    Yeah I have full 3" turboback exhaust, stage 2 tuning from APR, and an intake... Waiting until the summer to upgrade the fuel pump. B&G RS2 coilovers (adjustable body and perches), and some random interior things like a Pioneer AVIC-D3.

    nice! i bet that thing handles like it's on rails with coils...

    so, why the need for upgraded fuel pump? are you running out of fuel up top?

    Yeah I have fuel cuts every now and then. My tuning company also offers upgraded tuning for an upgraded pump that nets about another 30 hp/tq...

    AKA even more wheelspin haha.

    wheel spin in front wheel drive cars ftl... though, you could drift it in reverse! so, with your existing mods..what kind of power are you putting down at the wheel?

    I was pretty disappointed the last time I got dyno'd, it was 104 degrees in the shop and my car put down 231 hp and 280 ft./lbs.

    Welcome and nice ride too.

    How well do you know the guys at APR? I have a friend that works on their pit crew.
