Or a tune and header combo, either way, the car will pick up much more noticeably |

I need to double check, but I think when the transmission is in Sport mode (even when manual shifting) it will allow you to downshift into a higher RPM. I've had the car downshift in auto mode with Sport turned on at very high RPM, to the point of surprising me (not on a track, always in manual shift mode on the track). I want to say from memory that it will downshift into the 6k range... |

Old gear out, new gears going in, just waiting for a shim from Scion.
I ordered my exhaust today, DC Sport header, Over Pipe, and Front Pipe. And Perrin resonated 3" exhaust. I'll have the header ceramic coated before installing it. Due to a vacation it will not get installed until later this month. Then after installing it and my new cold air intake it's off to the Dyno shop. |

I got my car back from the shop with my 4.88s today. I can really feel a difference, esp starting from a stop sign, very easy to break the stock tires lose if your not carful.
Cruze 60 mph is 2400 rpm, 70 mph was 2700 rpm. I can live with that. Haven't done and acceleration runs yet. That will come later, to darn hot today to run with out AC. |

You'll have to let us know if that DC Sports front pipe works out for you. A few people on the forums had some pretty bad fitment issues with it.

Been a while since I have posted. lot has happened. The DC header was not available so I went with a equal length header from "Top Speed" I thought it was a pretty nice looking header for 400 bucks. Haven't got it back yet, still at the coaters being ceramic coated.
This will mate up with Perrin resonated 3". |

Made myself a gauge cluster. 2 1/16th gauges. Engine oil and tranny temps, and boost for possible future FI.

I don't have a picture but installed H&K super sport springs just to get it down a bit for appearance. Have Nitto NT0-1 tires and tomorrow my new Enki RPF1 wheels will be in.
I also installed Project MU Club Racer brake pads. Boy do they work nice. |

Got together with my neighbor why is a custom painter and works with carbon fiber to make a pair of vented fender inserts. You can really feel the heat coming out of these things.

Installed a Mishimoto oil cooler, a cold air intake, and a set of Perrin pulleys. Yes, I did put the pulley guard back on the alternator.

And tonight I painted my tail lights.
So that's it for now. Just minor, mostly cosmetic toys and bling to have fun with. |
