What would you do next?

johnmcs1 · 05-23-2008, 10:25 AM

I've bought a few nice mods for my car. Waiting for them to be delivered. (nearly as bad as Cartman when the Nintendo Wii came out) Well, I bought a Amuse Power House Extra W dual exhaust, J's Racing decat pipe a Tracey Sport TS02 exhaust manifold and an AEM V2 induction kit.

I've also got a Mugen FRP Hardtop, 17'' CE28N Volks,Toyo tires and Spoon Sport progressive lowering springs on the way.

Now my question is what would you do next? (ps not interested in forced induction)

John, go out'n drive your Stewie.
For those "Got-Wrench?" episodez'a yourz, might I suggest somethin' in'a basketcase Jag 120/150, a drophead MGA, a Morgan 'r'a Lotus Europa'r Elan?
Either that 'r remove all'a wishbookz from the outhouse.

I'd go out and take some beautiful pictures of the beast when it's done!

I am thinking about a Motec ECU or summit like that to fine tune the add-ons I'm putting. Worth doing or a waste of money??
Also getting a J's Type V aluminum hood. Would love the Square Craft wing mirrors but hate to loose the electrics.

Good advice. If you really want to wrench on something, any of those cars will keep you busy forever. You may also need a fire extinguisher and a few rolls of electrical tape.

SXY- Yes I will take some pics of my beast when she's kitted.
Java - No I won't buy into any of that crap. Why would I when I've got an S?
And would an ECU upgrade make sense to add to the mods or waste of my hard earned? If yes, what would you guys use?

Work on the driver next - practice, practice, practice - learn the limits and then you won't spend money on repairs, just new cool stuff...
