No horsepowers intended.

i was going to get a full set of Superpro suspension and cradle bushes. But I just got back from Fulcrum (because I missed the tech night there) and other than a loose top bolt on the drivers side rear strut top, all my bushes are good.....they were quite surprised, and I can spend $580 elsewhere :)

So now that my plan has changed. I'm not sure what exactly to get, but this is my list so far.

Hicas locking bar

Center caps for wheels

Wrap or plastidip center console inside.

New video card and mousepad (already paid for and installed)

new front rotors and pads...finally get rid of that annoying and increasingly ear piercing squeak.

New front speakers.

Brake fluids replaced and new ABS module (if I can find one for a reasonable price)

Booze for origin tonight
Jim Richards dinner tomorrow night.

Get my exhaust lifted up higher under the car.

and If cash permits Either build a new computer (only need CPU, MoBo, RAM, and cooler) or swaybars.

None of this involves an ECU and tune...I think you have missed something.

Hicas locking bar

Bodo, if your considering a hicas lock bar. This might be worth a look... A full eliminator kit, i got this on my car and find is absolutely awesome. Car feels s much more connected to the road etc. But i have not driven a car with Lock Bar only so not sure of comparison. I was pushed towards this kit instead of the bar only

Sweet! bright orange, can you see it under the car at all?

this is the one I was going to get. As it saved having to replace the hicas tierod ends.

But seeing as everything is fine under there, I'm just gonna stick with getting the regular old locking bar. as there is a big price difference.

Yes, orange is very visible under the car

:/ I'd avoid then unless cop attention is what one is chasing. Apparently new laws coming out and they might be trying to get us for lots more srupid little things.

    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
