Hotchef181818 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I typically hate posts like this but I've had a burning itch to do something new to the car after a 6 month hiatus. So far I've done pretty much what I wanted with the car and I think I know what's next put lets see what you guys think 2007 leg gt 5 sp limited. 95k miles, just had all fluids flushed except brakes, timing belt etc, and a cv boot replaced. Mods so far Sways Front control arm bushings Sts Tune Catless down Catback exhaust Iridium plugs Wheels/tires Tint Koni/epics So what do you guys think?

apexi Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Do you still have the original clutch installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Dagwood Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 bbk? additional underbody bracing? turbo upgrade (and supporting mods)? Or you could just pay for some of the stuff my car needs. that'd work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotchef181818 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Clutch was replaced at 30k under warranty, I'm nt sure what was put in but it's doing fine. Let's just say I had my first baby a few months ago so nothing crazy like a bbk. I am thinking something brake related is definately needed though. A new turbo is not in the cards unless I find play in my current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiot4hire Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Get better pads, bullet proof the tmic and call it a day. Right now your car is set up perfect in my opinion for good reliability and Daily driving. go autox it and enjoy it for many miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinlsb Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 You are very close to the timing belt replacement interval which is not cheap (1K$). A timing belt failure will DESTROY the motor. I would do the belt first. "Belief does not make truth. Evidence makes truth. And belief does not make evidence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotchef181818 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think I'm gonna order pads all the way around and maybe centric premium rotors for up front. Then I'll start looking around at tmic, it's been months since I've looked at them. I did inspect the stocker yesterday and had zero distortion in the tabs.

rob-2 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Honestly, learn to drive. That sounds harsh but some PDX and Autox will go a lot further then any other mod you can buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who mentioned I can't drive? Do you know me and my background or just playing Internet jockey? Can't a guy just be bored with his car and want to upgrade drivability and reliability without the Internet know-it-all coming out to play?

Suggesting putting money into more track days will make you quicker. Your car is already tastefully done. If you consistently put down good track times, more power is always an option as are track pads/rotor setup. Both will add lots of excitement. Not a know it all answer, but it's an answer based on all the details you posted. And yes, most, posters here with highly modded cars are slow drivers. Why? They've never been to the track. So based on your very limited inputs, I gave great feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
