I got some nice money from christmas and sellin my paintball gun, and was gonna blow the whole, wopping 300 bucks on my car... i'm not sure what to get though... i may go to an auto glass store and get my windows polished (there is an inch thick line of scratches going down each window from who knows what) and then after that is done, get my windows tinted... or cold air intake and some other things... i'm not sure though, a little help would be nice :thumbsup:

Sno, I HIGHLY suggest that you get one of Naich's intakes . The CAI's a great intake, ( I own and use one ) and there's not a doubt in my mind that his WAI is of equal quality. His prices can't be beat, and they look and sound as nice as the price. Even if you went with the more expensive CAI, you'ld STILL have $225 bucks to get your windows tinted, or to buy some lowering springs. ( That's if the prices are the same as they were when I bought mine )

Just my .02


Merry Christmas Sno.

Like he said about the springs, you can find the springtech's about 150 if I remember right.

the window scratches will come back if you don't fix the problem. See this for more info: http://upgrades.aleromod.com/glass_scratch.htm

damn, i may have to take it to an olds dealer and see if they can straighten it out 4 me... thats interesting TY, and i odn't really wanna get lowering springs right b4 winter... kinda lame lol, idk... but yeah, how much are Naich's intakes? if he still makes em, i'd look into it... and also i'd like to hit up a silver AMod.com Decal in the near future, cuz my old ones stuck to the paper and never stuck to the window wahhh lol, ummm but yeah, i really wanna get my windows tinted, my car would look so much better... and an intake would def make it sound nice and add to the mad hp factor lol

Yeah cocoa, that sounds about right, $140-$150, plus shipping, so say, $175 total. Found on this site. B) BTW, the Springtechs and Sprint springs are the same thing. Same color, same drop, same spring. I think that for whatever reason, the Springtechs actually price out cheaper though? I forget...it's been awhile......


About the Naichspeed intakes for the 3.4, The only way to know for sure about availability is to PM him.

Here's the thread, and from what I gather, it looks as though he's still selling them. I never saw anything about him putting a halt to producing them, but hey, I could be wrong. It doesn't hurt to ask him though....

Hope this helps, sno. :thumbsup:

That's it YB. Yeah, it's been a while since I got mine, I just about forgot how much they were. Great bang for the buck for sure! :thumbsup:
Handles like a mofo too.

yes, the scratches are on ALL FOUR (grrr) of my windows on the outside, i'm not sure if tint would just bring out the scratches or hide them... any of you that have tint have this problem? if so, does it kind of hide the scratches?

also, how much do the springtech's drop? like an inch? i'm not looking for a really drastic drop for my car... just enough to shorten the gap between the top of the wheels and the wheel wells

if you don't care about used stuff check out the bazaar, you can get some good shizzle for alot cheaper, and you can help out your fellow aleromodders at the same time. Also buy a VIP membership, it helps out the site, you get a deal on come stuff, and you get some stickers for free.

Sno, they'll settle to about 2" of drop.

I may sell my wheels and tires, I'm kicking the idea around.

since these springs are relatively cheep, do you still get an improved ride? or is it stiff and bumpy? i'm just curious

Yeah, it's a bit bumpier and stiffer ride. I think it also will depend on the condition of your streets too (potholes and such). Not too many potholes around here (roads don't really freeze), so I don't really have much trouble with that.
You may scrape here and there though.
The handling is great, you won't regret it. It won't be a 350Z or anything, but will be good.
