What did you buy today?

For those who have not followed me since day one. I am currently in the process of working with Tork to get a solid set of tunes out for the 6 speed forte. Another member here is working with him for the automatic platform.
So as far as the tune goes, if you have any questions about it feel free to shoot me a pm or post here on this thread. I can directly answer any questions regarding drivability/mpg/power/ etc. Also if there is anything more technical that you need to ask I can also do my best to answers. But either way I am in constant contact with both John and James, so it will be very easy to get a quick answer

As far as what I plan on doing.
I have also been working with Tork to get my forte hitting some great power numbers
The subject of an upgraded stuffed stock turbo is in the works (slowly but surely)
Also will be taking advantage of the amazing rods/Pistons that will be available to make this bottom end bulletproof. Also will be including a Methonyl kit for cooling/ cleansing purposes. But also adds power hand in hand at the same time
In the end run I am shooting for the mid 300s
This will not only be very powerful, but also reliable. Best of both worlds

As far as any other question you have about any mods that you are wanting to get for your car. Please feel free to pm me or post here. There are many parts available for the forte that aren't quite out there in the open yet. If you have anything you want and don't know where to get it. There is only one answer to that question. TORK.

I will be posting all of my results and progress with my build as the weeks progress. This will all be in my build thread that I am working on posting in the coming days

anyway, please share your story/mods
Should be fun to see what others are doing

Ok since i am on my phone and i cant type a crap load like mr. Knee i will try to keep it short lol

My car is the a/t forte5 that he is talking about that is working with john and james at tork for the tune. I got the tune a few weeks after i bought the car. John wanted to see if he could tune the forte cars and found out he could so it helped open up the option for us.

Since then i have put the following on my car....

Tork tune (still working on some hicups for a/t peeps)
Tork pipe
Upgraded hotpipe to 2.5"
6th 3.5" cai
75a dogbone bushings
2.5" axle back with upgraded tips
2 add w1 catch cans
Prosport boost gauge
Gutted midpipe cat
Resonator delete on midpipe
1 step colder ngk spark plugs (cant remeber the number)

Like knee said ask us anything you would like about the tune or upgrades. We are both in contact with john and james at tork.

I am also working with jim at pierce performance about suspension upgrades and a few other things.

Oh and i am looking at trying to be one of the few if only a/t car hitting 250-300whp

I'm pretty modest for my plans

Springs
Rpf1 in gold or bronze
Fmic with new bov
Meth
Tune
Prob rear cat and reso delete

My goal is to have a quick car but still OEM comfort hense the reason I got rid of my do gone bushings

Prob going to do some other stuff so we will see what happens

well the past week or so i spent completing all the major transitions for my build
I have also got my machine shop in check per all the work i will need. I was just there last week and went over the whole build so he knows all the stats. This guy is the best of the best when it comes to any type of machine work/block work etc....
I also put in an order for the upgraded LPFP. The reviews for this have been great since day one even if you are stock. But either way i don't want any problems down the line
I am not fond of the idea soley because of cost, but i am considering purchasing an LSD that is available for this platform. Its quite a big chunk of change and i feel as if i won't use it to its potential for how much i will be spending. We will see what happens. Either way, whatever direction i go i will be happy.
Received my new plugs today also. Brisk racing QRS08 heat range 10.. these bad boys will do the deed when i receive the new updated 1.5 tune. They will also be sufficient when i am built and have the upgraded turbo.
