New guy here!
 
Hey guys i'm kinda new in here, used to be a mustang owner now i have a 95 darkgreen z28 WOOHOO....anyhow it's completely stock except for exhaust.. what kind of upgrades do you guys usually do first.. headers? k&n filter? any help would be appreciated

Welcome aboard. Is your car a M6(6-speed) or and A4(atuo)? That has a little to do with it but first, I would put an intake on there and get you a good set of headers. Just get the thing breathing good in and out. Thats as far as I have gotten on my car. All the free mods or course.(do a search for them) That would be a good start. Again, welcome to the club. If you ever have any questions about your car, ask it. I always do. :D There is someone on here who knows, I promise. Good luck and happy modding.

OFF TOPIC-What part of Tennessee are you from? I used to live there.

Welcome aboard :) My recommendation would be get a Morroso Cold Air kit, header, Convertor (if your car is an auto), Short throw shifter (if you car is a manual).

If you do a search you will find alot of useful info. Have fun.

Cold Air Intake (CAI)

Then depending on your budget either Hooker Long Tube Headers or Mac shorties.

Trmpt63529 Feb 27, 2003 11:57 AM

i have a manual tranny and i'm from Memphis.... what kind of intake are we talking about? because i currently have "THE LEAK" and i could possibly go ahead an get the new intake

qwick_trip Feb 27, 2003 11:59 AM

you have an oil leak on your intake? is that what your saying?

Trmpt63529 Feb 27, 2003 12:00 PM

i have a question about the headers. do most of them have places for the o2 sensors? My mustang is carbed so i don't have any experience with all these sensors and what not

qwick_trip Feb 27, 2003 12:02 PM

the mac headers do those are good, thats what i got. hooker lt do not.

No, we're talkin about the air filter assy. (filter+tube) That's a cold air intake.

qwick_trip Feb 27, 2003 12:05 PM

well when the said new intake they ment cold air intake. you need to block the egr valve on the back off the intake. they sell plates all the time on ebay.

Trmpt63529 Feb 27, 2003 12:09 PM

well that makes sense .. prolly a lot cheaper than a new intake eh? Why would you block the egr valve if you don't mind my asking

qwick_trip Feb 27, 2003 12:14 PM

the egr circulates hot gases back in to the rear of the intake wich causes oil leaks. you can block it off for about 10 bucks if that.

qwick_trip Feb 27, 2003 12:16 PM

got to projecttransam.com there is a list of install guides there and you will find the egr bypass under exhaust

Trmpt63529 Feb 27, 2003 12:16 PM

okay, and another question... do you have to buy the skip shift eliminator with a new shifter? or can you keep that?
