Welcome! One of the easiest and cheapest mods you can do is the airbox mod. Install a high flow air filter and take the bottom of the airbox off. Makes it like a cold air intake. Otherwise I would visit zzperformance and invest in a stage 2 or 3 kit. Best bang for the buck.

Woody, they are 18's. I have a spare SC stock intake with K&N filter if any of that interests you at all. Garret scoop that deal regardless of rubber! Would look so sexy on your car!

There's still shipping, duties, brokerage ect on top of that. But I still get where you are coming from. The rubber is still worth something even though I know you don't want it. But it's really not worth parting with. Make Troy an offer

He contacted me and said Winnipeg folk have first dibs do If your worried about him selling parts I think we're good. He seems really busy.

I am awaiting prices too!

19's are going to eat up some of your track/street racing speeds though...if anything go 17's

bigger wheel size means more rotational mass and more distance to cover then a smaller size...just sayin

im also looking for an aem wideband if someone has one they want to part with

Sorry man, won't be parting them, don't have a way of taking off the tires. The price is already pretty cheap IMO

Wagner welcome. I concur going with the ZZP stg 2 or 3 is your best bet, bang for buck wise. I have the stg 3 and love it.

As for the discussion on rotational mass. I recently saw an article in a mag with math figures, long story short. For every lb of rotational mass removed is supposedly equal to near 20 lbs of dead weight. Now is this right. I am not sure alot of debate about it. But at the end of the day losing weight is always a good thing.

I don't have any false dillusions of myself actually being a Winnipeger...
Sure I'm from there...
Sure I go there at least once a year...
But I've lived most of my life out here.

Garret those rims are sick.

Troy, I may be interested in the rims and tires, where ill come up with the cash to buy them is beyond me.

Thinking i could probably part with my rims for 400-450, leaving me with 150 for the same rims with more tire lol
