The flywheel is between the engine and transmission, not inside the transmission.

ebay stuff is good just get the stuff that says top seller and yea i would go with a full exhaust headers and air intake that the best stuff to start off with and then coilovers if yiou want it lowered

yeah coilovers were def what i was lookin at. that'll most likely be the next thing after intake/exhaust.

The flywheel is inside the transmission, a flywheel has two purposes, one to connect to the starter and start the car, the other to transfer power from the engine to the tranny by clamping a clutch to it. The stock flywheel is based off inertia it weighs 21lbs. The 8.5/11lb flywheels are based off of freeing up rev's so you can reach the powerband quicker. When going up a hill at a low rpm you will want the stock one, for any spirited driving you will want a lighter one.

yeah im def not doin any mountain climbing in it so i think ill stick with a lighter one

FAIL!

The only way to make it fast/reliable is to put a Chevy driveline in it.

wrong...ebay is nothing but shit for the most part...pay the least you can for the tubing...and toss the filter. If you get a cai/short ram off ebay, replace the filter asap.

And k&n filters are good but they still let a significant amount of dirt in, just the nature of the free flowing beast...but they are good.

The top rated performance filters (rated on how little dirt they let pass) are EXPENSIVE...k&n is not too bad filtering and money wise ($50)

I have a spectre oiled filter on my car (cotton gauze like k&n) and I am saving up to send my oil analysis' in to see if the spectre filter (again...SAME material as k&n) is doing its job. If it is not, I will test k&n next.

If you want to get technical with it it is inside the bellhousing which is commonly considered part of your transmission(especially since the bellhousing is cast as one piece with the transmission housing). By that association it is inside the tranny even though it does not bolt up to the tranny, it is just connected by a splined shaft.

is there also such a thing as gettin good hp with good mpg?

Yes, especially with a FI/N2o setup. Stay in low rpm for economy hit high rpm and spray/boost for power.

Just doing full exhaust/intake(bolt on) mods will give you better economy as long as you arent like everyone else, myself included, and fall in love with the high rpm sound and additional power.

hi friend!

you can start off by taking out the SQUARE air box, and replacing the box and SQUARE filter with a aftermarket, ROUND kind, the one that we all have..

k&n w/e you want to get, thats BEST for your budget, your car's intake will sound more diff than stock, but remember youll still have the stock PLASTIC tube on, which is fine for rite now!

once you gather cash, get a generic tube and put that on and youll already have the filter!

a aftermarket tube is nice and str8 and the air flow will be more smoother going into your intake.


me, i have a 2.25 exhaust on my car and i like it, i have a borla muffler on as well, and its pretty dam quiet.
