In terms of performance, how much modification can I do with an AT FD1?

[ej20i]

light weight pulleys apparently they are not the best option for our engines
they ruin the harmonic balance in the engine
as they are way lighter than stocks

save! go k20

i would if i won tatts LOL

Which Sway Bar would you guys recommend? i heard that some of them are made of steel, cheaper and heavier

Yea I think my step would be
1. wheels and tyre
2. SRI intake
3. Sway Bar / tower bar

[aero]

ur forgetting teh suspension. do that if ur gonna go for wheels and tyres first imo. or else it will look like a bit of a 4wd

[Reclus]

yes i understand that
so there's another 1.5k for a set of suspension then?

so the offset for the basic vti model is different from the sport model?

and i heard someone saying that for AT, we should use SRI instead of CAI?

[ej20i]

offset i believe is all the same through out Fd range (apart from FD2R).
get a sussy first den other mods after ur rims bro
coilovers are about 1.5K but springs are like 400 bux den again u will be damaging ur shocks if u go springs only
den go struts and other bits to stiffen up ur chassis den ur sway bar

ive got cai on auto fd2, cai is mad =P

So which suspension set would you guys recommend?
i mean, what harm will it do if i get just the springs? what are the big differences?

does it mean that i'll have to remove the stock air box to install CAI then?

[black8thgen]

get tanabe pro five from jdmconcept - got em on sale atm man, get them before it goes lol.

uhm yeah gotta remove stock airbox - and also stock air resonator (but if u have an auto u wont be able to feed a Cold air feed to the foggies area due to the automatic transmission box being in the way - you'll have to feed it towards the middle of the car (behind the engine) - which is what i did, works fine =].

[Reclus]

I'll check it out right away, thx

which CAI did u get then??
and where's the best place to get it installed?

[black8thgen]

got simota CBII (carbon charger 2) - from shift performance

andd i installed it with the help of ej20i, but any place can install em mate. if u buy from shift - get it installed with em too i rkn
