I want more out of her!
yoo guys! ive been thinking lately and i must say that i really want more out of my sc3.... right now all i have is a super clean stock, becides intake, 93 auto. i dont know what i should do to get more out of her. im really looking for performance ill be getting rims soon from my father, but then im probably gonna seen some coilovers so i have taken that into consideration...
all in all i want to go faster and dont really know what my next step should be. im not made of cash so please dont throw something to ridiculous at me. turbo maybe? or manuel conversion to make it more fun?
also in my garage i have a t3 turbo and intercooler sitting around.

Well next I would get an exhaust. That'll help a little with your performance. If you ever do a manual conversion, it'll be like a totaly different car. As far as suspension goes, don't just stop at the coils, change the CA's and bushings also. One main thing people forget about is maintenence. Get a simple tune up, oil change, tranny flush and you'll notice a difference. Do these things and you'll be off to a good start.
*EDIT* Even though you have parts of the turbo kit, i'd hold off until exhaust and suspension were installed. It needs to breathe properly and you'll need to be able to control it better.
Oh yeah rim size suggestion 18" or 19" diameter at least 9"-9.5"(F) 18-23 offset, 9.5"-10.5" (R) 20-25offset.

thanks! yeah i was thinking about exhaust... i actually cut my mufflers out.. do you know off the top of your head what it would cost to do it? also i would much rather take it to a place to get it done. if i did that would i have to bring the parts to them?

I did a custom exhaust. Apexi N1 3" in 4" out, with a resognator and it cost me around $350. I wanted a single, right outlet and at the time I did want to extend the supra exhaust, plus it was left outlet. You can even get a HKS muffler instead of the Apexi for a total of about the same price.
