im getting really bored with the tc. i wanna mod it sooo bad but theres barley sh*t to do to it. i have the dejon spring upgrade ready to be installed. (can somebody tell me whats the purpose for that)

i wanna powder coat my rims i know for sure. can someone tell me a pplace that does that services. (in hoouston, texas)

i was gonna add a dp but ima wait til modernperformance gets the catted dp.

can someone tell me something i can do to the tc thanks lol

 

stereo upgrade woot!

 

give it to me........u can take my LT and ull have plenty to mod

 

Bigger snail. Start making power with that, it has potential we have all seen it.

 

charge piping, meth injection, short throw, hood, theres the cia catted dp, intercooler upgrade, headlights with hids......just a couple things off the top of my head

 

50 trim (5457B) ftw. With Dejon's kit and a good tune you'll be right around 400WHP and 400WTQ...about the max we can push with these cars until someone figures out a way around the injector timing issue above 7K RPM.

 

intake, charge piping, DP, catback, upper engine mounts, tranny mounts, Subs, Springs, Tint, Tune or stage kit, short throw shifter, intercooler....

 

coilovers, intercooler, piping, dp, sway bar, engine mount, cf hood, trunk, stereo, bigger sub, race seats, turbo swap, nitrious, meth, and sts.

 

See this guy uses his imagination lol

There's so much to do with these bloody cars it's not even funny. Just with my HHR SS alone I found a good way of spending 10 grand (god forbid I ever spend that much money) and there's more stuff being developed as we speak. Just need to shop around.

 

Get a BOV

 

Ask liquid nightmare?

 

I don't think I can ever bored with my TC

 

10 grand on just one upgrade or several?

 

Clearly you have not been looking too hard if you are bored already...you can always do cosmetic and stereo stuff, but if you want power here is a 3 step process you can use so that you never get bored with this thing....just choose whichever you have the budget and ***** for...

Step 1: Get a Tune
Step 2: Get a Tune, Drag Radials, Full Exhaust, IC Piping, etc. (Every bolt on possible)
Step 3: Get a Tune, Full Turbo swap, full exhaust, Racing slicks, rollcage, weight reduction, upgrade pistions, fuel system, transmission upgrade, clutch upgrade, axle upgrade (Go ***** to the wall and get the thing in the 10's)

If you are still bored by phase 3, you need to get another hobby

 

Once HP tuners is able to unlock the fuel pressure tables (Crosses fingers) we can tune for more pressure close to 3000 psi instead of 2100 psi. 30% more fuel will mean no more running out of injection window on the big turbo cars ( within reason ). We will be able to support 500+ whp and still get proper fuel atomization.

 

The spring is/was mainly for the sound. There are some threads popping up about the possible long term effects of having it installed now though. Something to do with the possibility of flutter of the turbo during mild throttle use. The spring actually helped me in a few aspects, but I got my IC on the day before, so I don't know for sure now that it's not just the IC.

If you find a good place for powdercoating wheels, let me know. I've been looking for one myself in the Houston area.

I'm waiting on Modern Performance for a catted dp too.

Seems that we're kinda waiting on some of the same things. How much (ballpark is fine) did you spend on getting your windows tinted? Did they do a pretty good job?

 

If you haven't yet, try:

Driver mod is probably the best.

 

And it follows you from car to car.

 

buy a new turbo, cuz that 10 dollar spring will ruin your bearings

 

modernperformance just got the dp with cat in today. i was gonna go get it but they closed at 6 so ima get the dp wit no cat in the morning. a place called hurricane glass 45 by almeda did my tint for 110 plus lifetime warranty. they did a good job

i wanna get meth injection but not sure how it works.
and i thought the tc came wit a short throw.

i kno im getting my dp in the morning and another tune friday. im happy

 

i just wanna eliminate my wheel hop so i dont have to worry about snappin axles at the track

 

How about this:

60 trim snail
hot and cold side piping
bigger fmic
catless dp and full 3" exhaust
one badazz tune

get some valve springs and rev that ***** past 7500 rpm.

You shouldn't have that problem with your car. I can't speak from experience though cause I have not driven a TC. My car has virtually none now with just the Ingalls. maybe you could invest in one of those because the TC's have a lot less wheel hop than us SC guys.

 

Or you can have your girl ride Your balts Shifter......
