hey all... yea recently i have not been able to get on the forums much with my two fricken jobs... but hey money is money... Recently my car was all f'ed up from hail damage but i made 700 bucks off the insurance company... WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NEXT??? yes redz i know.. rims and tires. That was one main option i was looking at. I will just list what i think i need to do and you guys can help me out a little and tell me what you think.

Header (4-1 or 4-2-1???)
rims and tires
air ram intake manifold
throttle body

well thats all i can really think of. everything i have is listed in my signature... if you guys have any ideas just post up. Thanks

I would do the intake combined with the headers, get good flow in and out. But the 4-1 or 4-2-1 is a good question i have wondered that myself. Which would be better hopefully someone else could answer that...

REDZMAN

I was wonderin where you were at mang.

Myself? Ehhh, I'd go for some performance first. The stock rims are light and if you get it going faster, you'll see how much them ghey big chrome rims suck.

Best deal to get in on right now? The Airram, without a doubt. Even if you don't put it on, save it for later. I've got parts waiting here to go on my car that I bought almost 2 years ago. Hell, I got that triple pillar pod from the first GB sitting here for my future turbo.

Think about the future.

Now, 700 bucks. You can get the Header for less than 200. I got my rims on ebay, with tires, for $550 shipped.

You should be able to find a good mix there man. Let me know if you want my ebay whore help.

I always thought that 4-2-1 headers were better for Autos, while 4-1 were for Stick... I dunno could just be that I did my search at HP.com and found some misleading info (as I usually do).

Man I wish I had 7 C-notes 02.gif But everyone's going to tell you to go performance first b/c that's what matters, but it seems like you want to show off your car more than anything, and I'm getting that vibe just from the fact that you have an underbody kit. I could be wrong, but anyways, I'd say get some wicked rims to go with that kit so you can stroll around town like you own the place smile.gif. Then get some headers and you can growl at people.

Im going to have to agree with MrPSXplyr... You started out with show... go show, the hit up the performance. If you do go perfprmance though dont go to far to fast. heh I blew a bearing and threw a rod and couldnt turn the motor with a 3/8" braker bar 02.gif lol oh well, you live and learn I guess...

well see im stuck in the middle between performance and show. Yes i do have the underbody kit, but i also have the aem intake... thats really all i have done, oh yea the strut bar too. I really was thinking of doing like rims and tires and also getting a header but i am not totally sure. I will just have to hang out for a little while, pick up some more paychecks and then we will see where we are at when the dust settles. Also.. what is the difference (in horsepower) in the 4-2-1 and the 4-1

REDZMAN

So there you go.

Do some more performance, and some show. Rims/Tires and headers.

For what you'll get out of them, it depends. 4/2/1 will show mild gains across the RPM band, 4-1 you'll lose some in the lower band but get a better high end.

TibOne

im going to agree with redz... get some nice 16" rims, and get some 4-1 headers and you'll be laughing... OR you could get some 16" rims off Ebay and lower the car...

REDZMAN

Yeah, I mean my rims were MINT from ebay, $550 and the tires were even good.

cdogtibby1

well i know im gonna get hits on this... but i was thinking of 17 inch rims... i really dont know. I want performance but i also love to show my stuff off. haha im stuck in the middle
