Help Me Decide A Winter/Spring Project
Most of you know what my car is and what is done to it. But here is what I have.
98 Spyder
Built 2.4l
AWD
20G
650 injectors
Magnus
Yada yada yada
Here is what Im thinking of doing(not all just a couple or one):
Ksports or Tein Flex coilovers
Roll cage
Shep tranny(dont know if mine is good yet)
Bigger injectors
Bigger Turbo
Short Rout FMIC
Interior stuff(black)
I dont know what else I could do. Anyone else have any ideas? Or tell me which of the top ones you would do in my case.

Re: Help Me Decide A Winter/Spring Project
Rollcage in a spyder would be so hot, words couldn't describe it.
Rollcage and coilovers.

Re: Help Me Decide A Winter/Spring Project
Don't do the roll cage thing just yet. I don't think that would be worth it in a spyder unless it really becomes more of a track car. If that's the case, the spyder was obviously (in my eyes) a bad starting point. Suspension & a transmission will be two things you'll LOVE with driving it often.

Re: Help Me Decide A Winter/Spring Project
From what I've read over the years about Spyders, you're going to want to engineer some chassis stiffening or your car is going to get very "loose" as you increase power.

I say bigger turbo, injectors, and coilovers.

Re: Help Me Decide A Winter/Spring Project
Do the interior stuff up how you want it and drive it for a while, work out the bugs, and save up for one big ticket item like some big awesome wheels.

Re: Help Me Decide A Winter/Spring Project
I would check out the tranny and see how it shifts. No point in making it faster if you can't get it into gear!

Re: Help Me Decide A Winter/Spring Project
The deal with the tranny is that it shifts fine but I havent shifted above 4000 RPM. So it might grind in higher RPMs.
