No veilside? sad.gif
Well in that case, SR has a pretty nice looking kit, but I'm not sure about the quality. Your gonna have to wait a little while for the performance parts to come out. Plus a bunch of kits are coming soon, so I would wait a little.

mabye add an airbag suspension first; a rare, usefull mod. Then a ZEX NOS kit. Then look look at your options. Since you are going for a show car, look at suiciding your doors.

Then look at kits.

By this time all the performance parts should be out. And go with the I4 since you want major power.

If you just want it to look mean, and not go fast, go with the V6 6-speed. Add the basic bolt ons of...

CAI
BTB
BIM
Headers
Full Exhaust

Then add in a 75 shot of Nitrous.

Then spend the remaining $$$ on the body. Suicide the doors or make them open gullwing style (hinged at the roof line). Go with some air rods or Hydraulics to raise/lower the car...and then slap some pimpin 20" wheels on there.

It all depends what you want your car to look like. My suggestion is to get the v6 6spd, and the basic bolt ons. Then goto car shows and look at what other people are doing for inspiration.

Also, if you dont want hydraulics, get an air suspension.

Yeah, an air suspension will give you the adjustable ride height with a more comfterable ride and only a small weight gain, but its harder to 'jump' the car.

Random for the gullwing doors? I didn't know our tibbies could support that since we don't have a top door frame? or are you just b'sing? a 75shot to the v-6 would throw it apart without proper mods. Nevermind i get it now......

Get the Ballistic Racing Stage 2 turbo kit

SR headers - 4-2-1 for low end torque or 4-1 for high end HP

You CANNOT use a header like that on a turbo system. There is no way to bolt a "header" to a turbo system because the turbo manifold is the same part. Remember, the turbo uses EXHAUST GAS to rotate, so it bolts up to the cylinder head IN PLACE OF your header (stock header, aftermarket header, whatever, it comes off)

For $10,000 you can have a 450 wheel horspower Tiburon fairly easily. I wouldn't spend a dime on looks, but that's just me.

The V6 only puts down in the 150's to the wheels. So a 75 shot would keep you under 225 to the wheels. That is still safe.

Gullwing doors are doable, but not cheap. I've seen them done with an internal brace from the door body to the hinges. It also doubled as the handle to close them. But it gets in the way of reaching out the window. Also an external frame and smaller window can be fabricated, but again it would NOT be cheap.
