OK, I have officially finished the "look pretty" mods (paint, new stripes, interior trim, billet essentials, etc), it is time to start looking into the go-fast mods. This has to be a gradual build up, as my fun money account is not overflowing. Here is what I came up with:
Phase I:
Driveline - Have to replace the clutch, so I just bought an aluminum flywheel to go with the Valeo King Cobra Clutch (OK clutch?). Also going to add 3.73's to the RE.
Suspension - Going to add Caster/Camber adjusters. Any suggestions on brand? Was thinking Hotchkis. Already added the AGX 4 way adjustable struts/8 way adjustable shocks. Going to SCCA the car a bit. They have local events about once a month. Attended a meet and it looks like fun!
Motor - Thinking of adding the underdrive pulleys and a cooler thermostat. Already did the ram air (makes a huge difference at speed, check my post). Was looking at headers, but read some things that said this is a waste of time with a stock motor (don't need increased flow). May do an H or X pipe, and high flow cats (emissions required in Phoenix).
Phase II:
Brakes - Possible conversion to Cobra 13" in front with cross drilled rotors
Suspension - Frame rail connectors, possible aftermarket rear upper/lower control arms
Motor - PI head's with valve job, 75MM TB, 75MM MAF, headers, programmable chip (need programmable for the eventual SC, thinking tweecer)
Phase III:
Motor - Kenny Bell Blowzilla. I like this kit, but it is expensive. Prefer the "roots" type of SC. Not to mention, this kit doesn't need an inter/after cooler. Don't need to relocate the battery to the already space limited trunk! Then let them come at me and I'll walk em'
Can anyone think of anything that I've missed? I already have the Pro 5.0 (installed when I first bought it). Also, anyone with any suggestions on pre SC bolt-ons that give good power?
