or maybe get a really sweet car tuning system, like a EU and a good in-dash carputer. 'course you need to be boosted really to make use of that.

Hmm I thought about boost but I still have ALOT to learn about it. A RMT does sound good though.

I didnt know he did swaps. I'll try to contact him about it. Its a hike to boston but I've been wanting to visit there anyway. If I can find someone to teach me how to drive a 5 speed I'll consider it. I've never driven one in my life haha.

I think you should get some rims because your car is already kinda quick just make it look good...unless you just want performance...but a fast car that also look nice is where itz @ trust...plus you should have some money left ova...

Yeah I redid my whole entertainment system last year which is one reason i slowed down the modding of the max. I got a 46 inch Sony Bravia LCD, Sony suround sound, PS3, Wii and a bunch more stuff so its back to the max.

I think Im going to get the rest of my kit and get it painted. I never really wanted rims on the max a set of clean sawblades always did it for me.

not really true. the EU can be very useful in the right hands with the right mods IE 00VI

when i had my EU hooked up i dont remeber how much timing i had added but one day i decided to go back to the stock timing and holy crap i could deffently feel the diffrence. IMO the 00vi isnt nothing unless you have a 7k rev with some added timing and a good tune

LOL I'm actually looking for another one myself. I did start looking around for a b-pipe it might be low on the list to do though. Already ordered a bumper. I'm hoping to find some stillen sides and rears for a good price.
