94 SC2

It's great to be able to discuss performance add-ons with other owners and find out their opinions.  It sure beats buying on faith or buying based on biased advertising claims.  I thought I'd share my thoughts, opinions, and results with anyone looking to get more enjoyment and performance out of their car.

I assure you that I am a very skeptical person when it comes to claims of a 'huge difference!', and I am being quite conservative in my evaluations.  My 94 SC2's mix of driving is about 70% city, 25% highway, 5% track (road course & dragstrip), and it's a priority that the car maintain driveability and ride quality.  This is my daily-driving car and it sees weather from 100 degrees down to 40 below zero, with quite a bit of snow and rain in between.

I periodically receive e-mail asking why I do not have certain parts.  The reasons are simple: there are a lot of parts out there that either do not perform as described, provide a low amount of bang for the buck, or have no positive benefits whatsoever.

This section includes ALL of the items that I have installed on my 94 SC2 over the years, and not all of them exist on the car at this time.
