I'm stuck
I have about 1200 to spend now and dont know what to buy. I would like having more power but want better handeling too (autoX)
My current mods are, Crank pulley, Injen CAI, Kinetix V4 plenum, Borla TD, and test pipes. The mods im in a dalema on that i could get a either a Reflash, LW flywheel, Final Drive, Hotchkis suspension kit and 25mm spacers, or meganracing coilovers. so please help me out what would you guys do? |
If you do autoX, might want to get the Hotchkis to get rid some of the understeer.
|
lightweight flywheel and clutch, 3.917:1 final drive, and a Nismo LSD.
|
Since you're in Florida, you might want to save the money as emergency hurricane funds...Seriously!
|
att that lw flywheel stuff cost more than i have
i guess ill just do suspension. has any body tried Megan racing coilovers? |
go to the stri club. youll have a hell of a time with 1200.

Have not done much with the Z in autoX yet. But in general, HP does not gain you much in autoX. Best bang for the $ is tires, then suspension. Also, if you use road race coilovers, it may make your car too stiff for autoX, you may be actually slower. Talk to the fast guys at the club for best options.

with the mods you have now def. get a ECU reflash
sway bars would help with handling u can do both for 1200 |
Do not get ECU reflash.
I've lost 5hp and 10ft lb of torque respectively after Technosquare reflash. I had them set it back to stock and got my power back. I have dyno chart before and after comparison, but i'm too lazy to look for it=( |

I've heard bad things about the megan racing stuff. I was thinking of going that route. I chose Tanabe instead but of course I have a friend who is a supplier so I got it at 50% off, :D.

Suspension mods will make you faster than horsepower mods when it comes to track/autoX.

Switch
hey if you are looking for a little better handling... read up about the SSS speed sensative steering for details... i'll be selling a switch in a week or 2 to improve it... should help on the track quite a bit!!!! the switch will be $40+ shipping, not a very big chunk out of the 1200, ive knocked off a few seconds on the road course. and daily driving when i take a HARD turn i can feel the difference... feels like i have more boundaries... take them turns harder and faster
|
auto x with that budget...
Tanabe SO-C or TEIN Basic NISMO Brake Pads, Stop Tech Lines, Stop Tech Rotors, Motul Fluid... I can get a package price put together for you... |
ok thanks i think im gonna go the suspension route since some say this reflash sucks. I know its offtopic but has anyone used the Emanage ultamate and got gaines?
and on another note Why cant i post in the FS section?! says i need to activate my accont. |
I just got tanabe GF210 springs and I love them. Tanabe is good stuff. Just an endorsement, :D.
