I'd have to say by far the best mod you can have done is the suspension. I got the MS springs/shocks/sways/tower bars and it makes a world of difference.
The lighweight flywheel is a decent mod but considering the cost of labor to install and the minimum gains from it your money would be best spent elsewhere. |

i want the final gear!!! anyone wanna give me some input on it?!?!

I'll post here if there is any change with the ss line. |
Thought about this some more: I'm going to also go with the ONE mod that I sometimes forget is even on my car: RP Short Shifter! It's the mod that just keeps on giving.

rims.
|
wat do the ctluch lines do? i might go ahead and get these.
|
put in my ss clutch line last week . I have a HD clucth & have been having trouble getting full clutch disenguagement . It could have been air in the line but I used the same proceedure to bleed it as I did after putting the line on and the problem has gone away now . So - yes it is worth it if you have a HD clutch .
|
all my mods are the best.
but in terms of gains vs cost, I would say a boost controller outweighs the rest :) |
Hot Chicks are the best addition to any car.
I know I keep a couple in my trunk at all times. I kid, I kid. I don't ever put anything in my trunk. |
Drove a stock RX-8 last weekend and it definitely reaffirmed my love of the Axial Flow Short Shifter. :rock:

60lbs seems tough to believe, the BBK will give you what, 24lbs off the front? that leaves the rims saving 30lbs or over. thats close to 7 pounds a wheel. Well now that a think of it you could do it, 17-18 pound wheels though.

well, he said unsprung weight. 1 kg reduction in unsprung weight is about 6kg reduction in sprung weight. so im guessing that's where he's getting it from.

squash air freshner for me!
