PIMP MY RS
Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 2:35 am
Alright. After major considerations and the failed attempt to put that catback on I've decided..... its time to do something about the RS.. ive poured over turbo kits for them and dyno charts and also some of the comments of you guys (drwrx was the most outspoken about the reasons why not to do it if i recall) and decided that turboing it just isnt an option. i paid around $25k for my RS... with most decent turbo kits running like $4k not including install... we are creeping up into the STi price range... and an RS with a turbo ? sti... so therefore..not worth it. i dont plan on going for an sti until i at least get a stable career.
so with that said. the two things i know i am definetly going to do to this car...in this order
Some sort of exhaust (probably catback). one of my friends buddies might custom-build one for me
CAI.
keep in mind its an AT (another reason why i dont want to drop HUGE cash into it) (and none of his "sell it and buy a MT" sillyness haha. my next car will be a standard i can assure you that) Basically... what things should I be looking to spend only modest cash to upgrade? no $4000 turbo kits. im trying ot keep this below the $2-3k range.
