Upgrade my whip in what way?

[Invisible Camel]

I wan't my car to be beastly. I don't know what to upgrade first. I have exaust but thats it. Oh and i'm not rich like everyone else so i can't afford a supercharger or anything of the sort.:Banane08:

[JoshCrane1]

springs, intake, rims etc.... just pick a theme and goal and work for it.

427 motor swap with RWD conversion.

That would be a beastly tC.

[timmy]

hell might as well go with the 572 chevy. that may do the trick.

upgrade by not calling it a whip :)

[Spock]

upgrade by not calling it a whip :)

:rofl:

seriously though without money you can't make it "beastly" what does that mean anyways? I am guessing you mean fast since you are in the "engine" area.

[Invisible Camel]

yeah i want an intake maybe headers, a front strut brace. I know its not cheap but $300 is a lot cheaper than $3500. I would like more power. Not so much a flashy ride.

[Invisible Camel]

Springs would be a nice addition but in Tulsa i would be to worried about scraping the hell out of the bottom of my car.

[2dot4]

stay away from headers unless you just want power at any cost. They always sound like shit on the tC.

I've never seen a tC with headers that didn't sound like shit. I've personally had DC headers, and I swapped those for Megan headers, and both were awful and didn't stay on my car very long. the power was awesome, but not worth the awful noise.

Any recomendations on what to put on my car engine wise w/o voiding my warranty?

[retsbennabnu]

nothing :)

[Invisible Camel]

That was NOT cool man. :smartass:

HEADERS, intake, pulleys, short shift, stainless braided clutchline, brass tranny bushings, s-pipe and full exhaust, silicon hoses, cooler thermostat. pretty much what i have, no warranty issues and no problems.:Banane03:

[Invisible Camel]

That sounds like a good idea. I apreciate the help. Now i just need the money and someone to install them.

money would def. help, as for the install, all of those parts could be installed by a novice with a lil supervision.

[2dot4]

yeah, install should be a breeze on 90% of those things.

if you need help, PM any one of us and we'll walk you through any problems you have.

the best power for your money is nitrous - up to 100whp safely for $700.

nitrous will void his warranty, without an extensive camoflauging or hiding technique; or having to unhook the system everytime he gets serviced. i wouldve already done that to my n/a motor if it didnt only have 22,000 miles. i probably will put nitrous on right before i swap motors, to see how much the stock tc motor can take, muahahaa.

[Invisible Camel]

yeah probably not such a good idea i only have 1000 miles on my car.

[JoshCrane1]

thats pretty new, if i were you i would get a short shift with tranny bushings and stainless braided clutchline, and ingalls etd. with those your car will shift like a dream. and shifting is somethin you do all the time, so mine as well enjoy it. i wish i didnt wait a year and a half to get my shizznit.

[Invisible Camel]

know where i can get those for a decent price?

[JoshCrane1]

SHORT shifter is from twm.com(get stage 2), bushings same place(bronzeoil), clutchline from ebay for 20 bucks, and ingalls etd can be found a lot of places, just dont know where its the cheapest, in the range of 120-150. just google it. the etd will give you more power to the wheels and provide smoother shifting.

[Invisible Camel]

ok, time for a dumb question what are ingalls etd.?

[revvintc]

The ETD or better known as the stiffy is basicly a really strong gas shock that mounts between the strut tower and top motor mount on the pass side
of the car. It just keeps the motor in place so when you torq it up on take off the motor dont move as much there by putting more power to the ground.

x2, also helps with everyday shifting, lot smoother.

Does the clutchline need to be made specifically for my car or can i use a motorcycles or hondas? If no than i can find one on ebay but if it needs to be specific than i need help finding one.

Check out one of our site sponsors for the clutch line and bushings.

Thanks a lot, they were having a sale on the stuff i wanted so i bought it. New Short Shifter, Stiffy, and clutchline comming soon. I'm so excited.

Did these cars have resonators on them?? granted, the resonator will rob you of some hp but it will get rid of the raspy sound... at least thats what ive heard... no headers for me yet...

turbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i have a daily driver and its turbo love it

[Invisible Camel]

untill my cars warranty runs out in (6 years) there will be no such thing as a turbo. Plus unless we start a turbo fund raiser i will never be able to afford it.
