2.5 downpipe
3 inch straight pipe no cat, ressonator, or muffler
rc550's

Affermative

 

 

ya thats kinda what i was leaning towards. I like those pitch black thick 5 spokes 15 or 16 inch. possibly with some chrome nuts where each spoke hits the lip. what are some real quality tires to use? I will only be driving this car in nice weather and on the street not for track use really. and also I've never worked on clutches. I see when most people upgrade their clutch they upgrade pressure plate and sometimes flywheel. how big of an advantage is a lighter flywheel?

 

IM would be sick too.....

it's a tough call. i'm sure you eventually plan to get everything you mentioned, so it's all a matter of what comes first.

Get an Exedy 3 puck cerametallic clutch kit.. It comes with a new pressure plate and clutch disc..

 

Definitely upgrade your clutch next. Make sure you have your traction down before you go off and try building more power.
