Re: FS: Angel Eyes and lighting, Last Chance Sale of haloz.
Ok some of you all know what car I have and whats in it. But here a brief discription. 2000 Tib s/c'd using the unchip with a 5th injector and custom cai and exhaust and full custom interior(thanks to RubenZ from Hp his dad does great work) running about 165whp currently using Alpine's DynoPack tuned by John over there(thanks John). Dyno sheet was kind of sketchy as far as what trq is was at and is back in the states so I can't post it. But anyways here the dilema.
I am saving a butt load of money being TDY here in Germany. SO money is really not a concern but still tight with it. Here are several routes I am debating to go cause I would still like to be s/c cause well i already have one and payed a damn good price for the whole kit(Thanks random). These are some mods still waiting and sitting in the garage by the way.
NX Nitrous Wet kit with all the jets and bottle warmer.(Thanks Jaws021)
MPS kit or Cuda II kit what ever you want to call it. Its really half in half cause we used my MPS kit to mold the Cuda II. ANd I still have three guages sitting in the garage as well.
1. Stay s/c'd buy lower comp piston, raise the psi to roughly 8psi or even 10psi. Running alcohol injecton for 8psi and above. Headers. 440CC injectors (so I can ditch the 5th inejector) and last but not least a nice full racing clutch kit thats includes the flywheel and what not you get what I mean. Still using the Unichip(tuning not a problem)
PRO: I know with this I should net close to 200whp.
Love that sound of s/c when it whines out.
Con: This would get boring after the first month.
2. SAme as above and add my nirtous kit with lets say a 50 shot.
Pro: Roughly 250whp maybe more do to being s/c and other factors blah blah blah.
Con: There is none other than people being pissed when you smoke them at the end of the track.
3. Selling the s/c and go turbo route by the kit from Speed factor seems the only good choice from poster reviews lol But keep the Unichip(tuning not a problem)
Pros: The intercooler would look nice in my bodykit grill
The ability to adjust boost if I need it and where
Turbos are just cool (sound like a ricer)
Cons: More technical install and maintance
More money spent on oil changes
More people have turbos than s/c on there 1st and 2nd gen tibs so not that unique
4. Same as three only add the nitrous kit.
5. Sell all my shit including the 2nd gen tib and go buy me a EvoVIII and do all the basic mods and what not.
Pro: There just badass
The wife still can't drive a stick shift laugh.gif
Con: I have to basically start all over again
I know long post but its causing me sleepless night in Germany cause I have nothing else to do but watch porn and surf the internet. So any insight or suggestions. Comments from the peanut gallery. laugh.gif

Re: What a dilema??
hehe, well i'd go turbo but if the evo is actually an option I'd go for it. but thats like... 20k more than the speed-factor choice?? laugh.gif
the big con to me on the sc choice is once your there at 250 w/ nitrous thats about the end of the road... 02.gif
on second thought.... evo, only evo... in return for this expert advice all I ask is a small token of your gratitude. <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%">just one mps kit</span>. see, told you it was a small request lol.gif
..I crack myself up laugh.gif

Re: Repainting the car
Being a Tiburon owner, I'd say to continue to make your Tib faster BUT an EVO is fricken awesome man. You should look into how much more expensive an EVO would be on your car insurance.

Re: Avatars, Avatars, Avatars!!!***UPDATED 56K WARNING***
Car insurance ain't know big deal for me. Even with a turbo kit you run into the barrier of the maf unless I go standalone but reason I added the Nitrous cause its get that extra uummpff when you need it. . I am e-7 now with only two car payments and the normal house bills. Plus me and the wife have no kids. And if we did at least the evo is 4 door.(Big Shit eating grin laugh.gif ) I have a 3rd gen tib too.lol Forgot to mention one option the tib is almost paid this summer I could just keep it and get my evo anyways. laugh.gif Thanks for the comments.
