Exhaust, drop in filter, some suspension work...fluid changes...weighted shifter knob...these are all "quick, cheap, easy mods that give good hp (or some performance boost)...so yes I do get it.

Not everyone needs driving lessons to keep from crashing. Some of us have common sense. From his original post, it doesn't sound like he's ready to hit the circuit, just wants to do fun little mods. YOU DON'T NEED PROFESSIONAL DRIVING LESSONS FOR THAT. Get it???

Or he can enjoy his first car for what it has and provides and not waste his money on things he doesn't need or understand.

But then again I don't typically come into threads to flame on posts from posters that had totally valid points and opinions. Flame on buddy.

And who are you to tell him how to enjoy his car? Is your opinion the only "right" opinion?

How about this...when he makes a post saying something along the lines of "how do I prepare for my first time at the track. I'd like to get into racing" then I'll agree with you...but to insinuate everyone needs driving lessons to enjoy this car is...well...whatever...

"Sticker" tires are new tires, they still have the sticker on them.



Thought that was standard knowledge...

I'm not really a car guy, but I just bought my drop in filter. I keep reading about tunes on these forums, but I never understood what it was. Can you please explain?

Also I think I'm done with performance wise. I'm satisfied with the way it is now. But what would be some mods appearance wise? I have the Argento FRS. I think finding things that'll look nice on it color wise is difficult in my honest opinion lol. Whiteout and Raven would be so much easier >.<
