Well my question is what are you thinking of doing with the car? My suggestion is pickup an intake of some sort and an upgraded rear sway...

welcome!
Get a spoiler and OEM or CTR side skirts. It'll do wonders.

Plus id like to add thay before buying parts elsewhere, check with our site sponsors first, they carry probably 90% of the parts available for the ep, and sell them consistently at the best prices

Buy the "expensive" version of everything once rather than buying the cheap version until it takes a shit on you 3 months later.

Well, id say buy the "good" version, but basically the same thing...id like to expand on that and say, figure out what you want to do, and save for exactly what you want so you aren't buying selling parts until you get where you want...I mean hell I saved for a year for my exhaust because I knew that's what I wanted

Yeah exactly. I'm just saying that we ALWAYS get what we pay for in this kind of hobby and good ends up just looking expensive if you can't see a thorough difference in quality (i.e. online shopping if you're like me). But you're exactly right about shopping a lot and buying once, one thing I like about having been on these forums all through college is that now that I'm FINALLY making money I know exactly where it's going.

And whatever you do, listen to talonxracer when it comes to technical info. He knows basically everything there is to know about the k series.

Change your tranny fluid with some Redline MTL! I changed mine abt 2 weeks ago and shifting has been like butter since. Also, hybrid racing shifter bushings are a somewhat cheap great upgrade from stock, smoother but tighter shifting feel.
