I have a 93 Probe GT & I am Looking Into a Body Kit Since that is Going to Be One of the Most Expensive Things I am Going to Do to it & I Should Have the Cash In a couple weeks....

I am Thinking About the NEO CW From Here, Or Possible the Sinsei... There is a Very Limited # of Kits on teh Market For this Car so this Kinda Cuts Down on Choices But If anyone Has any other input from elsewhere Feel Free to Post...

Thanks

Tech

Edit: & There Will Be No Overly Large Wing, Or Yellow Stickers Going on my Car...
Edit2: Some of the Kits Can Be Seen Here

God Damn That's Fricking Annoying.

Buy a Turbo Kit Instead Of A Body Kit. Body Kits Are for Riceboys.

Just curious, why do you capitalize your words like a book or movie title? (not trying to mock you, just honestly curious)

As for body kits, I don't think I've ever seen one on a Probe, and don't much look forward to doing so, but out of those....I'd say the Sinsei just because the hoodscoop on the CW doesn't appeal to me if it doesn't actually enhance performance.


hope I didn't sound like I was flaming your thread, just had a bad day, so you're getting my honest reaction. :p

Turbo For This is Gonna Wait till TMT Finishes Testing the Twin Turbo Setup & Realeses it to the Public.... I See No Point In Turboing Now Just to Pay the 3k+ again in a Year....

don't listen to all the american muscle heads... body kits are sweet... i'm liking the Sensei... i'd say go with that... in a matte color with some nice mags that would be a sweet car... make sure it's got the balls to back it up though... so i'd say a turbo kit or some other engine mods should definatly be in order...

Note consistant use of future intents. Your going to get the body kit and find out their gay. They never fit right, they cost a forture to get properly installed CORRECTLY, and your cheap paint job will flake and chip within 1 year. My estimate is about $3,000 thrown in the trash, not to mention the value of your car is going to be LESS then if it were stock. Save your money - you'll regret it.

P.S. Your Probe will ALWAYS be slow.

Why are you getting a top-mount intercooler Einstein? Heat travels upwards, your intercooler will be on top of your engine (in case you haven't figured that one out yet), hence more heat-soak. Dude, if you're planning to drop your fVcking life savings on this do it right, front mount.

Probes have great lines from the factory. Why do you want to go and wrap a big ol turd around it?

The Razza and Sigma kits on that page are the only ones that look ok.

I will laugh at you when my engine swapped 85 CRX leaves you far behind. For less money that you paid just for your car.
so far:
koni sport shocks (yellow is such a beautiful color for shox)
1.5" drop rear springs
21mm torsion bars up front, 1.5" drop
Engine swap - JDM ZC 40% more power than stock
Homemade CAI
ported JDM 4-2-1 header
AVS Intermediates on 95 GSR alloys
gutted interior brings car's dry weight to 1800lbs.

Take that power to weight ratio and stuff it up your ass!

Oh and make sure your body kit doesn't make you less aerodynamic

Because twin turbo is better right? Why the hell do you want a TWIN TURBO setup? Your going to have problems regulating the sequential turbo setup. That's why most people with TT Supra's and RX7's get serious with the likes of singular turbo's such as T78's.

Dude, just admit it you want a gay body kit and some 22" bling-bling wheels. We may as well sign you up for the Icy Hot Stuntaz now.

I like the NEO CW. Don't let them discourage you from decorating YOUR car. Personally, I'm more into go than show, but TT setup? Whoa. I mean, seriously, you will be dumping soooooooooooooooo much money into your car that soon enough, you could own a Porche 911 turbo. If you love your Probe, go for it. Don't go halfway, but all the way. If not, I would personally keep your car stock, maybe an Intake, but that is it and save for a Z28, Vette, BMW, Lexus or whatever.

Just my $0.02. Good luck

FlameFest.. Why don't you just give the man some advice on what looks best... the thread has gone completely off topic, for no good reason.
