Southeast PA General Discussion - NJ/DE/MD welcome too!
So, I've got the intake (loving it).. I've been debating my next, cheap performance mod. What are your thoughts on the lightweight crank pulleys? Reviews seem to be mostly positive in terms of HP gain over the power band. Are there any considerations that need to be made for engine wear/tear and safety?
ummm lightweight pully... make sure it's dampened, if not u will see problems on the tC. but i wouldnt even suggest using it on the tC.. and i would trust the word of Lo Bux on that subject.

Thanks for the info Zanson, I've got a lot to read there..
n e time. yoursciontC has a lot of people with a lot of reliable information. i have learned a lot reading those forums.
u should do the springs vince. their not too hard to do, and it will actually help with your everyday drive.
not much will get u more pep in the tC short of a turbo, or a lightweight flywheel. intake n exhaust will j7ust get ya sound.. maybe 5hp in the upper part of the power band.

I'm looking for smaller, more affordable mods that will give my daily commute more pep (short of selling my car and getting a 350Z).

Finally got my rear shocks installed.
I've still got 10mm of rear hub shims to install yet, but I've gotta (gasp) roll my fenders before they'll fit. I'm going to try and pick up 5mm spacers for the front too.
I've converted the car to winter spec... the gold wheels are stashed away until I come home from school next spring.
