How do you get to your spare tire with the rear brace in place?

lol.... I was looking at that exact same rear tower brace..... I would say the CAI if you don't already have a decent one or one at all.... You will appreciate the difference... Unless you live somewhere where it rains constantly then I would consider the SRI.

Easy, you don't get a flat. Problem solved, lol, actually I hadn't noticed/thought of that, I'd probably put in a bottle of tire slime since I was planning on it anyway.

I think you should get the Carbon Kevlar Intake it looks sweet.

Seems like you wouldn't feel the tower brace unless you were pushing it hard on the track, but if that's what you're building the car for, I'd say do that.

funny you should mention that, I always intended to track the car, and recently got four trackday certificates with my brother and father at a silent auction for the sweet deal of $300! My intention has always been a track terror in daily disguise, so I'm leaning towards the 4pt bar now since it is one of the last bits for the suspension and the CAI later

i just can't justify spening THAT much on a piece of aluminum pipe and a filter. intakes are intakes...just different names. they have people so convinced that you get such significant gains that are all lost at the flywheel anyway. carbon kevlar..total waste of money. go get a kevlar clutch instead

save cash, build your own. buy aluminum pipe and see what a machine shop will charge to make a bend. wont cost anymore than 35 bucks and you'll get the same result.

hehehe, thanks for reminding me to update my sig, I already got a new flywheel and clutch so extra power will be felt... and the carbon kevlar is soo preeetty, but like I said I'm leaning towards the 4pt this time, then new rotors for the track day, then diving back into the engine to bump power beginning with CAI, header and exhaust.

rewsintegra · 03-19-08, 09:19 PM

dont get the injen intake. the carbon kevlar intake is dope, but a waste unless you are JDM MAD TYTE or its a show car. plus they do sound amazing. but i would invest is some more suspension since you are tracking it

coldfire · 03-19-08, 11:18 PM

Suspension FTW. By the way, where are some pics of those mad tight ITR seats in there?

Hahaha, i'll take some close up pics of the mad tyte USDM seats in the car this weekend after she gets legalized and cleaned. I need to dye the tops of the back seats since they are faded from the sun.

coldfire · 03-20-08, 12:23 PM

Yeah a little brushing and some vacuuming and they'll look good as new for the most part.
