Default Where to go from here

Tuning thread has slowed a little so I'm thinking, I'm not exactly the most JDM guy you'll ever meet, if it works I buy it but I have a little saved up and am very indecisive on what is next. All I'm waiting for is a tune(long story) and then I dont have a clue where to go from there. My drivers seat is starting to show wear, thinking of a Bride Zeta, I've got a hookup on that. Or I could buy an ap2 tranny, what do you guys think? Opposite ends of the spectrum I know but I'm just trying to finish off the performance so I can start on the suspension, the seat may slow me down dollar wise but I practically have no bling/JDM stuff on my car. It would look gangsta but then again my car has lost about 7-10 hp over 5k miles and that tranny would help me out in that area. A real pickle hehe open ears.

Dude! Get an ASM strut bar!!! Not only does it provide insane chassis rigidity, but it bling blingin' too! ASM uses it on their 57 second record setting Tsukuba car, need I say more!?

Sorry, I thought that was good advice. You can read about it in Sport Compact Car. There is a whole article on the ASM car. I can't remember what issue it was.

you should use the money and find out why your car lost 7-10 hp over 5k miles. There is a thread on here (too lazy to find it) where someone dyno'ed there S2K with over 100k miles on it and the power was the same as when it was new.

I was thinking of switching to an AP2 tranny for the better 1st - 3rd gearing, sorry I didnt specify.
