Newish, but still uninformed

[Silky87]

Hey guys,
I've posted on here before about my car and what some of the things that are done to it but am wondering what else I can or should do.
I have a 98 RS
skunk2 coilovers
dc headers
dc sports muffler just purchased
aem intake
6k HID
sitting on 17s which I think are a little to big
pioneer deck with 2 kicker cvr 12s in the trunk

what else should I do for performance?

Thanks

Would be nice to get in touch with some cen cal teg owners in my area too.

The valve cover needs to be repainted but you defiently have a good start with this teg

 

[Silky87]

Yeah, just replaced the front end and radiator twice after rear ending someone. So it is still kinda tweaked but looks better than it did. The valve cover can just be taken off and painted easily?
Also got 5% on the back three windows.

The wheels look nice on there. 17's don't look bad with a drop.

 

[Silky87]

Thanks. Is it easy to remove and replace the cover? Should I get a new valve cover gasket?

 

[cody1018]

It would be a good idea, when you re-do the VC replace the gaskets for it.

Nice DC! What section of performance are you wanting to improve? Power, suspension, aero, etc.

 

[Silky87]

Thanks!
Power first off, and just raise it back up a little so I don't have such bad inside wear on the front tires. Maybe a spoiler, not sure if I want one yet tho.

First thing I would do is remove that stupid doll hanging from the rear tow hook, but that is because I am bias against the "jdm" style.

Now that I got that out out of the way, what are the plans for this car? I assume it is just your DD and nothing more? And when you said you want to upgrade power first, what are you looking to be at power wise? Is there a goal and budget in mind?

LOL

I think just a little boost in power, not much. I was used to my G35 and loved the power I had in that. Just so I don't get smoked when I TRY to race another teg.
$1,000 or less right now.

Well, then I think the simple answer is to go LS vtec. However, I assume you are trying to stay smog legal. Which gives another obstacle. Depends on what you are trying to do. You can easily slap a vtec head on it and tune for less than 1k if you spend your money right. There is a lot of little purchases though that can add up if you aren't careful. If you just wanna stay LS, then really you are limited as far as power goes. Same goes for staying smog legal, it limits you a lot.
