Tires. Good summer tires are very important.

Get a RSB. Get a j-pipe.

OMG the RSB is so full of win.
I'm having so much fun whipping my car around corners.



Jpipe was my first mod, but after awhile you get used to the power delivery.
I just switched the Progress rsb to stiff this morning, and I can tell you that I will never be bored of it.

I just bought a set of Nitto NT05's. sticky ass summer tire.
WIll update when I get them mounted.

Pulley and drop in K&N filter. Light weight wheels, they make a world of difference!

RSB, jpipe, lowering (springs or coils will do, depending on what you want it to look/ride like), as mentioned above.

I have the type-s RSB (20mm vs stock base 17mm) and it was a VERY good mod for the money. Really tightens up the back end very well.

Because, we cant tune our cars, yet....CAMS will be useless.
There is a new ECU in the works that will open up ENDLESS amounts of traditional "hot rod" mods.

I really have heard good things about this tire? Is this tire strictly for Summer, or can it be used in light snow as well? Just curious as I live in the Northeast.

But they are a sticky SUMMER tire.

which means they probably wont do well in snowy climate.

Its basically summer all year long, here in Houston

unorthodox crank pulley. stock diameter or underdrive. the difference between the two won't be huge since most of the weight difference is there even with the stock diameter one.
