Well the wife wants to know what I want for Christmas and I have no idea what I want . What might be a good gift for me for the FD? Say like around $500. I would go for a tune at PFS, but I need to look at a boost issue first(need to find time to figure out why I'm losing boost intermittantly when the secondary comes online).
My FD already has
a PFS intake and SMIC,
RB single catback,
generic dp,
newish stock rad(only 20k on it),
Tokico's all around,
not sure if the springs are stock or not,
PFC and commander,
new pillow ball bushings(need to install them),
silicone vac lines,
most of the check valves replace(Thanks Dale!),
GReddy elbow,
aftermarket head unit.
The only complaints I really have with the car is a squeaky front suspension, dulling paint and my boost issue.
My FD is my weekend car, no track cept a little autocross, and I'm not into exterior mods(cept maybe 99 spec tail lights and spoiler).
Suggestions anyone?

 

Suggestions:

Datalogit.
New rubber bushings. (I'm selling an entire front and rear control arm set in the classifieds for $500. )
Pair of Hallmann manual boost controllers. (May help you resolve the boost issue too.)
Mazdaspeed short shifter.

 

new paint job, although you may have to go halfsies with her on it.

 

A new paint job will cost $5 to $7k - unless he goes to Maaco.

 

damn you guys are getting screwed. theres a few places around here where you can get a good one for $1-2K. perhaps not car show winning good, but still a good job none the less.

 

Maybe a Supra fuel pump and 1300cc secondaries. Couldn't hurt to do that before the tune. Also, I second the Datalogit, it's a great thing to have.

 

cool Yosh, get a single turbo kit, fuel rails and all the goodies for it, is more that 500 but why not celebrate christmas earlier for the coming years and you forgot to mention me on the vacum lines job!!!!! sad

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys and yeah, FJDRX7 did my vac line job and FDNewbie got me my elbow.

 

HKS Twinpower ! Best Fuel Economy / Performance Mod, once all the reliability stuff is done...

 

Hmmm, suspension or HKS TP.... BTW, how do I tell if I have aftermarket springs????

 

I have a set of H&R's on the way, I'm still deciding whether or not I'm going to use them.

 

hmmm, how about a leather interior? see my post

 

, I already replied to your post. Must smell nice, but right now I'm looking at performance upgrades and an ashtray replacement with that pocket/pad thingy.

 

What about a Fluidyne rad for $300-400 ?

 

Actually I thought I'd grab one of these this spring:

Cheap and good.
