Suggested upgrades from stock?
Just trying to get an idea of what little things should be done to all SVXii and put them in a single place for reference.
In example, for DeLoreans, you HAVE to get all of the 'Zilla' gear after purchasing one if they don't have it already (upgraded window motors, fuse box, fans, etc...). Just trying to put together a list of general, non-aesthetic, affordable upgrades that are suggested. Ones that are either for moderate performance increase, or more importantly, longevity of mechanics. The ones collected so far: $ 50.00 SmallCar Shift Kit $500.00 Raceconcepts rotors, Axxis MM pads and SS brake lines $ 65.00 Alcyone hood emblem (Adds +5 HP!!) $667.00 ECUTune Stage 2 v.5 (Might not be considered 'affordable' and only for '92 - '95...) Perma-cool Transmission Cooler OEM Transmission Filter or Aftermarket PWR Radiator or 93± (All prices are with shipping. If you can provide locations/more info on non-linked stuff, please do.) I'm drawing a blank on anything else... Thanks in advance for your input!

It is "ee-see-you-tune". Electronic Control Unit
I would put trans cooler and filter right at the top. next would maybe be the shift kit. I would then have to say wire upgrade, even though I never bothered doing it to my own. Ecu tune would be next on my list even though I have not done it either. I do plan on doing it soon though.

Don't forget the Stebro and short ram intake! Also, 5MT or 6MT swap.

Quote:
What sort of transmission filter? What's a 93±? Do the PWR radiators eliminate the need for a separate tranny cooler?
