The only way I'd put a lentech into my car was if there was a small block ford in front of it.

Just buy a zx3 for cheap and dump your money into it.

-KYB Shocks & H&R 1.5" drop lowering springs, complete set $684.90
-FS turbo water line kit $89.95
-FS turbo oil drain upgrade kit $69.95

Labor broken down...

-Turbo Stage 1 & 2 $700.00

Dont forget this includes full Dynojet tuning and testing. This will give
you print outs of HP & TQ along with airfuel ratio.

W/o tax or you driving/shipping the car to them you are at almost 6k.

tax would be about $400.

You know, $800 I could prob get you a camaro that needs a new motor, $5200 into it and you'd come out way faster with a lot more potential......

Hell, I bet you could buy Kyle's zx3 and slap a power works in it, and have money left over.

I guess if I had 6k laying around, I wouldn't bother putting it into either car I own, but, if I did, it would still be faster then that poor zx5 8)
