So it's gotten to be that time again where I'm really itching to add something to my car. If you look at my mod list in my sig, I've done a fair amount to my car. I really want another go-fast mod though. I've been considering the UR Pulleys, but I'm not sure that's the best option for a car that already has difficulty starting in the winter. I really don't want to get stranded anywhere. Also, I'd love the added torque of the supercharger, but it's a bit more than I'm looking to spend.

Anybody have a suggestion for a new mod?

body kit. i know you're looking for a performance mod, but the 04/05 screams for a kit

My vote would be either UR Pulley , NST Pulleys,Ingalls Engine Torque Damper or CAI. I had the UR pulleys until I got my SC and you can feel that your car pulls more. It won't be like woah what did I do but more of a subtle change.

EDIT: Not sure how much you want to spend on the Pulleys. I have heard nothing bad about the NST Pulleys except there are only 2 oppose to 3.

how about the hondata intake manifold gasket?

msmching

i know u said about going for performance.. but i think u have a little enough for that.

prefer you to go for exterior.

I would pick UR Pulleys over Hondata IM gasket, but yes, lipkit would be your next addition too.

Hmm...if I find the right price on a kit I'd pick one up. In the past I've always had better things to spend the same money on but it looks like I'm running out of things.

The torque damper is just to eliminate wheel hop, and I don't do any racing so launching isnt a big concern of mine

I actually have a Hondata IMG but I've been waiting to put it on during another project to save time.

Does anybody know how the pulleys would effect cold weather starting?

Yeah you need a body kit, or save your money and get a supercharger?

madmanmax3000

The Comptech charger hardly seems worth it. I'd get it professionally installed and it's not cheap to begin with, and the gains are just so-so.

What happened to the SC that was on Acurazine last year? Search wont bring up anything...

AZ blocked anything to do with their names, because they're not official vendors so you'll have to ask some members who knows more about it. They're called R E D S H I F T Motorsports.

optima battery perhaps? :p


i say upgrade the sound system


or get a lip kit

have you considered high-flow cats? P2R Throttle Body Spacer?

godfather2

since you haven't done the throttle body bypass mod, i think you'll be fine with the pulleys. as a matter of fact, if you've got an auto, it's one of the best mods out there

Hey guys, just figured I'd give an update and let everybody who doesn't check the AV forums regularly that I finally decided on my next mod, and I'm in the middle of the project.

Check out my thread in the AV forum if you want to see what I've been up to. First post tells you everything I'm putting in, page 2 has some pics on it.
