    ^

    Anticipation is like fore play (it's half the fun ),
    plus you can make a list and purchase the specific other parts you plan to "strap on" to your banana.

    Today I spent more in parts than what I paid for the car... ouch!
    So far I bought the following parts
    TRM Stage 2 +
    TRM clutch kit
    CES cut ring HG
    All sensors, gaskets, chain tensioners etc to replace while doing the HG
    Complete cooling system including new radiator (Mishimoto)
    AEM gauges (AFR & tru boost)
    Rally road gauge pod & strut bar along with some interior goodies.
    Several interior parts to refresh the look of the car etc.
    Suede headliner
    Sad part is that Im going out of the country this saturday for a month and wont be able to work on the car...

    That's called a proper budget.

    BTW
    what clutch brand does TRM tout?

    I forgot to mention that also bought a remanufactured Vanos unit although the current one does not rattle at all. Better to replace it while Im at it.

    Competition clutches make really nice clutch for egos. Affordable, hold 550whp on a full face disc and drive great. I have a competition clutch 6 Puck going in my Evo VIII.

    I'm glad to see they have clutches for BMW's also
