xeet, what mods are you preparing to you after suspension,
wheels and debadging,
I think Toms already have front and rear lower chasis, suspension links and the whole nine yard to stiffen your ride.
Are you doing sways too?

how about exhaust.....are you doing that too?

how far will you take your SC, VIP style?

how about stereo? any stereo mods for you?

bodykits? any idea which one you want?

Right now on the car:
- SSR GT3 19" (8.5" in front, 10.5" in back) with Falken Potenzas.
- Tein Type CS coilovers.
- No badges. (Except for the one on the back.)

Honestly these are the things that will be purchased when they become available (in order):
- Blitz Supercharger kit
- Brembo Gran Turismo kit (14" rotors, Silver finish) front and back.
- Clear turn signal lenses.

These are the things that are being looked into for the next mod (in order):
- Tint (Need to decide on a percentage!)
- Tom's exhaust
- Sway bars (Torsion bars)

No stereo mods! Damn, have you heard that thing?! It's perfect!

Thought about doing the Tom's sideskirts, with AutoCouture or Wald front and back. That's was before the coilovers were put on. This car dosen't need a bodykit now!

Anyway I am going to keep everyone informed if they like it or not!

I think the SC system might sound better given its smaller space.
Is it the same stereo set up as in the GS's ML premium??
i relocated the tweeter close to the mids, upgraded the speakers to focal utopia line and ampliers to macintosh..with crystal line signal enhancors, better speaker wires, one gauge power wire....etc,

I was going to finish up with the ALpine F1 headunit and velodyne subs..but now I am selling the car and getting an SC..

all I can say is, the sound is EVEN better than stock...the few stereo mods that I put on made the sound a bit clearer when you turn the volume down...and even when I turn the volume up up, the sound remain clear....

Type CS might be a bit too soft for me..I have TIEN HA on the GS and I like it a lot...TYPE CS is a lot softer I heard..and ..expensive..

is the toms exhaust are cat back?? I cant tell at all from the picture...why dont you try the blitz exhaust? from its website it seems to me it that the blitz exhaust has nice round exhaust tips filling the rear bumper...the Toms on the other hand seems to have smaller tip, do you know how big the toms tips are? if you ever go the supercharger route, I Think you might need a cat back exhaust to have the full effect..

I have not heard of Torsion bar, is that the company name?
sway bar..hmm..where JDM Brands are available now?

also, I woud like to put strut tower bars on, change out lower chasis and all...if you ahve lower you car, and stiffen up the suspension, you would want some support from the STB and tighten up the chasis..

dude, you really gotta go to future shop and get a digit cam ..

I just cant wait to see you dropped SC!!! tried 2.5 inch since you dont have the huge exhaust on the way!

I can totally picture riding in that car must feel a whole lot different..
it is more personal, meaner, and better control..

honestly, my parents never like modding cars..cus they dont do much other than rims..but I think they dont mind me modding cars anymore as long as I get it from the most reliable products..so, no ricer products for me..and part of the reason they dont like me modding it cus they said it is too cocky....
after years of not getting keyed, they realize their worries are a non issue.

Default geez guys...

I didn't expect to see this type of petty attacks on the clublexus board (as it is an expected normal occurance at Honda boards) but I guess these things happen.


Anyway, back to the main topic...


I'd love to hear the end result from that first Blitz Supercharger install! ...sounds like a fantastic mod to do!

Well, I'm going to put a trailer hitch on mine, so I can carry my long-wheelbase recumbent bicycle arched waaaayyy up over the open top...

oh, that's not the kind of mod you're looking for...

Default Hey XeetBMW330ci!

Do your new Tein CS Coilovers have a porpoise effect at high speeds?
