Performance upgrades
I was at my dealer today visiting my poor car in the collision center (see my post in pics/vids section) and i noticed that they had a black 128 with the performance upgrades. The 18" rims are sweet although i dont think worth the money. The CF spoiler looks good on the black but i don't think it would be good on other colors (plus i like a clean look). It also had the intake and exhaust installed (they had them listed at just over $1k each). The sound was amazing. Deep and throaty. I did not get to drive it but my CA said the response was much better. It also had the short throw shifter. This was amazing. After fiddling with it for only a few seconds I knew that I was going to install this mod ASAP.
Sorry I don't have too much detail. If you are near central PA, stop by Sun Motors to check it out.

I was looking at the short shifter for maybe a nice christmas present for my 128, the $298 price looks pretty good until I realized it was going to cost over $400 to install. It can wait until the birthday rolls around.
I like the intake and exhaust options - I think if you combined them with a chipped ecu (does anybody know about chips for the 128?) you could see some modest gains, but I'd like to see some actual performance number improvements before dropping 2K on better sound... Hope you 128 gets fixed properly, I used to stare at your 128 pics while mine was in production. Cheers!

I am taking delivery at the performance center, and they'll install there the SSK and the performance steering wheel. Their labor rates are EXTREMELY reasonable.
I do want the intake and the exhaust, but those will have to wait. |

Visit our website if you are interested in accessory parts to personalize your vehicle. I'm offering the short shiter at $236.16 as opposed to the list price of $298.00. Also, I'm willing to work a package deal for exhaust and intake if ordered at the same time
