how mcuh is it?

i havnt seen an effective throttle body spacer since the days of the carburetor.

-edit- i believe the concept is that the spacer gives more time for the air and fuel to mix before it goes into the good stuff. since you have electronic fuel injection all its doing is making your intake longer.

dont waste your money. if your going to do anything find a larger diameter throttle body. but then you might run into problems with the MAF throwing a light. and if it doesnt the car will adjust the engine management to factory settings anyway.

do you have a lightweight crank pulley? probably your best bet for performance on an auto.

well my TRD shocks were STIFF! like no one would sit in the back seat ever stiff.

Koni FSD's are high quality pieces though pricey.

your best bet would be to get coil-overs with dampening adjustability and set them to a soft setting. though you cant be slammed to the ground either. suspension travel is your friend.

being slammed is good for looks but thats about it, every other part of the car suffers.

he did not. but coilovers will be our best bet. jsut gotta old back on slamming it to the ground and make sure you can adjust for stiffness.

even stock the car rides stiff so i dont think your going to ever get a luxury car ride out of it. the FSD's are nice shocks that adjust dampening (stiffness) depending on how your driving. do some research on them and you will see what im trying to say.

basic idea of what im going to do with my helmet. going to get the design refined and then have some vinyl cut so its easy to remove if need be.

i know it kinda looks like a fish but you gotta thing of it in 3D
