First thing before your exhaust, mid pipe, dp on you need to get some sort of ecu upgrade. I know you can get away with two of these but you shouldn't take the chance. The afc will help some but you really should look for a upgraded chip like m2, pettit ect. Its just me but I don't care so much on how the car looks just on how fast it is, the car looks great to begin with.

Well IMHO i personally rather have a BPU'd baddass'd FD than a FD single turbo making in excess of 400 rwhp but with everything including the wheels stock...

BTW: Munchy, cool list...It would be nice to have an FMIC to add on that list ohh and 13 psi ....

I decided to save the FMIC for after a single turbo upgrade. Otherwise it gets pricey and un-realistic! With those upgrades, it'll reduce temperature enough for the engine to survive under those mods.

Thanks for the comments, keep em coming!

BTW, I added a Pettit ECU Upgrade to the list!

And you call yourself a boost junkie? You should change your name to Bling Junkie!

(just some friendly ribbing, please don't take offense)

You might wanna skip that Black/Yellow interior idea... when I bought my CYM it had that combination and it was I redid the interior in gunmetal gray and it's much easier on my eyes.

Why would you need two?

One kit comes with two cones.

Awwww....give the kid a break. He's probably 15 years old. I think he might have gotten most of the info. from watching F&F. I mean..most of his "stages" are nothing but exterior bling, bling things.

I *am* giving him a break...did I not ignore the fact that he is buying both the H&R springs for his Apexi N1 coilovers? =)

Seriously though...I think i am at the beginning stages of his "stage 1"...and I've owned this thing for 8 months.

I don't think I'm cool enough to delve into the depths of Stage 3 and Stage 4.

He seems to have some love for yellow. Also he has 4 gauges and only a dual gauge pod which hold two gauges. I have owned my car for 2 years and am only at around stage 1 with some dips in the other stages.

btw, the dual gauge pod thingy. i wanna do a custom installation where 2 of the gauges will go where the 2 heating ***** are on the dash unit. ive seen it in pics and all but i never know where the 2 ***** end up? i was thinking in the little compatrtment on the center unit?

Coilovers and lowering springs are two different things. Their point is if you already have Apexi coilovers there is no reason you would need H & R springs....or vice versa...
