power extreme II from GCG is a good start on the exhaust, nice note without being loud. Decent return Floe inter-cooler is a must too as the std one is shouse.

Body kit well... there is about 11billion variations. post a pic of what you want and i can give you details of people in the business (we used to supply alot of kits to distributors).

Rims... well again it comes down to taste, some nice offset rims in 18" look the best, s15 are a bit lacking in room in the rear but a 9.5" will fit in a decent offset and 9" on the front no worries.

A factory Spec R with a decent stance and a set of wheels would look better then a body kitted one, but depends on what body kit you get...

Get a set of decent coil overs (fully adjustable suspension)

As Trent said, a decent set of 18 x 9 / 18 x 9.5" should look flush for fitment.

A quality made "oval" shape muffler should keep the noise down.

Hi, thanks so much for replying me that quick..

en i think i better leave exhaust for a while... as i can only do few things at a time..

this car has already got a ---i think is a aero skirt on it....so i assume, i will just get a front and rear bumper.. matching or not matching, as long looks good...

so do you know some place that i can go their web or site view?

regards to rims and tyers, this car is gun metal color,, so i would prefer Black wheels?

if pick 18" -9".. what tyers will be? 225/40 or 245?

Thanks again

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
