4.57 gears highly recommended as a first mod. This was my first mod. I've had mine for +32,000 miles (1.5 year) without any problems. A tad noisier, but easy to get used to. Best bang for your buck...period.

If you have 93 octane in your area and it's hot/humid, I recommend the following combination: Mugen ECU + cooling mods + Mugen header. You can get all of these parts at used prices easily. This combination adds mid-range power and makes the car more driveable, much like the gears. The car will feel like it's driving in cold weather constantly. If you decide to go with this set-up, do so after the gears.

Most people go with 4.56 gears....why not with 4.77? They're cheaper and give you more power; what else am I missing? Are they not as strong or something?
