Yea I ran it at Irwindale's 1/8th mile. Didn't really know what I was doing so I only ran around 9.1. Never burned out or launched properly. I'm not the racing type

Raceonusa vertex knockoff. I put on a 92 bumper for it cause I like it better than the 99 rear.

Other than that I have supra brakes, Tein CS, torsen LSD, etc.

It's pretty much where I want it performance wise
Taking the bulb off is not going to cut it knowing there is still CEL LoL..... You gotta take me out for a spin. I want to experience first hand the difference of one with TC and one without which is mine..... You have a nice set of mods there. Curious, how are your smog results? I want to do minor mods but at the same time don't want to affect my smog. Not that much anyway. I haven't seen an awesome smog result in a very long time till I owned my SC . Definitely on the list will be the TC and LSD. I'll save up on both and do them one weekend

haha for sure. I can hit you up when I get home for spring break. My car has CLEAN emissions. I forget the numbers but it's ridiculously low. The only thing that wouldn't pass visually is my headers, but no smog guy really goes out of his way to check em. And they're just silver, nothing flashy. Yea I like my LSD as well. Torsen makes a good LSD. My buddy has Kaaz and it's louuudd

Sweet.... Same here. My emissions are very low as well..... So would you say the Torsen LSD are better than Kaaz? I guess time to do research on that. I know PI Dragon TC are good but pretty pricey. I'm leaning towards Lextreme's TC at the moment. Labor work is not a problem as I can pretty much do all the installs myself

For everyday use I would say it's better. Simply because mine doesn't make noise. I don't know the advantages of either say.. on the track. That would probably have to be researched. I've heard some negative things about PI but I personally would give it a shot. I think those who have had a bad experience tend to use their cars on a performance level. I remember there were plenty of threads in the Performance section covering the pros and cons of both

Yeah, i've been reading about various threads about TCs. There is probably no chance that I would track the car. I'd like to have one just to be able to maneuver through traffic quickly when I need to. Right now it just seems like there is no power when you give it some gas.

My car, thanks for asking, needs some body work thanks to a stupid lady in a Grand Cherokee. I have enough $$$ right now, I'm going to debadge, install another OEM bumper, and get the dent filled in less than a week. I got some 5Zigen Fireballs brand new but I'm going to trade for Nur Specs instead.


You have a Dragon???... you don't need the SRT Intake really. Your going to blow the doors off anything out there, sell it to me

You should invest in a shift kit. Stevechumo was talking to me about it. Shaves 1/2 a sec off. It costs around $600

Will look into it... By the way, what is the gear on your LSD? I've been doing some reading. The one I saw here on CL was something like 3.76 and the one I was just reading at work over at Lextreme's website was 4.27. The guy claims that its better than 3.76. I'm still reading the pros and cons bettwen the two tho.

Got a link on that shift kit? I'll read about it and see whats up.
