Looks pretty good so far.  Any plans for further body or suspension mods?

my 2 cents:  do the suspension work now, enjoy the car while the power is still new to you.  Learn how to drive it to its limits while keeping it under control and by then you'll be ready to start adding more power (If you even decide you want to at that point.  Sometimes quick and agile is more enjoyable than uncontrolled raw power  :mrgreen:)

well, just do it carefully......you sound a little too excited about the prospect of extreme speed  :|

that said.....
-you could possibly do better with another tune.  I don't think you mentioned in the other thread if this was using an off the shelf cobb map or a custom tuned map, but the way you talk about it and the numbers you quote sounds like a generic Stage 2 map.....if that's the case then it's not meant to be running the fmic
-a bigger turbo always helps, but pay attention to the balance you want between top end power and lag with the big turbos.  For example, I have a GT35r turbo that more or less kicks you in the gut when it spools up, but sometimes it feels like it takes forever to get it spinning and ready to go.  Something that has 20 or 30 hp less at the top end but spools 500rpm sooner might be a lot more fun
-If you don't upgrade your turbo, you might be just as well off switching back to a top mount intercooler, avoid the extra lag of having to pressurize all that piping with that little turbo


Give the numbers you're looking to reach and the kinds of driving you plan to use it for and I'm sure you'll get more specific suggestions  :coolsmiley:


and just for keeping things straight, maybe keep the "looking good" stuff here and your questions about performance upgrades in your other thread.  Not that it's a big deal, would just save you some headaches of cross-referencing all the discussions and suggestions  :mrgreen:



As far as the looking good part, I say clear those headlights, and give it a real light tint and it would look really sharp  8-)
