i understand that but i was hoping to get some ideas from others
that i havent thought of or looked over

new subframe bushings, suspension links, coilovers, lsd, steering rack + tie rods/ends

edit: we seem to be polar opposites because i cant think of what NOT to upgrade on my car, and I've had it for 3+ years.

on 240's you might as well change everything lol.

Honestly when i want to look for new items to buy i just click on random sponsors at the top right of every zilvia page and go through their entire inventory just to see what they have. Alot of shops have custom items or items another shop wont have so its always itneresting to see those cool parts you never heard of.

i would agree with subframe/drivetrain/suspension mods... but whats your budget? what do you want to do??? kinda vague question

What are you trying to do with the car?

Does it have stock suspension? or are you just asking for advice on the next direction with Engine Mods?

What injectors do you have? I hope not stock...

Also you need to get an EMS if you are already at the 2871R size...that's a must...your life will be easier in the end and the car will be faster...even with just a basic re-done timing map to match your current setup alone...much smoother and Violent acceleration

how about a 5 speed swap

not interested in the 5 speed i love the lloks i get when i explain its an auto pluss everyone has done that and the auto is awsome for drag. it has stock suspension shocks and struts are fairly new everything else seems in good condition.
and yes i was looking more for engine mods
has anyone done water/ethonal injection? ive seen some dsm that have had it bot not an sr.
i guess injectors and ems would be logical
i live at 6000ft in elevation so i dont think its dangerous to run 10 psi seeing how the air is thinner (havent felt fuel cut anyway).
