I've been having the same self-argument for a couple years now.... but Jedi's Advan T5's keep calling to me.

Don't worry man...I just spent $1 billion (relative to my actual salary) on Work wheels. I took a look at your mod list and noticed something that bothered me.

In the exhaust section you said it would be $200. Which exhaust is that? Is this just a muffler add-on? If so...your doing it wrong!

Don't go too cheap with this car...it will bite you in the ***.

I went ahead and did a muffler delete and added in a aero 2525 single sided on the car. Its not bad at all but I just didnt feel like coughing up 700 at the moment for a RB catback. Though it is on my list of things to do over the winter.

I was expiermenting with the Aero mufflers on the 8. My whole reason behind not getting a cat back.

Lowering springs, Wheels and tires, bodykit and accessport would be a good start if you're only going for style. That should run you close to 4k if not over unless you have hookups

i think if you can squeeze in an accessport some where in there, you'd be good to go. Over all it's best mod an NA car can have IMO.

dude, i jumped on club sportmax


the only comfort i feel for being in this club is that the mazdatrix guys use the same wheels as me on their drift cars...aside from that, I get embarrassed when i see an 88' honda accord with my same wheels

oh nice - i can say i haven't seen too many buddy club owners around.

but cheah, there's so many wheel setups i wanna try - i try and avoid going on vendor sites that have a good selection of wheels because it might tempt me to break the bank

I'd love new tires too. In the last year or two, a lot more tires have come out in our odd stock size.
