XRDRIFT Member 143 Member For: 18y 7m 5d Gender: Male Location: Liverpool, Sydney NSW Posted 11/08/06 10:28 AM Author Share Posted 11/08/06 10:28 AM Thnx guys, my confusion and questions solved. True on the T5, all the mods are long term process but edit and exhuast are the 2 first things, also when I meant custom cooler, I meant to say just a fatter, thicker one that will bolt straight up to existing pipework without mods. Mr Enforcer does all my work and he uses PWR cores. But the T56 conversion is the first big dollar conversion that will be undertaken before all the rest of the mods will be carried out.The standard clutch is sweet and I think it may have been replaced sometime ago as it grips/clamps hard, I've done a few hard launches in it and no stinky smells or fade. But its all a matter of time and dollars before my goal is reached, that's not even the wheels/suspension/bodykit/paintwork/stereo to mention.....The "t" was meant to be pimped out....wheres XIBIT with pimp my ride, pimp my "t" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 11/08/06 10:30 AM Share Posted 11/08/06 10:30 AM (edited) and exhuast are the 2 first thingsLeave the factory exhaust alone... it will make good power, all I have changed on my car is the cat, factory dump pipe and the rest of the factory system is still in place... other than the cat the only performance mods I have done to get over 300rwkw is Nizpro injectors and Nizpro valve springs and of course the edit...Your money is far better spent elsewhere than on an exhaust at the minute!!Jack Edited 11/08/06 10:32 AM by XR6T8_U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might hold off on the dump pipe as Im gona have pretty much the same setup as WHPLSH. So I'll invest in a decent cat.So the 2 mods I should only undertake with the T5 is1. CAPA Edit2. Good flowing catThat should equate to enough fun..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good flowing catThat should equate to enough fun.....I don't know of the car WHPLSH... just for now, if you aren't going to get injectors and valve springs at the same time I would hold off on the cat... just get the edit first and see how you go with that... then reassess after where you want to go with the car, knowing that you still have the T5 in place... If I had my time again I think I would've waited until I had enough money to get a dump pipe to go along with the cat... so that is something else to think about...Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one is any the wiser, for all intents and purposes visually it is impossible to tell that you have done anything to your car.For the record... I keep my CAPA flash box on the floor of my car behind the back seat... Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
