There are members here that can help you maximize your current set up, or help you go in the right direction regardless of how you plan to make more power. All you have to do is ask.

I hope you find this place both informative and entertaining.

Oh I will! It seems like it will be a great forum for someone like me.

Anyways about my set up. I think my car is fast! I'm faster than my friends RX-8 so I'm pretty happy about that. I'm almost thinking about keeping it N/A and only doing a exhintake and megasquirting it. But mostly now I will focus on suspension. I'm going to get ebay coil sleeves and put on QA1(summit brand?) racing springs 2.5 by 7(is that good if I wanted give it a little "flush") and use 400 and 300 (250?) in rear. I need to do some more research on it. I would really like to do a detail DIY on using ebay sleeves. Then for rims I'm looking at the TRMotorsport C1M. Tires I'm not sure of. THEN I will go turbo! Probably a BEGI chinacharger or SR20 DIY.

is that video a drift event or autocross? Was it near Charleston. We should meet up sometime. I live downtown and see your car on the connector from time to time.

The amount of control you demonstrated in the video was impressive. I would have driven that car right into a pole if I was there.
