OK, @missbrz, allow us to help you get started.....

What are you going to do with your car? In other words, how are you going to drive it most of the time?

Several choices are: (select one or a combination)

* a daily driver
* spirited driving on curvy roads
* a garage queen (just drive it on nice weekends)
* track car
* auto cross
* a cruiser (long road trips)
* other

What is your age, sex, IQ, weight and occupation (optional inputs... )

Shall we get started .... ??

The GReddy evo3 and intake combo is quite nice. You could probably pick them up cheap used if you don't mind used parts.

Now, you don't have to follow ol @Luis_GT down every pig path he takes......

Before you go throwing money into a perfectly good car, for average driving, I would suggest you ask yourself this question "What do I want my car to do, that it doesn't already do?"

Your answer will lead you to the "appropriate" modifications.

So, what do you want your car to do ..... better, if anything?

(Hesh up, Luis_GT ...... your a bad infulence .... .....)

OK, folks, missbrz is looking for mods.

The car will be a daily driver which will also be driven on weekends.....mostly in Texas.

Knowing the driving routine, what would you suggest for mods .... ??

@missbrz If you want a solid exhaust, mostly quiet on idle, nice rumble on acceleration, you might like the Invidia Q300. If you want a little more low, the eibach pro-kit has great drop that doesn't cause too many camber problems (and require you to buy rear LCAs etc.). That drop with a nice size set of wheels with a decent offset fills the wheel arches pretty well without having to worry too much about rubbing on every bump and scraping on every parking lot entrance.

I feel like this car needs like a handful of things and thats really it to take it from cool to truly awesome:

Drop, Wheels/Tires, Exhaust, Tails (either VHT Red painted or a set of red Toms look great), Drop in filter, Brakes and Brake cylinder brace… if you're doing some spirited daily driving and want to perform a little better than stock and turn even more heads than the car does stock. If you wanna go a little crazier, upgrade both sway bars, maybe strut bar (though I've never felt a difference from this mod on any car I've had), and start doing some engine dress up, etc.

i have

All LED's (switchback turn signals)
Tint/Alarm
red piston badges
Clear side markers
5axis lip spoiler
TRD drop in filter
Header-back Perrin 2.5 resonated exhaust

welcome to the forum! If you dont mind spending the money on exhaust, i'd highly recommend the exhaust i have. Its a very mature deep sound. No rasp. you can hear it when your on the throttle. when idle, you can hear it just a little bit. I myself was very impressed with the difference. Install is easy as well. It was my first time installing exhaust and it was very straightforward. I describe the sound to be very similar to a 370Z or a G37. As for performance i did notice a very nice difference. Before the exhaust i would run with my buddy who drives a VW Jetta Farenheit Edition, it is a sedan but it has a turbo and weighs about 700 more pounds than our car, and he would beat me by at least a car length or more. After the exhaust i can hang with him everytime and keep him right next to me depending on our shifts at the time we run. Do what you will, i only know what i have experienced and i am pleased with it!


Good Luck!

ive heard a lot of people talking abt the invidia N1 and Q300 , been looking at videos as well but till not sure which one is louder , i would like something that has a nice rumble at accelaration and you can still kinda hear it in idle (but dont want the sound of it to bother since it will be a daily driver if that makes sense ) the eibach pro-kit my bro did tell that those would be good so mostly those are the ones ill be going for . i did want to put a strut bar soon ,

haha for the most part I'm fine with. but to give you an idea of how loud it is... my neighbors across the street use it as an alarm clock because I leave at 620 everyday. on dsport's youtube channel they did a decibel test on a a few common exhausts.
