yeah for sure. zorst is like the first step to mods, then air intake. other wise to save money just buy the zorst from the cat back (sounds ok,though not the same in proformance) they go for like $250ish :)

dun do anything cos ur gonna lose your license the way your going about it..

from what you have said I gather that a 2.5 inch cat back, 20" chromies on the front with retread snowflakes on the back, and a big ass stereo should get you all smiles... similar to mine :)
you know your obsessed when you talk to your car.. EA S MPI 5 Spd. Lowered, FTRs, Stereo, Tint, Cat back, more coming..

All you EA haters... :roll:

Treat it as a thrashcar :D Just cut 'n' polish (or ignore... like I do) the roof, throw a loud exhaust on, & either get a shorter diff (like from an XR6) or get a manual conversion.

Sell it... then buy $500 MPFI 5 speed one from the paper. Then sell that and buy a good car. Or boost the MPFI 5 speed one and smash some stock SS holdens and VL turbos.

That big racquet looking thing is the intake for the CFI. You cant really get a pod onto that anyway.
Consider a MPFI conversion IMO or get and EB 4.0 :D

multipoint will give you a noticeable gain in performance.
as said
center point looks like a tenis racket.
multipoint is the one with the black box in the very front passenger corner for the air intake.

yes i did. Mate, if your happy with CFI, then just get yourself an exhaust and maybe a LSD. Maybe some 16 inch wheels, lower it a tad, light window tint and you're set. Probably cost you less than $1000 too.. Keep an eye on the classifieds on the site, you might come across something along those lines
