    Question once i get some money on my hands....

    ok, my good computer just blew its motherboard so im stuck on my old one so i dont have any pics to upload.

    but! at the moment, i have a 1992 vp with 15" csa mags and a full pioneer stereo.

    thing is, im working flat stick over the hollies to try and pump some money into me beast and i was wondering which is the best way to go about it.

    things ive thought up

    colour code rear garnish (feel free to post pics up if you have any (my car is white )

    2 1/2" cat-back exhaust (thinking of dropping rear resonator and putting 3" pipe in)

    extractors maybe

    lowered (super-low kings)

    maybe upgrade to 17" ROh furys

    new slotted front rotors

    window tint (which im getting for chrissy from the olds)

    CAI leading into pod filter (cai up to bottom of air bow with pod sitting in box with no top)

    couple of quick questions ive got though
    when i upgrade brake rotors, is rotors the only thing ill be needing or will i need to replace wheel bearings, calipers, master cylinder etc?

    with the super-lows, is an adjustable panhard rod really necessary or can i get away with it? plus, i will be upgrading to monroe gt shortened gas shocks, with the front shockies do i need strut INSERTS or replacement strut towers(the one that has the fitting for the calipers)? (i have no idea about suspension)

    anyways, any help would be appreciated guys, i dont wanna spend my money on useless things

    cheers

    the bearings fit inside the rotor hub so whe nyou fit new rotors it would be easier to fit new bearings then to try and get them out ofyour old rotors etc. when you get the your new shocks you will need the short ones, forthe front it's an insert and i bleieve there is also a shortened version of these also. you can try without the adjustable panhard with the 15's depending on ther width (i'm guessing maybe 205 to 225's) ifyou step up to the 235/45/17" wheels they will most likely rub on the rear drivers sidegaurd and then you would require the adjustable panhard rod. get the extractors with the 2 1/2" exhaust. the extractors will probably give a better increase then just the exhaust alone. if your going to fit a pod filter section it off from the rest ofthe engine bay otherwise it will just suck the hot air from under there, then feed the cai into the sectioned off area. have alook at the attachment below, that how i've sectioned of my pod

    ah ok so itd just be easier to replace my bearings along with the new rotors... got ya! yeah i know the shockies have to be shortened i just forgot to tell you that lol, so all i need is inserts, not the whole shortened strut assembly? because i was having a hunt around ebay and i can get 2x shortened rear shocks + 2x shortened strut assemblies for $300 (monroe gt gas shortened)

    yeah i know id have to do some sort of heat sheilding with my pod and ill get around to that after i get it all. will i need any adaptors to fit my pod onto my intake pipe or will it just go straight on then just have to be fastened?

    cheers
