability to drop 5 grand.... yet... gears... I'm afraid of gears... that's a big move...

[mrjimmy]

the big reason I say gears is you cna do on your own in a few hours and its done. Gears(I have 3:73's and the T-loc) are good but they take all day and no one else knows you have em except you..lol..
I just got an Xcharger supercharger for mine so the gears are a plus. Except for a moment of doubt,I was working towards this end,,,supercharged,redfire cruiser. I am alomost there. Till the next must have pops up...
Hurst Shifters...do it

Only you know what is important to you, and it depends on how, where, and why you drive.

If the car is your daily driver and you don't expect to drag race or road race or autocross, there may be no good reason to do any performance modifications beyond what you have. Maybe tell your tuner you want an economy program.

If you frequently travel long distances you may get more satisfaction from quieter, slightly taller tires than what you are running now.


For my part, I'm a "handling/cornering" kind of guy. I'd go for suspension upgrades in roughly this order (not only because I like quicker turn-in, controllable rotation, and high cornering power, but because they are in use every time I drive the car, not just when I race. Makes me feel like I didn't waste my money) :

· Springs and struts/shocks (I have Steeda Sports and Tokico D-Spec adjustables)
· GT take-off or better sway bars
· GT or better wheels and tires

After you get to a point where you have to ask what to do next, maybe you don't need to do any more. There is no sin in letting well-enough alone.

(Hm. Maybe a one-piece driveshaft ... )

thanks FY, i think you and all of us know that we can't leave well-enough alone. haha! but definately the suspension is the one at the top of my list. This is my daily driver, but at the same time. I'm not going to need to do all the moding to go fast drag or corner more nimbly. I just want to know that i can if i want to.
