Just wondering, any thoughts?

 

 

what mods are good to start out with?

 

Turbo!!

 

. But if you don't have $8K burning a hole in your pocket, why not start with a good intake and then look at headers. Followed by the exhaust.

 

Least expensive with the most performance gain would be CAI

 

what kind of gains will u recieve with the intake and what about performance pulleys?

 

CIA - about 7 hp peak power
UR crank pulley - about 7 hp throughout powerband

Also, always remember the search button is your friend.

 

AND -

RAVI FOR CL MOD!!! This sum bitch ALWAYS gives thoughtful responses to these type fo questions for 's (and usually beats me to it!! )

 

Hmm... Mods lets see...


Intake: Comptech Icebox or AEM/Injen Intake

Headers: Comptech/AlphaWerks Headers

Exhaust: Comptech/Greddy/Nuespeed/HKS Exhaust

Springs: Comptech/H&R Sport Springs

Sway Bars: Comptech/Eibach Sways

Strut Bar: Comptech/Cusco Strut bar

Shocks: Tokico/Koni/Blistein Shocks

Pulleys: Unorthodox/AEM

SuperCharger: Comptech


My Current Setup is: Comptech Icebox, Alpha Werks Headers, Comptech Exhaust, Comptech Sway Bars, H&R Sport Springs, Tokico Shocks, Unorthodox Pulleys, Comptech Strut Bar (coming soon)

And I'm completely satisfied with these too...the gains are very noticable...

 

Hey Veeral, are the Alphawerks smog legal here in Atlanta?

 

yep sure are....they are just like comptech's except cheaper..

 

Oooooh. I was under the impression that they're not smog-legal. Thanks. Oh yeah, how much are they? Where'd you get them?

 

planning on a P&P of the upper and lower intake along with a bore +P&p of the TB

 

Not really. They are not CARB certified. Imoprtant for Cali people.

 

well here in atlanta they are...cali might have probs...

I paid $600 shipped... talk to excelerate on the board, I think there's still a groupbuy on them on the blackmarket


yeah...forgot abt cali..

 

Okay, I read that some where, that's why I asked. Thanks for the help.

 

I started with an AEM cold air intake and still regard it has one of the best modification in terms of feedback and fun for the price. I'd get that!

 

Thanks dude, I just have more free time, that's why I beat you to it.

 

Idid it three years ago, it is not worth it.

 

i think im going to start with the icebox and a AEM pully! i think i should notice some gains

 

A little. Wait til you get headers....

 

but will the headers make the car louder?

 

no.....

 

I work in the bronx, what color is your CLS and anything about stand out??? I will keep a eye out for you. I have the Sundance gold model and you can always find me whipping up the BX River Around 3:00 in the afternoon

 

mine is white with dark tents but nothing that stands out right now. I was going to get some new rims but these pot holes have done a number on my factory ones. actually im going to hunts point to replace one of my rims since its bent. has the streets messed with ur enjoyment of this car.

 

Well where do i began. I have a office in Hunts Point on Halleck st. which is where my car is parked on now. As for the rims and tires on NYC streets, i just replaced all my tires about a week ago and so far there still holding up. but throughout 2004 i blew out my front driverside twice and my front passenger side once. I should by stock in Falken tires. My rims though have held up pretty well. Other problems i have and i am sure you do to is all the debris on the road my car is pretty much mint condition except the chips on the front bumper from all the shit on the roads here. Also i wash my car every friday at the le club car wash on the Bruckner bet 149th & 138th st but with all the dust and dirt in Hunts Point my car looks dirty a 1/2 hr later.

 

I think you would be better off going with the UR pulley.

 

Veeral,

did you install the AW headers yourself? were there any fitment issues?

 

a ur pulley?

 

mj 31, yeah ur right about the dust on the car. Mine is white so u know im pissed when i wash it and its dirty after driving for an 1/2 hr. I usually go to the hand car wash on tremont right off of the cross bronx, i cant think of the name of it right now but they do a pretty good job. I hear their are places in hunts point where i can get a Factory rim for a very generous price.

 

Unorthodox Racing pulleys. And what's the problem with making the car louder. That's why God invented exhaust systems.

 

nothing at all i used to have a Nissan 300Z Twin Turbo with an HKS Exhaust and Greddy Headers. and a few other tricks but i really wanted to know if it would sound similar to a G35. I have a friend that owns one and it sounds great on the pickup but i dont like the inside.

 

and how much is a unichip and whats the price?

 

The only to get a Unichip now is for a used one from the group buy. If you want one, I may be interested in selling mine.

 

does the unichip make a difference with just intake and headers?
