Lol, i used to play skyrim...... Shame on you, somebodys been on 9gag/tumblr


My overall philosophy with a car i want to enjoy is why replace when you can upgrade! ( performance enthusiast mindset i suppose)

Otherwise simple mods to get the job done, ive thuroughly enjoyed rays budget 10 sec car builds, they may not have turbos the size of bass drums, but when you can wrangle over 500 wheel and sub 10 sec track times with a relatively stockish car, who needs em?

But back on.topic

Worst : from my dsm days- lightened flywheel- hate it hate it hate it
removal of sound deadening- friend decided to do me a "favor" and scrapped it clean when i ran into town for a couple hours for a parts run, the thing sounded like a tin can on wheels since.

Best: abs delete, coopkills/pansy patrols engine bay cleanup mods
ATR Exhaust and DN precats- makes the cars throaty note really come out, i even impressed a few older street rod guys i know who work over chevy 350's and ride harleys in their daily grind.

One potential mod i may regret/love-finishing this conversion to big single turbo (unknown territory, difficult to pull off correctly, lots of other already potent options available, mostly just to experiment like trevor/icelandic and taz and an

Also an unsprung 6 puck clutch, chris hill said the spec 4+ isnt too rough, and ive heard horror stories otherwise from pedal feel, guess ill weld and balance the hub for the known rivet issue and see how it does!

I can't say for sure if my 3.5" high flow cat made a placebo effect with quieting my exhaust/reducing drone but it might just be bearable enough to keep as is.

Best:
CFDS
Lightweight wheels
BBK
BlackStealth LCD boost controller
Apexi coilovers
more to come...

Worst:
Local machine shop replacing copper o-rings in block--big time fail and I didn't have the heart to complete it.
Hacking up a FMIC kit to fit T3 turbos without being able to reweld everything.
No garage mod.
SS braided fuel lines. I hate how abrasive they were.
