5? I give it 2 the most.

dont get me wrong im not trying to **** u off :P , but think of it, the biggest gain for this car is the mid pipe, and that gives ya no more than 10 hp.

I mean I will do pulley someday too, but Im not looking to under drive anything. so if anybody ask me what pulley will I get in the future, I will get Greddy. Yeah I know it doesnt under drive anything it just a better looking than stock pulley. but hey I mean most of us spend thousand and thousands of dollars just to do what? to make it look good !!!!

 

The parasitic loss that aftermarket pulleys aim at fixing by reducing the rotating mass is negligible nowadays.

You will have a slightly better throttle response at idle, quicker rev, and possibly a smoother idle. But in terms of power it won't be the best.. 3-4 is where I'd reckon it at if you're doing underdriven.

Oh but it looks damn sexy in the engine bay if that's your thang

 

OK I'm getting the pulleys now....
Someone better help me install it!!!!

I got about another 1k to spend after my recent COBB, HKS single side and AP midpipe purchase.

I'm looking at some TEIN S. Springs for a nice drop(for NYC streets anyway), some front and rear sway bars(maybe a combo deal when fluid gets back to me) , the GTSPEC radiator panel along with the Titek CF air-duct (I'm gonna chop my bumper for some sweet cold air into the engine bay) and the pulleys as mentioned above!

That you guys think?

 

Tein's with Tanabe front and rear sawys go well. Though it's gonna be bit on the firm side.

As for a "cold air intake" I really say just sell your K&N and get a true cold air intake like the AEM or MS.

 

Bumpers messed up so i figured id chop shop it up lol

Im thinking about getting the RB front and rears and i think fluid is giving a combo deal on the underfdrive pully and the sways.

Teins and RBs or AP sways go good?

 

yeah you're probably right.... HAHA plus it was a cheap mod. I got it off ebay for 120 shipped (ended up coming from fluid) I think it's definitely worth it tho

 

I think there's an RB package of springs and sways for like 500.

I'm sure Tein's are good, but RB isn't half bad either.

 

Nice find! Ill talk to FluidMotorsports about that.

 

good stuff... me and u now should make a vid together lol... and hows the sound on it?

 

doesnt the ap pulleys make the rev faster?

 

The AP does make the revs run up faster, but it's not a big deal. More responsive is more like it, since it's lighter (less inertia to overcome) and underdriven (again, less inertia to overcome).

*edit* Juan, the RB springs offer less drop than the Tiens (both the S and the H, but I only ever seen people use the S). That might or might not be the reason why you want aftermarket springs, but I know I'd prefer the RBs myself (I am going to get that entire set sometime) because of the road conditions around me.

 

yo juan, what springs are you running currently?

 

Not sure yet no money right now got a couple bills due....:^(

 

I'm currently running stock springs.

The only reason i want the teins is because tomcats8 got them and i liked the drop he has cause its not 2 low -- If the RB springs are even less of a drop then im going with them rather get a combo deal and have all the same namebranding

gh8st if i find someone to buy my current hood then ill get yours. You coming this Thursday?

TOMCATS8 -- You took out the silencers? cause you not spitting fire if you didn't.

 

yeah i'll be there thursday. Still waiting to hear back from the1ndonlii about the hood.. he was looking at it, but we'll have to see. Why don't you just get your hood refinished? how much would that run you?

 

prob like 100 bucks give or take -- I don't feel like going through all that though
If you sell it ill just sell this one and put my stockie back on or buy another hood from someone else.

EDIT:
I also got a MS replica front bumper and sides thats painted already thats sitting in my damn closet getting all messed up with mad crap on it -- i wanna get that **** fitted already -- anyone know a cheap spot to get that done?

 

Juan, I forget, is your hood vented?

 

Yeah took them out....

 

lol cool, its a little loud but i like it...

 

hey tomcat, you spelled tein wrong in your sig =)

 

isnt tien from DBZ??? lol

 

Juan wants to use the tri-beam when he lowers his car.
