I Just installed the TRD SS and have ordered the TRD Exhaust (hopefully will be here soon), and I'm going to order an Injen short intake. I have about $200 left for mods. What would you think would be a good investment??? Thanks for and all the help.

Thanks for the info. I did not know they were that cheap. I do not know if I want to lower my car since I live in Wyoming with the weather and streets are not that good. But I might have to since I want my car to look diff. then most.

springs are good. go with those thumbsup
but expect to pay another 60$ u.s. (not sure if its the same price down in the states) or so for an alignment once your springs are installed.

Thanks for the advise and help. I was going to put the Injen CAI on, but I'm scared with all the traveling I do. I also hope to get back over to Germany and my friend had bad luck with his CAI over there.

yea go with a cai, its really hard to hydrolock your car, *knock on wood* basically your whole filter has to be submerged. wit 160 bucks i would save it and save up for the sways, buck for buck its one of the best mods you can get

Definitely get a CAI instead of short ram, it's so much better. That raised hoodscoop is pretty sweet, but sway bars are definitely a good choice. If you want a pretty cheap mod on the side, about 80 bucks or so, you could get the AEM Tru-power pulley kit. I have one on mine, I heard it adds about 8 more horsepower. I saw a difference after I installed it, well, good luck man.

The AEM pulley is not bad at all. Well, not to my knowledge at least. I have one, it gives you better throttle response and it looks good under the hood...
i don't know about adding hp though, how could it possibly do that?

The AEM pulleys work pretty good for me, I have a 2002 GTS 6-speed, it does give better throttle response. The reason it adds horsepower is because it actually changes the diameter of the alternator pulley, which in a really complicated explanation allows the car to produce more horsepower, if you want to read more about it go to www.aempower.com [aempower.com] and click on the link for pulleys. The only bad thing I "heard" (can't say if it is true or not) but somebody once told me that with this new pulley in the engine, I wouldn't be able to have a big and loud sound syatem in my car...which I don't really need anyways, I'm all about the speed baby. It wouldn't matter to me if I was doing 140 mph with the music pumping or no music at all, it's the rush that really matters. Man, I can't wait to get my turbo. Hope that helps guys, and I do apoligize, I did get a little carried away at the end there, but I am still getting a turbo...no doubt. Peace

In short doc is saying that the enlarged pullys require less energy to turn.

More distance less energy = Less distance more energy.

doing the same amount of work over more distance requires less work.

W=FD Work=Force(Distance)
