Alright guys, 2005 is almost gone. That year for me was quite "important" because I got the Trix in august (no Trix, no Genvibe and no MO). Basically I invested in coilovers and a nice set of lightweight rims. Those two things were my main expenses for 2005.Now that 2006 is almost here, what are your planned mods for the year? Mine: Hass turbo kit.
Can't wait to see what you get out of your "dual" set-up Called once for a custom header and was quoted about 900$ can... A little too much for a few hp. Do you have any guesstimate for you in the US?
I was quoted $300-$400. But I think I will be able to get it down a little lower because I will be supplying the header flange and and exhaust/downpipe flange that I found on this site: http://www.ppeengineering.com/DIYSexhaust.htmI'm also considering a Throttle Body bore from http://www.maxbore.com as well. We'll see.

'14 Lincoln MXZ AWD 2.0 Turbo
'14 Nissan Pathfinder AWD SL
'05 Pontiac Vibe AWD
Are you going to have your intake manifold done at the same time? Too bad dyno time is so expensive or we could have had the "before and after" whp of those two mods together...Keep us informed of your "(removed) dyno" experience.
I just put on a Magnaflow exhaust, red Cosmo CAI, dual red Fiamm horns, carbon fiber sill decals, Vibe decals over airbag warnings, red engine cover letter overlays, metallic black badge overlays, custom inside brake light decal "Raven", stubby antenna and I have 17" Motegi DP-5 rims in Gunmetal and Falken FK451 225/45/17 tires ready for spring. For 2006, all I need is a Progress sway bar and Tein S-Tech or SS Coilovers, if I can afford them.
lift controller, camcon, canuck motorsports springs, hondata gasket, aem pulleywould also like to bore the tb and port the intake and exhaust headers....but i dont wanna get ahead of myself....
Well I guess my planned mod for 2006 didn't take too long to happen.Just ordered the kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now 4 weeks to wait to get it build.

Un peu tard dans ma reponse, non j'ai pas de garage a moi mais quand je travaille sur ma voiture, je le fais au "stealership" que je travaille. Unfortunatly, employee only...De toute facon, Sam semble avoir acces a un garage, on pourrait-tous s'y retrouver. BTW, as-tu installe tes bushing de shifter???
Anywhere!!! Usually with those things, there is always somebody coming through with a place and this time it was Sam. I don't mind going to MTL if you have a few mods to install (or anybody else for that matter).Nice looking hood there on Ebay. The guy seems to have a few for sale and accept local pick up too (MTL). Good deal.
