What to mod now?
I think I have run out of reasonably priced mods to do. Can someone look at my sig and see if there is anything else they can think of that I could do. Thanks.....

short shifter (manual?), maybe steelbraided brake lines, pads, etc., maybe a tranny cooler if its auto. i think you nailed pretty much everything else. i dont know how much a throttle body bore would be. theres always stickers

But what about the pads, I hear that EBC pads dust too much. I need the lowest dusting pads to keep my stock SE rims clean for more than a day or 2.

It's very noticeable. I have a feeling that it will be magnified with the addition of a y-pipe and a fresh, un-clogged cat. I think I would've noticed more if I already had a y-pipe. It should fly with a y-pipe, cat, ecu, cat-back, intake and the udp.

Is it true that you should get a chip after you are done doing all your mods? Or will it adjust to another mod I put on after the chip upgrade? A stock ECU will adjust, I don't see why an upgraded ECU won't. Thanks.

Maxmizd27....Dude, take your car to the track!! I'd like to know what your car runs man, considering you're about as modded as a VE auto can get without getting into the tranny work and head work, etc. Do it do it do it! Have you ever taken it to the track? I'm sure you're doing low low 15's at least...

You generally want to do your exhaust (at least a cat-back) and intake before an ecu. The ecu adjusts for the increased flow of air from the intake. I don't think it would make a major difference when you do a udp. You do want to disconnect your battery when adding a mod because that will re-set the ecu.
I got mine from Stillen, but way back when it only ran around $500. I bought it on a core charge which means they charged me $1,000, sent the new Jim Wolf ecu, I installed it, sent them my stock ecu back and they credited the other $500 core charge when they got mine. No down time. You can send yours and they send it out and return it to you, but then you're out of action for a few days.

JWT ECU upgrade
Does anybody know for sure if this gain will be better than the Y-pipe mod on a stock exhaust? I noticed some gain when I put on my Y-pipe. (maybe .3 or .4 off my 1/4 mile time...just a guess, until I run my car again) I just want to compare the increase in power to another mod I already have now, so I can get a good idea of what to expect. Thanks.

with the extra ecu, u can send that one in to be reprogrammed, while still having ur stock ecu to drive with, (well that was my plans before the rx7)
