If I don't count the things I switched over from the v6:
1)H&R ss springs
2)Maximum Motorsports C/C plates
3)Tokico Illumina...

It's all in my Sig.... just look at that.


I got the subframe connectors welded up yesterday and wish I had done it the day after I was born and I got the JLT RAI sitting the a box beside me ready to put on tommorow after classes.

How did you drop 1 second with the Nitto's? You must have had more than just the 3 performance mods you listed. Did you buy the car with mods done to it already?

Im sorry ment to say dropped it near a full second. My car was stock when i got it. It just needed some traction badly. Even when 2.0 60' on stock tires the nittos still dropped a **** ton on time off my slip.

i'm still not sure that i get what you're saying. what was your time when the car was stock, and then after you added the midpipe, catback, and nittos? The way i understand it is that stock lets say your car ran a 14.2, then after adding the exhaust and nittos, you were in the 12's. I'm sure this is not what you meant.
