"Safe", yes - when the ECU see's too much air going through the MAF, it will cut fuel for you before you can do any damage.IIRC, I was hitting fuel cut on my 14B with a Supra SMIC at ~18PSI on colder nights.Honestly, I would stick with the 14B until you have the money for an DSM Link -...

They both went on/off (flashed) at the same time?

Under some circumstances, a wider rim will indeed make it easier to make a given sized tire able to "tuck" under the fender without having to resort to too much static camber, but it's dependent upon the car's fender shape and the roll camber rate. This has to do with the wider rim reducing the...

Does anyone know what the rim/tire specs are on that last red Talon?:sneaky:

Would definitely like the rims better if they weren't chrome...just my personal taste.As far as performance - more camber isn't always better for handling; that's far from "fact". There's is definitely a point of diminishing returns. Think about it this way - if your wheels were completely...

What's your budget? These cars are pretty easy to mod unless you want MASSIVE numbers with forged internals and a built tranny. The HP game is all about how deep your wallet is.

Well you did, but in the same breath you also said you're running 6K in the factory housing. I would suggest leading by example...

Smart move getting rid of the bike IMO.:thumb:For $1,000, I think you're getting what you would expect. It's most likely going to take some maintenance and a lot of work, so if you're prepared for a project then jump in.Also my condolences for what's going down in your town right now...

It sounds like he's having AC issues and only in "stop and go traffic".I think the dump is a horrible idea, but if he's overheating in traffic then the dump isn't his issue (though I would still get it out of the engine bay).

FMIC? Factory radiator? How much HP are you making? What do you use the car for (DD, drag, track)? All these affect whether any given fan can handle your engine setup or not.

I'm glad someone here has some common sense and/or did a bit of research before just throwing some garbage on their car. "Pure White" is 4500K. Anything above that and you're reducing your light output and increasing glare to look "cool". Every time I see someone with 6K and higher lights I want...

Don't think you can flash the 420A ECU and from what I've read a piggy-back won't work on the 420A either...

As mentioned the 420A engine responds very poorly to mods.First and foremost, it's not true that a "ram-air intake" is going to produce more power on a non-turbo engine. With an NA engine, harmonics come into play - many manufactures engineer/tune the OEM intake to a given RPM in a way that...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it".Don't worry about the radiator until you reach a point where the stock system doesn't cut it, otherwise you're just spending money to add more weight to your car.

It depends on what your goals are. I doubt he picked up a Spyder to "beat everyone on the streets".Curios - how do you haul your kids in a completely gutted car? Still have the rear seats?

Wish I could say the same. Mine probably has more miles on the back of a tow truck than on the road.:ohdamn:

Could use some +10mm spacers...

Looks clean...my friend had one for a few years but sold it to get something newer. If I picked one up I would definitely mod it. Don't think I could handle driving a stock 4G63.

At the risk of sounding like a hater......I would say the money invested, material, and quality of work is extremely impressive, but it's far from my dream engine. I personally like driving my cars on a track, not just putting up big peak HP numbers on the internet for bragging rights - but...

You mentioned understeer. Keep in mind that nothing you mentioned is going to help your understeer; in fact, nearly everything you mentioned is taking weight out of the back half of the car and will therefore increase it.13.5 is pretty conservative - I wouldn't gut the car at this number...

I was tempted to say wheel bearing but I've never heard of one bind up so bad on occasion that you actually feel a loss in power.I would check out the calipers as mentioned. Take a look at the pads - if one is worn unevenly then you know the caliper isn't properly releasing and is dragging...

That white one above looks awesome - I think it's the Talon side-skirts that make the car. :sneaky:

There's a difference between the GS-T and GSX shifers?:confused:
