O ya I am also pretty sure the takeda intake is a dry filter where the stillen is an oiled filter, so that's another +1 it will not require the maintenance like the oiled filters do!

Also if you decide to go with race grade fluids for brakes and clutch, then you better also be getting the braided lines for both of them. Other wise you will still have the mushy feel!

I really like the sound I've been hearing from the Takeda short ram. What is the difference(other than length and only 1 filter) from the Takeda attack?

I haven't heard the attack, but how does it compare to the short ram?

Also I feel that window tint is a worthy investment for looks and most of all to save my interior. I'm looking for something in the middle, not super dark and not super light. Just something to compliment the color and bring out the red in the wheels just that much more. what % would be recommended?

The short rams = less power then the takeda attack which is a cold air. I would think the takeda attack has similar gains to other cold air intakes like the stillen gen 3 etc.

I would get 20% tints. A little dark at night but perfect for daytime. Anything darker you start getting **** from cops and anything lighter you won't be happy.

15% tint, just did CAI and Megan Racing exhaust. Great sound and noticeable increased acceleration.

I was sold on dropping her an inch and pushing the wheels out when I saw ScottmanZ's 40th in person. On Saturday we parked mine behind his and the improvement was obvious...wish we had taken a picture. Next Sonic meet maybe we'll do that. So, IMO this is a must. I've been sold on the Swift R-spec spring for the lower based on the reported ride improvement.

The stock exhaust sounds pretty good but I prefer both the sound and look of the Fast Intentions exhaust. I am getting the 18" resonators thinking that if I want it a little louder I can add high flow cats. In addition to the better look and sound (IMO) you get the added benefit of a decent hp increase.

Being in CA, if you plan on taking yours to the track or drive in the 'very spirited' category you should seriously consider an oil cooler.

My 2 cents.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT= All other mods suck until you boost. Then when the car out powers itself then you can see how each mod plays a key role in the cars ability to perform under high performance conditions. Just my opinion of course

No better feeling then rolling into a turn at about 85 mph while being sucked to the door from the gs, drop a gear and as it ends and put the pedal down and accelerate to about 175 mph! I get a stiff thinking about it. Takes decent suspension, tires and a ton of powa. I installed my turbo kit pretty much before any mod and every mod done after that you can feel the difference each one had made on the car by how it acted.

Even without "spirited driving" I've had my oil temps above 240. Its a definite must have and a good investment as a first mod. But if your looking for stuff that will make an immediate difference in your daily driving it'd be suspension, intake, exhaust, or FI. That being said don't rush it and take your time deciding what exactly you want. Don't be like me and go through 3 exhaust systems before stumbling upon litespeed titanium. Wish i knew about it earlier and probably could've used the money on other stuff :/
