Hey y'all,
I did not know where to put this, but NA seemed alright, since alot of the mods we do are NA.
Maybe some creative administrator can make this into a poll?

What is your favorite mod and why?
My favorite is my TWM shortshifter... my biggest gripe with the stock car was the shifter, it felt like I was rowing a boat gently down a stream. Now the throws are nicer than my friend's WRX :D

My second had to be the CAI, I definately felt an increase in the butt dyno, and fuel economy went up about 2-3 mpg (I've had it in for almost a year now). My car is still about 20 hp away from becoming a 10/10 for fun factor though... :)

Least favorite mod is my N1 muffler... no noticable performance increases, but loud as rice :(

fav mod......

gotta be the nitrous for power, then coilover suspension for making you throw up when i take a corner, then the audio/video to make your eyes shake with the bass all while taking a hard corner and spraying out of the turn :D

ha, see you dont need to play a video game to have fun, all you have to do is drive with me in the car (and hold on)

#1 - The Tiburon GT rear sway bar
#2 - The TWM shifter
#3 - The Clutchvalvectomy

The reason is that these three make the driving experience far more enjoyable and controllable EVERY time I get into the car and they offer the best bang for the buck.

I am going to have to go with my TWM short shifter, as my favorite mod

then probably the Tib sway bar.

third is probably the wheels with my Falken Ziex 512 tires. Tires are what make the handling of a car. My tires aren't nearly the best but way better then the crap Michelins they put on the stockers.

I guess my centerforce clutch and fidanza flywheel would also be way up there with my favorite mods. Our stock clutches are piles of ****.

Do you have any pics of your Reverse-Indigle gauge faces. I would like to see them, also how easy were they to install?

The night picture is old, but you get the idea. As for installation, check out the DIY link at the top of the page - there's gauge-face installation instructions. I'm not sure what year your car is, but gauge overlays (to my knowledge) are only available for 01-03.

wow. still misusing words. usually i don't say anything, but this drives me nuts. lets go back to 4th grade

there = place
their = possessive
they're = they are

please make a mental note

my favorite mods?

1) TWM shifter, 2) all my suspension, 3) brakes/rotors, 4) intake/exhaust, and 5) wheels

1: Tib sway bar (makes car FUN!)
2: Wheels/tires (see reason for #1, and they look cool)
3: Interior green lighting elimination..... gauge faces, clock, window switches, HVAC LED conversion... (looks VERY cool)
4: Headunit/amp/speakers/iPod integration (sounds good, keeps me sane and happy on the road)
5: Intake resonator removal/K&N panel filter, although I want to change this to a real CAI soon (sounds better, a little tiny bit more power)
