I would've parked my car somewhere else 3 days after I bought it, that way some jackarse wouldn't sideswipe it and send me much farther into debt than I was when I bought it. Then I would proceed to not hit a curb going at least 40mph AFTER sliding through 2 lanes of oncoming traffic, which broke the rack and pinion. And I probably would've avoided tearing apart my tranny as quickly as I did. Might've given me a lot more money to fix her up a bit....

 

one word RWD or AWD

 

Uhm.. not much I'd change.

5-SPEED from the start.. and different WHEELS!

 

^^^^ same here. 5 speed no autotragic.

-instead of eibach i shoulda got something lower like h&r's or b&g.
-Remove the evap canister instead of hacking off part of my intake, like what a fellow RDtib member said to do.
-haha maybe not get a rev'A model so i dont have to deal with captives and drilling my wheels.
-Paint wheels bronze instead of silver the first place...
-have a resonator the first time i did my exhaust system...

 

That is the very reason I went with Intrax. Ride quality has hardly changed on OEM struts, and the handling is amazing!

My car looks 20X hotter lowered w/ IntraX.

* 17" Black wheels w/ polished lip, no ricer 7-spoker WHITE wheels

* 5spd5spd5spd!!

* Had gotten a job a long time ago to pay for more things

 

I did start over with my car. Literally. I'm glad the black one smashed, it enabled me to get one with a 5-spd and one that wasnt banged up on the roof and such. Ive done the interior once and thats how I like it, not 5 times like I did with the black tib. Ive got the body exactly how I want it. There's really nothing I would change, this version is just how I want it. I may change the paint color in the future, but for now its what I want.

 

DONT Beat on My car.
Dont buy a Veilside Bodykit
Buy-
turbonetics t3/t4 hybrid
Some kind of standalone
Turbonetics B.O.V. and Wastegate
440cc injectors
Pistons
Connecting Rods
Intercooler
4.294 gears
fidanza flywheel
Turbo timer
ACT Clutch
Cams
and so on and so forth

 

Being on my second Tib, I did everything right this time I think. I wouldnt change much. Started off small but with good name stuff (AEM, MBRP) and now Im going turbo with all high quality stuff.

 

umm, nothing that cant be done still, just stuff i plan on doing,

turning up the boost after installing the xtra injector spacer kit from dentisst and my smt-6, definatly soon
some rims, already got them picked out, could be springish

maybe a cuda kit and drop my tib, who knows what the future holds

i cant say that i wish i didnt buy my bomz intake, because it served me well, taught me some stuff when i was a rookie, and shit, i found a way to reuse some stuff on my turbo, came in handy.

I do wish that i would have gone in on the air-ram and bbtb group buy because i had the money in my hand, but thought, hey maybe i shouldnt spend that much money at once. lol sad.gif

other than that im very happy with my car

I do wish that i wouldnt have fooled around and just went with boost sooner, because you cant beat the feeling when the boost hits and the people in the car get pushed into their seats and all they can say is woah!

Im glad i never thought about staying N/a, and bought headers or something stupid. fooling around spending hundreds of dollars for 2whp if your lucky...

 

i would have done NOTHING and just stuck to nitrous..

I wouldint have been too attached to the car now, so i could have sold it.

Now... its too late for me.

If i had to mod it... well i would have gone custom from the start and avoided the hassle of dealing with most of the companies i dealt with.

I would have gone turbo from the start...
