It's gonna be a little while before I start in with the power adders.

I am heading out on a road trip in 3 weeks. Once I get back I am planning a few minor mods...

First
Full set of Hankook's
Slotted Rotors and Pads
AMS Stainless Steel Brake lines
AMS Transmission Cooler
Anti-Sway bar
Lowering Springs

Then
AMS Small Battery Kit
AMS Intake
Tune (Evolution Dynamics)

and finally after tax season

AMS Intercooler w/Upper and Lower pipes
BOV upgrade
????

I had plans on staying with that girl forever but things got really out of hand. I dont like to deal with all that, plus it can really wear you out.

Does anyone know of a good and not overpriced repair shop, I want to get my front lip fixed from all the rock chips.

If you are running the Kelford 272-Cs, you can't go wrong with the Beehive springs and retainers.

I understand.

For the springs/retainers discussion, you might want to mention that you had a GT35r as that is an important bit of information.

Thanks for the input on the springs and retainers. I'm purchasing my kelfords today and I'll order my walbro and valvetrain as well. We finally have a date of July 10th to get tuned from Chris at Mellon so I'm pretty excited. Anyone have a valve spring compressor btw? I'll be doing the cams at home like the rest of the mods and I'll definately need one.

Good ish man on the selling of the car and tuning date. I know your excited and I guess me and you are on the same path as far as next parts. I'll being doing a 255 fp injectors and fuel rail with the kelford b's with upgraded valve train. When I did my gsx I rented the vs compressor from advance. It worked man just took me awhile. But a snap on or matco one would be a good investment I'm going to price check today and see what I can find. But if some one has one on the board and only requires a deposit to use theirs and I get my money back when I return yours in the standings I recieved it I would appreciate it. Me and pat would gladly like to use it!!

I talked to Frank today and he says he has a spring compressor at his house in cove. Im not sure wat brand or anything but he did say on dsm's its a PITA to install em with the head on. I figured it would be a little annoying and I would definately have to read up on it alot before deciding if I'm gonna do this.

I ordered my Kelfords today ,GSC beehive springs , walbro 255 pump.
