I just got my pay check so I'm looking to do something more to this car. I was looking into getting either a new Spec Stage III clutch and TC Flywheel, or a front mount intercooler setup with a nice POV and Boost Controler.

What you guys think?

I have to still pass inspection by the end of this month, I'm a little scared beacuse i just got rejected with my moms Buick Stationwagon....haha

I'm going to have to rig up my current exhaust (TC downpipe and N/A cat back) and I should be okay..

I'm lookin for a new passenger acctually. I already have new tires, why do you think I need new tires cro? :\ I'm waiting for a TC 5spd flywheel to arrive then I think I'm going to go ahead and get the Spec SIII clutch. My current modifications are in my signature, Lex.

New driver huh, thats real nice.

The NPR cools better then the Volvo, it is worth looking into.

from what i have seen, not much....the volvo keeps up rather well. The npr has less of a pressure 'restriction'.

Sorry Lex sometimes I assume. Intercoolers and header threads are just a big fight some times. If you search there are flow test and things for Intercoolers. On Turboford many many people like the NPR intercooler as a front mount over many other intercoolers, this is not the only one that is out there so whatever intercooler that fits your needs is ok with me. I am not one to try and persuade you to get what I like, I just suggest it.

Click to expand...

Walking to my car this morning to head off to work I noticed I had a serious flat. Tire had two holes in it. I put a TC wheel and tire on for now. I'm going to clean up all 4 TC wheels and put on my bran new Futura Ultra-Z tires that have been sitting in my basement for a few months (waiting for ponies). I figured I'd do this than buy another tire for the tenholes, cause if i buy one new tire, i should really buy another, and Its not worth it.
