what to buy with 1k?
 
i know these are annoying but im asking anyways lol
my wife said i can spend 1k of our tax return on parts. my sig is what i have.
i was thinking...
steedspeed ex mani (or cp-e if it comes out in this decade)
FP
trz driverside mount
meth

idk what combination yet, but those are what i was thinking. really wanting a ex mani. and thinking i need a FP cuz ill be pretty much bolted. meth would be good for some xtra hp's and piece of mind. side mount cuz with my mods now i can feel all the flex when i floor it. i have the trz rmm, and really dont wanna pay 200+ for the cp-e.

would be nice if anyone had a review of the trz driver mount. searched but nothing showed up.

thanks guys

Fuel pump, either KMD v2.1 kit or the CP-E pre-assembled pump

You are playing russian roulette with your engine by having that many bolt-ons and no pump upgrade

Well you def need the FP, i would say to get the meth. And maybe a protune?

bombdotcom 02-03-2011 10:00 PM

totally agree with the FP. just sucks about the protune cuz i was 45 mins from the new cobb so cal shop, but i have pcs orders to Bragg. idk of any shops around here. even worse i dont have a garage or anything to work on the car.

I have the TRZ transmission mount. Thing is solid. You'll hear everything known to man with that thing on. Paired with the cp-e rear motor mount (75) the vibes have been greatly reduced from that of the TRZ rear that I had.

I'm on tapatalk, so I can't see your mods, but it definitely sounds as though a fuel pump is in need. You could pick up the cp-e pump and the TRZ mount and you'll be under your budget.

Im getting bout 1500 back and paying off and closing my credit card lol then see what's left....but I say do something about ur FP. A few of my buddies are using the APR FP internals....2000k miles and no issues plus it was alot cheaper then a whole pump....$300...took a little skill to install though

Sell the car and take that money plus the 1 grand and buy yourself a 5.0

Nataphen 02-03-2011 10:32 PM

With $1000, you should buy a CPE pump for me. I would love you forever. :kiss:

Definitely get a fuel pump IMO.

08.5MS3 02-03-2011 10:34 PM

What's with everyone and these damn 5.0's?

Everyone and their fucking grandmother is going to have one. I don't know, just seems like the easy way out to me....

Fuel Pump

FP and save the rest. Be Smart.

bombdotcom 02-03-2011 11:24 PM

well im getiting 11k back so i got plenty to save. prolly pay off the car too. honestly i would never get the cp-e pump. way overpriced in my opinion. i would either get the kmd or awe. thanks for the input.

kinda got me concerned about all the vibes with the driverside mount with the trz rmm. i think i have the delrin duro. already have enought vibes. we'll see.

meth would be good i think, just gotta find a good how to.

i got the cp-e pump.. lifetime warrenty, and the one that has considerably less failure rate than the rest.. my first set of kmd was a failure, replaced a piece and it failed.. so i just went cp-e

thats really good to know. something to really consider. thanks

Grab the cp-e RMM (75) and the TRZ tranny mount. Sell your TRZ RMM. You'll be happy. A lot less vibes.

Nataphen 02-03-2011 11:31 PM

I have the CPE 75 and it's not bad at all. i'm sure it will be much worse when i get the SMMs soon though.
