So what can I do now?
Alright I have...
CT Intake
CT Cat-Back Exhaust
CT Sway Bars
CT Front Strut Bar
H&R Sport Springs w/ Tokico Gas Shocks
Alpha Werks Headers
Unorthodox Racing Pulleys (crank, alt., p/s)
Thermoblock Spacers
Mugen Tstate/Fan Switch (to be installed)
coming soon:
CT Transmission Cooler
Cusco UnderBody Tie-Bar
Brembo Blank Rotors
What other bolt ons can I do that will make my rear end more stable and not break lose so easily?
I'm not looking to do a SuperCharger or a Turbo...
Maybe something to increase the HP or Torque...

HP and TQ? 3.5L upgrade. If you have experience in doing engine swaps, have the machine shop do the block and do the rest yourself. After all is said and done, you could get it done for under $3000 parts and machine shop labor.

I'm trying to do Mods at resonable costs haha... I was thinking NO2 cause ryan's been telling me to do it..
I'm trying not to do complete swaps or anything...
Remove TCS? what do you mean..
would something like bigger injectors help me out any? I wish we can do something like pistons and rods and stuff..

i highly suggest lightweight wheels and good rubber, expensive, but make a big difference
though n2o will provide the best result i'm not a big fan of it

no one knows for sure, i'll be on the dyno soon but i don't have any baseline prior to the install, i can say i noticed a difference in the top end power, the speedo jumps from 35-45 and 65-75 during shifts, didn't used to do that

i also believe theres gains to be had from a higher flowing cat, only dynos i have seen are from test pipes, just need to create the right amount of backpressure and you should gain hp/tq.
and personally i'm looking into a custom tune of unichip. then i don't think there is a single other bolton to be done. besides weight things like wheels, etc.
next on list would be 3.5 upgrade.

Why is it that every forum has to have one of you guys ... you know the "The sun shines out of my a*s" type of guy that thinks he rules the forum because he has been around for 12 months
Because someone has just registered on the forum and doesn't have 1000+ posts HERE doesn't automatically make them ignorant and inferior to you Mr. "Was a nooby 12 months ago".
I see people on this forum that have been around much longer than you pay alot more respect to the so called "noobs". Everyone contributes to this forum, not just you and the people that have more posts than you.

it was coming to you after you made the remark in post #18. your "comment" was intended for the post i had made.
but with that aside, are you really 38? after those years, you should know by now that as long as you're around people, there is a order for pecking. no matter what or where you are. cope with it and you may enjoy this forum.

The truth buddy is that I have enough experience on boards like this to know how things go. Many newbies here contribute more to the forum than you do and for that they should earn your respect.
Where I come from you earn respect by giving respect, you don't impose it thru your so called "pecking order".

You're entitled to your perceptions and opinions, but on a better note and to let this bickering go, thanks for welcoming me on the board and looking forward to more positive discussions in the near future.

But hey, if you really want to make some friends around here, you should go introduce yourself to all in a new "introduction" thread over in "Ramblings". Oh, here's a link for ya! https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/Oh, and one more thing... it is YOU who is not contributing to this forum with your measly little attacking posts. And I don't know what everyone else thinks but personally, after only being here a year now, I feel I'm a hell of a contributor to the 2nd Gen CL forum as well as many, many other members including my man Sun Diego.
Chill bro, go introduce yourself in "Ramblings".
