    I respect most of your guys opinions (except derp). I realize you are all just trying to help me out and I seriously do thank you for that. But at the end of the day it is my car, you don't have to like it or look at. And again thanks for all the input.

    If it's your car and your going to bitch like a high school girl on the rag every time someone says something you don't find to be true then head over to nasioc.

    That is my goal, but I'm not about to buy new wheels already and I'm skeptical about cutting my perfect fenders!

    What the **** do you think a gaudy diffuser is?

    Rice rice baby.

    Function over form, kid. Brakes, suspension, power. Then worry about exterior ****.

    400 bucks is a sway bar and end links. I.e., useful.

    Or its pads and rotors. Ie useful.

    Or its a boost controller, downpipe and a tune. I****inE, useful.

    Knockoff brand diffuser.... not useful. you can't see the stupid thing while you're driving anyway. Use the money on something you'll get direct feedback from.

    Or, be a ricer. Whatever.

    Haha I haven't bought it, I haven't bolted on anything onto the exterior except a front lip. Already have that stuff, but thanks for the suggestions. I'm not fully committed to the diffuser it's just an idea.

    For being someone who has not bought it yet you are sure defending it like it's your 1st born and someone called them a bit chubby.

    I will hand it to you that you haven't ragequit yet. ;)
    I know you didn't ask for it but lets find better suggestions for how to spend the $400 on things you don't already have.
    What gauges do you have? Boost, afr, oil pressure, egt would all be very nice to have and a better use of the money.

    Oh yeah I remember now. You pretty much have a complete setup until you want to go bigger turbo.
    Maybe a good AOS or oil catch can might be worthwhile and other than that save your money for tires and track fees lol.
    If/when you break your rear diff I have a spare R160 with your 3.7 final drive. With your PAR 5 speed and your torque that is probably your weakest link besides maybe your clutch.

    Did you ever get your synchros fixed? I think I remember you had some grinds.

    That is an interesting choice...haha You will miss the longer gearing if/when you go bigger with the power.
    Either way I think the R160 is your weak point.

    So no on the synchro replacement?

    Turned out nice! I bought a 5 foot section of 416 stainless, cut off my 4"tip, welded a plate over the can with 2 2" holes and welded the pipes onto that then polished with sandpaper.
