Some Interesting Mods for GT

Postby bonski » Tue Feb 12, 2008 9:17 pm

Was bored so had a bit of a sift through japanparts

Intercooler Fan Kit AU $506.64 - Curious as to whether this is a benefit or a detriment.

Image

Prova BY WIRE THROTTLE CONTROLLER $478.66 - One for the spirit booster crew - this one appear adjustable (unless this is the actual spirit booster) - I was never fortunate enough to see one in the flesh

Image

Tommy Kaira Top mount $AU $4,061.38 :shock: (bargain of the century)

Image

Rear Garnish AU $221.72 About as pointless and ugly as it gets.

Image

Genome 17" Alloy wheel set AU $1,732.30 OK it can get worse.

Anyone care to explain why the Tommy Kaira top mount costs over $4,000? Is it gold plated? Increase power by 200kw? Or does the top mount cost $1,000 but another $3,000 for the copyrighted name Tommy Kaira painted in red on top?

Wow, even their catback exhaust costs over $3,500.

And yet I am sure there are some Lib GT owners out there that have some of the gear mentioned above.

Each to their own I guess.... those wheels are just plain yuck!

I'd like to see if the fan helps. It's like forced induction for a forced induction engine :D

Wheels and rear garnish are bad.

Prova DBW controller seems like a bandaid solution. This is just a bigger bandaid than the Sprintbooster, and it's adjustable! For the price though, you get added adjustability over a Sprintbooster.

Tommykaira stuff - overpriced I don't know if it's that good. Have you seen how much the side stripe sticker is??

Surely the fan just keeps air flowing over the intercooler when you are moving slowly or not all.....but who needs lots of power (cooler charge) when you are not moving, or slow? I have heard of water sprays onto the intercooler in hot climes...

band aid solution... everything is a bandaid solution. only way u fix it is switch to mechanical...

Alot of cars run fans, they do work.
