Wow....sounds like a good time. Bet you cant wait to drive it.

I'm already driving it, just like my grandma would, at least until 500 miles are on the new clutch. The engine seems much more responsive now and REALLY pulls on top. Just 168 more miles to go before I can see how good the new clutch grabs. Real quick question, Does anyone know of a good place in Florida to get this thing dyno-tuned after I install the V-AFC II???

is your header bronze yet?

Sonik_Fury · 11-22-2003, 05:50 PM

Yes, but a very nice shade of DULL bronze......is there any way to shine that thing up a bit??????

My header is veryyyy oogly, I have given up on caring for it.

whoaa crap man that is OUTSTANDING! i am considering the same mods before the year is up. are you satisfied so far with those 4 mods? i hope they were worth it. How has the drivability changed with the lighter flywheel?

How much did you pay for the Greddy header ? Looks awesome !

Best place in FL to have your car tuned would be Secret Services. http://www.secretservicesinc.com/

DanYo: I am very satisfied with the mods, I did alot of research on the Clutch/Flywheel combo and it has lived up to what I thought it would be so far. It took a couple of hours of driving to get used to the new flywheel, but it feels really good, every time I shift the clutch feels tight and precise. I've heard alot about people stalling with a light flywheel and the engine bogging down at idle when the A/C is on........nope not at all. The only difference from stock that I notice is that the engine is MUCH more responsive in the first 3 gears. This car is my daily driver and with these mods the drive is not more difficult, just alot more fun.

RedH22A1: Thanks, I got the Greddy header for $375 shipped from TurboEvo(Got the V-AFC from him too!!, Highly Recommended!!)

h22a193: I highly recommend all these mods('cept for the hi-flo cat if you live in a state with smog tests). The combination of the Header/Cat/Flywheel really uncorked this engine. Up to 3k rpm the engine feels like it has better throttle response. From 3k rpm up, it's a completely different beast, pulling harder than it used to. And from around 5k rpm, Hell Yeah!! The exhaust note through my Thermal R&D is louder now, a little raspy even, but the performance gains are worth it.

JDM Mike: Thanks I'll check them out!!

I plan on having my car dyno tuned mid December, I'll let you know how it turns out then......As far as the clutch, I have 115 miles more to go before I can get all crazy with it, I'll post how well the clutch holds then.........
