Only problem now is that Mecury wants to look for the parts cheaper themselves.... we will see how that goes.
they can find a radiator at radiatorbarn.com for $105

I drive the same car and had Infamous do the stage 1. Love it, big difference. Looking to do something similar with your other upgrades so keep up the posts.

Nope. Nor cal and not a mechanic by trade. Learning from the group here and legacygt. These cars are different than any other I've owned. Keep us in the loop how it goes.

I got my stage 1 today. Definitely wayyyyyy more linear. Pulls like a monster.

I talked to Shamar (hope i spelled that correctly).
I need to use my tax return effectively.

I want more power. I may hold off on the wheels/drop - unless a good deal comes around.

Im in LA area (Lomita).

Getting close to having the funds to do some more work. I posted over at LGT to get a good idea/direction of what the best route to more, inexpensive power is.

Really not sure on bigger turbo vs downpipe.
