Default Before I buy..

So I've been browsing forums and decided to go with Alphawerks Headers, Invidia S pipe, and a greddy evo2 exhaust. Before I actually order any of these can anyone give me some input?

I'm dropping it with the hotchkis stage I, getting new rims, tires, rotors, and a lightweight pulley to. Then later down the road I'm going to hit up more things. My end goal is to slap on a supercharger.

is the alphawerks header + invidia s-pipe less than the Weapon R Header + s-pipe? only reason i ask is cuz i think the Weapon R is a better deal IMO since you know it will fit

yes the FMIC means business - plus the blow-off valve - true head-turner

that isnt a bad idea, but yea that would be hard for people to do like hotrice said

but we'd have to limit it to only members that pay since there are a few thousand members but under a hundred regulars...

maybe if we kept it to like 5 or 10 dollars per member per month or bi-weekly with every member having a chance at some point in a 12 month period or something like that

if you dont put in for a week you lose an opportunity at winning the money for that month

we'd have to designate a treasurer

members like navy and boogie and carboncrazy should have less a chance at winning since we are trying to get where they are! LOL

i dunno just spittin ideas...
