Whole list of things to do.

[Garrett63]

First off, I saw another 40th parked by my workplace in Fountain Valley... Never thought I would see one to be quite honest since I barely even see 370's at all in this high population area... Kudos to you, and will be on the lookout since the unicorn does exist.

Now on to the important stuff!

Interior pod lights!(bahaha)
So since some people would call it a no brainer to go with red "mood" lights as someone else once called them since its part of the 40th color scheme, I cant help but notice how cool that blue looks. Link provided here that has pictures.

NEW** LED Interior Map Light Pods- Free Shipping

As for other mods that are on my radar for the next month, I can be swayed another way by a compelling argument or bad experience.

After the interior/trunk/license plate lights

1. 20% tints
2. Takeda Attack CAI(Because of dry filter versus Gen 3)(still waffling on this one)
3. 20/25 spacers(no drop) if anyone has pictures without the drop let me know. I'm against the drop because being 6'4 is hard enough to get in and out of this beautiful piece of art. Oh and because of the 70% steep driveways around here scraping(scraping= not sexy IMO)

Maybe if I dont mind spending some more $ so soon.
4. New HU(Probably a new version Pioneer).
5. Sound deadening.

For you non-Canadian owners, Replace or not replace the stock HU? Based on sound quality.

Thanks to anyone who chooses to respond to part or all of this, I know it's a lot.

I am 6'5" (which I think is the limit for these cars as everyone makes a comment when I get out on how I fit in it) and lowered on Swifts. It's not slammed and you only notice the difference getting in an out the first few times. You have to angle the car for steep grades already if you use a little precaution you will be fine. It makes a big difference in appearance to lower it even if its just an inch so you wont look like a monster truck.

Nothing out of the ordinary with the rest of your mods. As far as which intake its a personal choice. I would go with Takeda because it is near identical and costs $100 less. You don't mention anything about exhaust. If you don't already have one I would add it to the list along with test pipes or high flow cats.

I would go with the blue dome lights they are brighter and look better in my opinion. Besides, red doesn't give off enough light to see in the cabin at night. I think I would have went with Takeda intakes if my car wasn't already equipped with the G3's when I bought it. You don't have to cut the duct holes to get the piping through and the install looks cleaner. I am in the middle of getting replacement front spacers from Powertrix. I'll take a picture once they come or see if I can dig up an older pic of when I ran 20/25 spacers.

Your list sounds good so far!

I wanted to add things piece by piece when it comes to performance. I'd like to feel a difference with just a CAI first then up from there. I continue to read that you get the most hp from the first mod. and since a CAI is 1/3 the cost of a good exhaust I would go with that first. Plus it leaves me more money to do the other things.

Thanks for that priceless info on the drop! means a lot coming from someone who is actually taller than me. I'll look into it.

I don't know how to put this but I am kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my house smells of rich mahogany.


But as far as your performance mods go you are correct. It's the law of diminishing returns I'm afraid. But personally I can not stand how quiet the 370 is stock. So I chose to go with HFC's and a CBE first. I am not sure I will add a CAI as I feel it is more of a bling factor under the hood at this point since the cost per hp increase isn't worth it. I may upgrade it down the road but right now I am looking more at a front lip or lip kit and wheels to finish it off. Of course cost is a factor, like you said, it is cheaper to get a CAI than a new exhaust setup. Definately a good choice in an intake with the Takeda Stage 2.

After wrapping my mind around Anyone have a setup of 15mm spacers in front and 20 rear?
I'm second guessing the spacers. Just too confusing with the need/dont need camber kit, rubbing issues and so forth.

Is it really more complicated than just buying lowering springs+ 15/20 or 20/25 spacers +install? mind you I plan on keeping stock tire size with the stock rays.

[speedfreek]

I am sitting 20mm all the way around. There is no way to adjust the fronts with stock arms. Mine stayed near spec. I went ahead and installed the rear camber kit to be able to stay within spec in the rear. Some have gotten away with this setup without needing a rear camber kit. My advice is while you have it all torn apart it is worth installing the rear camber arms to assure there are no issues. If you are having a shop do it you just may have to make two trips after the springs are installed and settled. You will find out once you go to get an alignment.
