I think you would have a lot more fun with these mods.
Intake and CatBack are negligible hp gain. More sound than anything.
Both of these would make you car tighter and much more fun to drive...IMO

Okay so save $100 and get the Injen. Can anyone explain to me the finer details of amplifiers? According to this., I should be able to hook up the four stock speakers, the two subs under the seats pushed by one amp and then the bigger subwoofer(s) pushed by a seperate amp. Now what kind of amp would work best with the little subs and big subs, in terms of Class-D Mono, 2 Way, 4 Way, etc.

And looking through the Tokico website I could only see Gen 1-1.5 listed.

I may let the exhaust go for now and get tint and either RSB or FSB.[/url]

Obviously, I know nothing what I am talking about...looks like they don't sell your struts. Sorry... I just thought handling would be a better option. The only thing I found are coilovers and it looks like they break the budget!!!
RSB and some Eibachs!! I'm not sure of your strut option but, it only looks like KYB. Input anybody??

kyb gr-2s are available for the gen 2s, i have he combo with trd spring.

and i would forgo the exhaust and get a rsb instead.
the car is completely different with one on/

Well I plan on eventually getting a custom extension for it and it looked to me like the K&N heat shield would get in the way a little more. Next month I won't be buying any mods because of costs for other plans for later this year that I want to get taken care of.

Went ahead and ordered 2 of these.

At first glance I thought that was a cd mixer. Are they going to be 8"s?

by **Taido** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 8:35 am

Yeah they are 8's. Blaupunkt and Kenwood make the same kind of sub but these seemed to be better as well as less expensive.
