hey guys, long time no see. just wondering what should i mod next. only have a little bit of money so nothing drastic but im think the thermal block insulater thingy. Is the one from rpw any good? the thermal block and the throttle body one? ($86 and $43)

mods i have so far... (mines a 3.0l btw)

K&N Pod filter
TH smokers Cold air kit
RPW Street extractors
FPR
High flowed throttle body
2.25 inch cat back exhaust and lukey high flow


Doe anyone think ill lose any torque if I up the exhaust to 2.5"? with the lukey muffler maybe?


any help/ideas much appreciated

Trav

omg trav's alive..

go the exhaust :)

lol

hey trav!

i wouldnt go bigger than 2.5"

how bout some sort of suspension work?

strut brace? sway bar?

next mod? Entrance fee to your nearest 1/4 mile strip? :P

hey guys, cheers for teh comments. yehs suspensions done, strut bar, sway bar, monroes and king springs. yeh i wouldnt go any bigger than 2.5, but ive got 2.25 at the moment. have many people gone 2.5 on their 3.0l? any good?

Trav

and are those insulating things worth it? seem pretty cheap. whats the labour like?

also, how much to get front seats re-trimmed? that mob in SA were doin pretty cheap a while back i remember...


Trav

$50 on fuel and come out to a cruise with the WA boys!

as for front seats retrimmed i would say you looking at around $1000 if ur looking at leather/suede

bump :bump:

if you are searching for the next mod to do, maybe you should just leave it for now and chuck the money in a savings account?

lol

2.5 is big for a magna..
Dont waste your time with a strut brace.. get yourself a rear sway bar around 20-22mill and your car will have a 400% improvement on handling..:)

Thats if you want it to handle.. And they arent expensive.. around $200:)

i shall beat you over the head with my strut brace fool. i love it one of the best things i've bought for my car but get both a strut brace and a sway bar thats what i'm doin :D

2.5" on a 3ltr is fine.
just dont go any higher


How about telling us your budget, then we can spend your moneys for you !

hey trav im in the same posiion as you ay, iv got pod cai, 2 and 1/4, TB, FPR, pacies etc on my 3L. I too don' know whether or not to upgrade my zorst, but i think it will be a waste of money.

The thermo insulator blocks are what i bought recently and are easy to install (take of the intake plenum and your there), but they didn't make a noicable difference.

I reckon you should get the fuel rail kit thing which heats up your fuel more for a more complee combustion, its pretty cheap and i'v heard nothing but good things from people who have installed it.

Other than that, have you thought about getting an emange? u can pick em up 2nd hand for pretty cheap, and rpw can give it a good tune for u.

also, are u missing a bumper?

yeh, cheers guys. ive got the strut and sway bars already.

yeh how much for those fuel rail things benny? thinkin about the insulator blocks, not bad, $85 and $45.

and yes i dont have a bumper atm, haha. should be finished getting fixed by 2moz
