My car, my money, my mods...
 
:party0030:

I decided to post my experience with the car. Its fun to drive.. thats it.

I was going to wait till august for mod start. but I decided earlier. My goal is to provide a pleasurable experience.. No rice here..

Steps

1. Short Shifter ---- TWM performance (bought)
2 lightened flywheel
3. Clutch
4. Exhaust
5. Intake
6. Brakes
7. Miscellaneous
8. Wheel tire combo
9. Suspension drop

Yes in that order. Miscellaneous will happen at the same time. I want the car to perform well, not looking for a tune at this moment. I dont want a fast car. I want the car to be fun to drive. Thats why i start with a short shifter.

Also the goal is not spend a ton of money. It defeats the purpose to buy a cheap car. Not criticizing other builds, its just for my purposes. No exterior modifications, because i want the car to look stock. There is a reason for my step approach. I want to feel the difference all this makes as go trough.

Of course, tires are not important, i got a lot of rubber to burn. :confused0068:. After a couple of months od driving this car, im familiarized with the nannies...

Pics, who needs pic, you all know what my car looks like, its white,.

I would totally trade my set of volk cv-pro for those in a heart beat

yes they are, but they did not fit the frs, because of the hub size. so they went on the other baby... :happyanim:
