94 3000GT SL BASIC MODS...? - 11/23/2006 10:42:08 AM    heavyfoot86   Posts: 1 Joined: 11/23/2006 Status: offline I got my 94 3000gt SL over 2 yrs ago from a private seller with 90K and paid 6,000 for it, good deal? Neways I wanna ask is the K&N filter intake without the tube better or the Injen IS intake with the tube AND filter better? There is like a $25 difference. Also are Kumho tires good for the car? And last for now, is borla the only exhaust for it? Let me know the right intake and exhaust and any other basic mods bc I just wanted to start putting stuff into it, The car is black with a custom paint job 5spd. Thank you it has 222hp and 205 tq, how much will the intake and exhaust push it to? thanks guys Post #: 1

Sorry but you are a little nieve about this. Since when has mitsubishi got any car 100% perfect? NEVER. Your statement is very generalised and retarded! _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'''', and thats just what they''''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to n5926g) Post #: 6

I have seen that happen to honda boys before.. funny **** I have also seen a n/a car with a peice of pipe running to a FMIC with an air filter on the other end of the FMIC... too funny. _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'''', and thats just what they''''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to n5926g) Post #: 10
