Watajk what do you want out of the car...Japspec or Sexspec?

Do you want it really fast or just few mods here and there...

for starters i would have got some nice headers and got a engine back exhaust instead of cat back....

then Intake setup...

[xtat1k]

intake ?

Sexspec but with the power behind it :)
Juz gettin ideas :)

[FastFwd]

so would u want power first or looks?

[WATAJK]

Power man :)
I gotta work around some the things u will mention as certain rules to red p platers but go on :)
Cheers man

[FastFwd]

Do intake first

then get Headers and hiflow cat.

[WATAJK]

Yeah, im afta obtainin a Mugen Airintake box, im able to get one its juz cash is a bit tight for the moment lol

[rayb3na_]

suspension/clutch/flywheel/intake/headers/ecu IN THAT ORDER. ;]

[FastFwd]

Well cash up and mod up...

[FastFwd]

suspension/clutch/flywheel/intake/headers/ecu IN THAT ORDER. ;]

Stock flywheel and clutch will be fine for intake and catback for now so in my opinion

Intake/headers/Clutch/flywheel/ecu/suspension

or

Suspension

Intake/headers/Clutch/flywheel/ecu

[WATAJK]

Alright thanks 4 the tips :)
Others are welcome
Im going get Tein Adjustable Coilovers when the cash comes up :)

[V73C]

just curious ... how much did you spend on your cat back ? i assume its only press bent not mandrel bent ?

[WATAJK]

Spent $400 but under 90 DB, i could got somethin a fair abit cheaper woulda had a much higer DB rating which could be epa'd
As my other car has been epa'd for a cannon.. im sik of having to change it over so i specifically told em to have it under 90DB
Still sounds mean :)

[V73C]

yeah but im referring to what type of bends did they used for the zorst piping.

[_bORdO_]

hey WATAJK, just incase you were wondering.

- mandrel bending is where no matter what angle your pipes are bent @ it always has the same circumference (so a solid 'O' shape the whole way through.
- press bent is where pipes now become oval shape changing the restriction of airflow.

cheers bud.

[mattchuej8]

my order. im sure some of you disagree
coilovers / headers / exhaust / intake / clutch / fly / rims / body.

[joyride]

if you want to go fast you should make sure the car can stop/brake just as good.
tyres and brake pads/brake fluid should be on the list.

[MWAKU]

lol yup, no matter how fast you go, the next corner will be coming up

[Crapdaz]

i'd say suspension mods first so here are my options.
Reason being suspension mods will keep you more confident in your cars handling power, when your giving it a bit.



Rear swaybar
Suspension
Rotors and Pads
Intake
Headers
Hiflowcat
Clutch and Flywheel
Tune up with a K100 or something.

Red P's in Vic?
If so, I would steer clear of doing too many mods just yet.
How long have you had the car? I'd suggest giving a good set of tyres a try first. When you've come up with the best tyre for your stock rims throw some coilovers in or a good spring shock combo.
Then look at new rims in a reasonable size and offset.
I don't think you should look at Headers until you're off P's or relatively sure you won't get caught with them.

Sexspec but with the power behind it :)
Juz gettin ideas :)
How much Sexspec? I would say please don't put rims that are too big for the Type R on, or lower it too much. But it's your car, so good luck :thumbsup:

[jim57a]

i agree with "Red EG4"

Definitely get good tyres first before trying out some coilovers or spring/shock combo. Maybe look at upgrading your brake pads as well.
