Get some Cams, a new ECU, bigger throttle body and maybe an LSD.

have u done the zorst?

do the intake and zorst and downpipe then extractors first. No point spending money on ecus if u have sh*t air flows.

not sure how much gain vs bucks a decent ECU like a SMT6 is gonna give u over a SAFC/2 for $300. But the SMT6 would be better. either way this will fix up your AF ratios.

ummm :? :P

where can you get the throttle body upgrade done?

and does anyone know if UAS charge extra for doing the slight modifications for the GR extractors?

or would it be good to just get them from rpw?

UAS can do the TB upgrade for you, but it will cost you...

Be easier buy the GR suited pipes from rpw. My set were to suit a GPX and it was a little bit tricky (lots of swear words) to make fit onto the GR...

start with the basics

CAI intake
Exhaust
Downpipes
Extractors

Then move to ECU or Piggybacks, TBs etc

hmm is it realli worth it to add 4k on top for mods..
it will be if u track your car
but if u dont....i reckon just do exhaust, CAI, extractors and some suspension upgrades
as NA cars hardly increase in power for the amount of money spent...
if u add 4k u probably can sell your fto and buy a dc2 typeR

CAI yes, exhaust+downpipes+extractors will fall into the $1200 (well not including a new cat back if i decide to replace my cannon)

and as for the dc2 type r, i really dont like the looks of it, it tooks old and beaten up to be honest :?

well for now the first i gotta do is get my car.. un-smashed :P

this question is for the people that have extractors on the forum...

did you get them ceramic coated or just like that?

need to know if getting them without the ceramic coating would be ok cos i wanna order them by monday :P

havent got em myself yet but the ceramic coating is suppost to reduce engine bay temp a bit because the coating is designed to reflect heat or keep it in the pipe or something when your idling, and it also makes the pipes shiny if u wanna show ya engine bay a lot, which is also good..... bit expensive though. i dont think i'll be getting it done

lol i dont think it is, the damage was more focused towards the middle-left side, so my exhaust is luckily alright :wink:

i reakon the ceramic is more bling really. it does have heat reflecting properties but what i would do is get normal ones and heat wrap them.
