future plans

imma start a thread on future plans for peoples whips. so feel free to post what you think of others, and your own future plans. (this has probably been done before, but i would like up to date stuff)

personally, imma prolly go NA, nothing crazy at first, basics, like exhaust/ intakes, free mods and whatnot, then eventually some headwork/cams, and higher comp pistons. i just want a NA with low/mid 200 hp eventually. because i live in WI, and not cali, i might go with no CAT, and was wondering if you ahve ever heard of anyone using a glasspack on a 240, and how it would perform/sound. best guess is that it would perform well, and sound very throaty... and bigvinnie, your older thread about 200 crank hp for under 1000 bucks is a pretty big inspiration of mine. thanks, sincerely.

I want to finish my suspension project. I've got one more part on the rear to replace. Then, I want to do some chassis bracing. Recently I've been looking into a brake upgrade and the 5 lug conversion. The SR is at the top of my wish list though.
