I was actually thinking about more of a custom turbo system if that is what I decided. I would like to put it all together myself. I have a welder if needed and am quite mechanically inclined in case you couldn't tell from my first mod by myself. Also is there much of an advantage using the 10% underdrive pulley vs normal? Also it is said that you don't want to use the underdrive for s/c, but t/c's are ok. Is that true? I have thought about weight reduction and I have both AAA and a cell phone lol. I do need my seats though lol. I have a gf believe it or not. I was thinking about maybe a lighter shifter knob, lightweight racing seats, and a lighter steering wheel.

I haven't had the time nor the money to look into the more performance inclined mods yet, so I really don't know much about the underdrive pulley. I just know that it'll yield a little more power than stock and NST's CR-Lite pulley.

about the text comment. Ok, keep the front passenger seat for some action when needed. A weighted knob is actually better than a lightened knob. They're friggin expensive tho. You can always remove the aforementioned carpet and sound-deadening material if you can't remove the seats. Any way you can custom make CF parts? Damn, wish I knew how to weld and had a welder.
