What's up guys! Just a question for y'all before I fork out some money for some mods.

I'm planning on doing:

- XLR8 62A Motor Mounts

- Ingalls Stiffy ETD

- DC Sports Headers

- Cusco Front Tower Brace

- Eibach Front and Rear Sway Bars

Are any of these mods not worth it? Does anyone have any of these mods?

Any suggestions are helpful! Thanks guys!

 

MOUNTS > STIFFY
SWAYBARS > FRONT BRACE
DC HEADERS > ALL ELSE

Hope the caps make the stuff more important.. The front brace isn't worth it IMHO! the car is stiff as it is, Adding weight to it will only make it slower! the Sway bars are wayyy more important if you like to turn fast.
The Ingals Stiffy needs you to have good mounts so engine mounts first then the stiffy..

The Front Brace is the only mod in the list that IMO is not worth it.

 

^^^ well covered

 

Thanks Skirmich!

I am ordering the mounts and Stiffy at the same time and installing those and the headers at the same time! I figured it only made sense to do it all at once!

I definitely am into driving fast... and around corners, so the sway bars are in! I hadn't seen much on the strut brace but it makes sense that I shouldn't need it!

Also, does anyone have any advice for best Intake Manifold upgrade for a TL-P?

 

^^ Intake AEM V2 Hands Down.
Manifold? that's the 4G Manifold Retrofit.

 

with power, what are your goals?

If you want to get to the higher HP numbers, dont spend money on intake and crap, start with headers, get some head work in, manifold/etc or if you have some more $$$, do a 3.6 bore and stroke....or do a supercharger/turbo....

BUT if you just want some gains and that will suffice your goals for the car, get the AEM v2 intake, headers, jpipe, catback and you will be happy....

 

Goals for power are to build a 3.7 6MT monster, but then again... still in high school so money isn't exactly lying around, at least not that kind of money

I'll start small and work my way up. Tranny was replaced when I bought the car (12,000 miles ago or so) so 6MT swap is (hopefully) still awhile down the road

I'll look into AEM V2 and J pipe, as well as cat-back. Still need to get Koni Yellows w/ H&R springs, and tires for my 06 3G wheels, so priorities first I guess

 

trust me I wanted to do the same (3.6L bore and stroke, MT swap, 350-370whp) but putting the power down will be a major issue....plus modding these cars are SUPER expensive....

this is technically not the right platform for that....you want big power, get a S2000 or a RWD/AWD car which will put the power down soooo much better....when I realized that fact, I was fully bolted on AND interior was gutted LOL....

luckily I still have everything sitting in my basement

 

More practical than 3.7 build I guess would be Type-S engine + CT Supercharger, or hell I could just leave this alone and save up for a 3G Type S

 

Don't listen to the wind...it only whispers lies. His basement is full of justin bieber cutouts

 

^^^^THIS!!!^^^^ With a manual transmission of course!

Or a RWD platform.
