Re: i'm lost in what to do

Well do you want a show car or a go car...do you want it fast for a street car or do you want to make it a drag strip car, or autocross car...
how much are you willing to spend?
do you want to make it all motor or go forced induction?
We need more info on your goals and such.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

We need to know what the the car is going to be used for and we need to know what kind of budget you have to work with.

Re: i'm lost in what to do

Ok how about this: What type of car would you like to be able to beat in a race? Or what kind of 1/4 mile times are you wanting to hit?
Those two questions are important in determining what you do to the motor.

Well with 250K miles that would not be a good idea unless he is going to completely rebuild the motor. But on the other hand it is probably getting close to that time anyway if he wants to add performance parts.

Re: i'm lost in what to do

I think you might be dreaming... 10sec 1/4 time is going to require a ton of boost. you're gonna have to make your engine bulletproof and it wont be cheap. but if you have the money, more power to you.

I don't know about the 10 second car thing. That will be hard to attain and very expensive.

I think you need to be realistic here it is damn near impossible to run 10sec in a Honda with a full interior and the system you were talking about earlier unless you are running like 30psi of boost. It sounds like you want a show car and a racecar and a streetcar all in one. You are going to have to compromise somewhere. It is pretty impossible and outrageously expensive to have a 10 sec show car that you drive everyday on the street. If that's what you are looking for though and money is no object like you say, my suggestion is to sell your car and buy a Supra!

get you a good set of coil overs first off, Tanabe makes some good ones, and 2'' is a good looking drop for integras. lowering it on stock shocks is not going to be smooth, so you might think about get some new shocks too... get an engine dress up kit (for show) and some nice rims. get a nice system. i love JL audio, i have a pioneer 1000 watt amp pushin 2 10'' JL w1's and they sound lovely in the hatch back. i'm not a huge fan of body kits but if i had to choose i think wing west makes a nice looking kit... as for speed, like i said before go turbo, get a nice exhaust (i like GReddys evo II) and you'll be ready to win a few shows. 2 cents
