Haha for sure. Yeah, I found this board around the time I bought the car (two years ago), but I really haven't had the chance to start any modding until recently, and I basically immediately determined that I'm waiting for summer and buying a manual GS. Mine is an auto Looks pretty but sooo slow. Anyways hopefully I'll be able to make it to the IL 2gnt meet whenever it happens. I live in the NW suburbs of chi-town, bout 45 minutes out.
Turbo the bitch and swap 5 speed. My car is pretty but has automatic but when I turbo'd it it felt so much better. Next is 5 speed swap. Probably when I get stationed somewhere that I don't need my car then I will send it to somewhere like concept illusions and have them do it.
I've considered that sooo many times, and to be honest I'm still torn between what to do.
I know that turbocharging my auto and then swapping a 5spd would end up costing me a pretty penny on a car that, by that time, would probably have close to 100k miles. I really want to do this in one side of my head, because my car's exterior is practically mint and overall it just looks great and I'm in love with it. Plus its my daily driver for now. So my alternate plan is to keep this car as my daily driver and cruise car (its awesome, I always get complements on the color(red) and the tires), and buy a manual eclipse for dirt cheap and then turbo it, figure save me some headache and money in the long run, and ensure I don't get any downtime when I screw something up
