Whats your compression ration, If its not to high look into Forced Induction via Supercharger or Turbo.

A Cool setup would be running a intercooled supercharged setup with a A/C clutch setup where you can turn the Supercharger on/off. This is doable with a High comp setup assuming you add the correct octane.

For more octane you can run an Aquamist setup and inject alcohol or a water/meth mix. I am planning on installing one into my WRX soon, One for a High boost/Advanced Timing map and a MPG map for my daily commute.

Easier setup would include an ITR/Skunk 2 Intake Manifold and bigger throttle body, Possibly a ITB setup with Plenum such as in the Toyota Blacktop 20v 4age.

Dont forget Nitrous, Its easy and if you tune it right, very reliable. I ran it for a long time on a stock d16z6 with I/H/E and spanked tons of cars including K-Swaps. We do have a section on it if your interested.

As for a Visual recomendations
- Lower it about an inch to remove wheel gap
- Some type of lip frount and back, I personally like the Poly Type-R Replica's found on ebay
- EK Sideskirts
- Red/Clear tail lights
- OEM Style clear corners
- Tint on rear windows
- Color match jams and engine bay

As for your car, I like it alot, Its clean and has alot of potential, I am sure that is pretty darn fast and you love it. The above are just a few thoughts of what I would do to the car if it was mine, However do what makes you happy, because in the end thats all the matters.

I'm pretty sure with a Color matched bay, and the above recommendations your car would be magazine worthy.

#335377 Beautiful hatch - what a transformation! I don't think it needs anything. It goes fast... How does it stop? Maybe a brake upgrade when it comes time for new brakes? Hmmm good Rotm contestant here :)

my cp ratio is 12.7.1 as of right now and I would love to do some sort off boost but its a little too high lol .. One day I was thinking about rebuilding for a turbo..
and that mexi flush is not staying there I am getting coils very shortly
also chrono404 most of the stuff u suggested is what I had my eye on already the only thing I would do different is amber corner lights and fender lights
and as for the color matched bay do u mean white ? cuz I was thinking same color as the rims then have the valve cover white think that would be cool

#335455 Gold bay with vhite vc would be hot too, as long as you plan on rocking gold wheels :thumb:

If you do the bay white and vc gold, you can always repaint the vc if you get different wheels to keep things matching.
