Of course a new JVC headunit so I can listen to CD's since the OEM one skipped...a lot.
The new HKS SSQV III...quite a story from this one.
I replaced the Perrin BOV that was on the car with the fancy new HKS. On the very first night driving around I shift and BLAM...a horrid noise that no one likes to hear and the car shuts off...great. So I pull over, fluid spilling all over the place and my brand new BOV laying in the middle of the road...had the clip fallen off? NOPE!
Clip still in place on the car the flange cracked and it slipped out from underneath it...how awesome right? Even better is...
When it came off it punched a hole in the radiator....ugh. What fun! So the next day I limp the car to my dads and she sits for quite some time...while I buy another car because I'm angry at this one. I know, I'm weird. Anyways so after I'm done being angry at an inanimate object I buy a new radiator...
52MM aluminum radiator from corksport...fits like a charm!...Kind of. Very tight squeeze but a lot better than that stock one that was in it that's for sure. Also added on something else fun...
Weapon-R coolant overflow and a Perrin front plate delete.
At some point in time in all of this( I honestly can't remember when...) I brought her to a local car show and dyno'd her.
Highest 245 whp/243wtq...not too shabby seeing as I found a nickle sized hole in the intake pipe and a big crack in the downpipe after this.
I drove it for quite some time like this, she's actually extremely reliable...but it just wasn't enough! So in the next section it's time for some more upgrades...
