well I noticed only the top video works... need to fix it

Thanx to my GF for putting up with me and filming this for me, the road isn't the smoothest road in the world and with my stiff suspension its hard to keep the camera steady, the clunking noise ya hear over bumps is my brake pads slappn against the caliper- my hardware kit hasn't arrived in time for this video making.

Stillen supercharger kit is $3,955 as you know. You can expect to be well over $5K once you pay someone to do the install for you. It is irresponsible to put S/C, turbo or nitrous on a car with stock tires and suspension. You WILL find yourself driving fast, and you WILL be a danger to yourself and those around you.

Do good tires and suspension first, then y-pipe and cold air intake. If you feel like spending $5K after that, go for the S/C or turbo. With the auto tranny, it might be smart to just do a wet shot of nitrous instead and stop modding, so you can start saving for the next car you will need.

The next car you'll need will be a 2007 Infiniti Skyline GT-R. I read in a car mag, that Nissan will introduce a G35 coupe in late 2006 with AWD and twin turbos, pushing >400 HP, named the Skyline GT-R like the G35 is currently badged in Japan.

I will also need this car, but I expect it will be big cabbage. Kind of like a 300zxTT, but a decade or so newer. And with a few mods.....

You beat on your car way too much.
