Newbie Mod Mistakes



another noob mistake was, I purchased a hot air intake off ebay thinking it would give HP.

The write-up on making your own FWI wasn't a total mistake but sure was tacky lol...Just installed Wizaired tonite. FTW!!
 
first mistake... not buying a 72 chevelle i could have.... haha but yeah i love my car and i havent really messed up modding :) just read what others say

haha no offense but everyone knows GTPJOE is the forums idiot lol :th_thumbsup-wink:

wouldn't be the same without your crazy comments though man :th_peaceout:
 
The first mod i bought the car was a wizaid cai, then the slp catback was the 2nd. Trying to make a n/a car fast was my biggest mistake, i lost money there.

-wizard cai
-plog
-zzp d/p
-overkill pcm

with the above mods the car ran a 15.3 @ 88 :p

I can't wait for new times with a tune and pulley drop :D

X2 on the re-tune and pulley drop times...I thought GTs ran a 15.3 stock? lol
 
1)Buying a K&N cai for 350 dollars
2)Buying two sets of rims instead of supercharging it
3)Not spending my money on a turbo instead of all my mods :D
4)The only real mistake I ever made installing a mod though was trying to delete my front 02 sensor when I did my headers and full exhaust lol... Didn't work out too well....
 


I spent $1500 on just a 3.2 pulley, slp exhaust, FWI, and DHP pcm from PFYC. Got raped on shipping from PFYC, cut the exhaust up and went with a custom set up, bought hptuners and tune myself, and put said 3.2 pulley on a basically stock car ( luckly didn't blow up anything).
 
Noob mistake #1 was heading down the S/C Upgrade path.

Thankfully I came to my senses half way through the cam install. Turbo swap is now in progress.
 
not debadgeing my gtp before i told my friends i drove a grand prix
not ***** slappin this kid when i found out he was running 110 octane
in his n/a 3000gt
 


buying ceramic coated pacesetter headers for full price that was a waist of money and a major head ach. i actualy went back to stock manies for a wile lol
