YEEEEEEEEEEEEJHHHAAAAAA, finally re-enlistment bonus post What should I get for my TC

Hey,



Finally I get the money the Navy owed me!!!!!! Now I just need to figure out what I need to order. Any suggestions. I have Boost Piping from Clear Image, Intake from Dejon Powerhouse and a Psychotuned ECM waiting at my house in Hawaii. I'm currently in Moorestown New Jersey for Aegis Training. Anyone around here have a TC? I want to hang out with you guys! Anyways, just let me know what I should get. Thanks

Here's a list I'd consider:

Hahn intercooler
new tires
powdercoating rims
tint
going wingless
projectors/HIDs
exhaust

Don't go wingless man! I know it's the big thing to do but the SS/TC like has to have the high rise IMO, haha.

NO wing deletes for me.


I got 75,000. If I want to do a turbo swap, I can, but for now I'm going to wait for dyno's and however many kits are going to come out for me to decide.



This is what I have ordered so far:

HID kit

Clear Image Boost Piping ON ITS WAY TO MY HOUSE in 2 days

Hahn 3" exhaust

Dejon SRI INSTALLED( sending back for the flange)

Hahn Intercooler

Dejon BOV spring upgrade

Nittos INVO

Synapse Catless Downpipe

Psychotuned ECM ON HAND(going to the dealership for the clutch relearn)

Spec 3+ w/flywheel

Quife LSD(that what I get for getting the floor model)

Driveshaft 400hp axles

Eibach struts (or should I get coilovers?)

Eibach Sportline lowering springs INSTALLED

GM Hood Underliner SS logo INSTALLED



Looking at for turbo swaps:


Synapse Ecotecnik kit


Hahn's future kits

BTF racing kits


One of the first things I did was tint my car, 35%. As for powdercoats I don't know if I could do black with my sport tint red. Just throwing this out there, could someone photoshop gold rims on to my car?? I would like to see how that would look. Is that to out there? well throw the idea's out guys, help me build this car so I can kill my buddies. One has a 135i and the other has a EVO. The evo I took on from a dig and well you know that outcome, kinda salty about that but the 135i is who I really want to show up. he talks so much **** and always calls my car a excuse for a new cavalier, lol. Hit me up ppl!


PS: Tell me about it, this island is ******* tiny and we have a total of 3 highways for which one is used at 2am for racing lol. Oh, and its my pleasure to serve OUR country.


Any guys in here in Jersey? I'm here this whole week for training and wanted to see if I could meet up with some of you guys.

Its the VAC line? going to the stock airbox. Well when I got the Dejon SRI I also got the option to have that line removed and replaced with a tiny K&N filter. Well it turns out that its next to impossible to get that bitch off from the back of the engine. So I called Dave at Dejon and I'm going to be sending the intake back to have the a flange welded on for the line so I can just connect it to the intake. Dave mentioned that the line has a check valve that will not leak oil like though so the line being removed and the tiny K&N filter is not needed.

Save your money, cause you will need it if you dont make the military a life career choice..... But if you dont want to save buy a bigger turbo.

THe LNF can take a lot with stock internals, its the turboswap and trying to push for lets say 500hp that you would need some heavy duty ****.

Ok, don't mean to be the first basher, but from one military guy to another:

1> thanks for renlisting

2> 75K? Why in the HELL is your project a FWD cobalt?

3> Get a RWD/AWD anything (Anything with an LS1 or LS2, 350z, Evo, STi, Supra.....the list goes on) and then mod the **** out of it, you'll be so much happier. With that kind of money you can really do some damage on the street.

4> You'll be looking at 11's or 10's depending on how far you go and you won't have near the trouble with traction or 60'
