I always liked this thread.

the list is great.

[Interlude787]

now will this list differ any if your modding a ATX rather than a manual? or would that tranny conversion be an additional part to it?

Look in the "Supporting Vendors" forum/list on this site and you will find a whole slew of good places to find what you want.

Note: Scroll to the bottom of this page to "Forum Jump" and use the "drag-down" feature until you see "Supporting Vendors".

I wouldnt suggest using ebay for some items. I bought a downpipe off of ebay bc i couldnt afford a namebrand one and it was definately not a direct bolt-on. I've heard of numerous other horror stories.

there is some things that is ok to buy on ebay like the cold air intake( if you dont care as much about looks) and a few other items.

What are the benefits of the underdrive pulley over the overdrive? I saw the aluminum lightweight overdrive pulley on 3sx that replaces the stock without replacing anything else and would get that if its not significantly better to get the underdrive. Thanks in advance

The underdrive pulley will turn your accessories slower (AC, alt, power steer, ect) in turn creating less drag on the engine but I’m pretty sure you need a smaller belt with it also. When you do this some of the accessories might not work as well. I’m pretty confident it is very minimal HP change from the standard size pulley. Personally I would recommend the standard size aluminum one.

Hans' SL put down 168 to the wheels with an exhaust/testpipe/intake.... BUT he kept 168 to the wheels to redline where as I fell back down like 10hp to redline.

the numbers may be skewed a little seeing as this was like 2 years ago.

Solid motormounts, you can also do the dsm elcheapo method of filling in the mount with polyurethane, ie 15 bux for all 4. Works real well. Or you can take it a step further and make your own molds/mounts.. the instructions are out there. Again, diy for pennies.

with the UDP and lightweight flywheel, you tach up alot quicker than a stock setup
