Well, it was worth a try. Thanks again for all your help. I'll be working on suspension for the time being anyway, I figure if I can cut down on that torque steer and get better traction, that'll be a more effective use of the horsepower I already have. Hopefully there will be a good selection of turbo kits out when I get back from the sandbox. How about that RIPP Mods supercharger? Does anyone have any experiance with it yet? Is it even on the market?

go to RRE and get all the Energy suspension parts, as well as all the front and rear sway bar ( you will need them if you want to keep up with cornering while your smoking another smaller car ) Ripp modes has a header out that they say will give you 60+ HP they also have a super charger, works has a cat back system with a new cat for better breathing, motegi has track lite rims, they weigh about 15 lbs, take your rear seat out and make a cover for the area, I did that on my 03 Tib and took about 40 lbs off my car, also get rid of the stock seats, they weigh around 55 lbs apiece get a C/F hood and a C/F rear trunk lid, lighter flywheel and as soon as RRE comes out with the lighter main pully get that too. If you want pics of the cover I did for my Tib, I will E mail you some pics, it came out really nice oh yeah, I think its RRE they also have C/F fron fenders that will save you some weight every 100 pounds taken off will give you back 9 hp in useful hp, I think thats how it goes. for ever 1 lb you take off your rims or fly wheel its like 10 pounds of rotational mass

Thanks a lot, crimson! That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. I've already looked at the polyurithane bushings, Iwas already thinking aboutgetting a set of those and the steel braided break cables they've got at RRE on friday when my paycheck comes in. I've also been trying desperatly to find a good set of lighter rims, I just haven't found many websites that list the weights of most anything they sell. I'll defenately be looking at those motegi wheels you mentioned. Thanks again!

Also, I'm willing to agree with Sebba for the time being, that Quaife LSD doesn't seem like a cheap or easy job. Hopefully I'll be able to combat that later on when I've got less bills to pay.
