ask him what he wants out of the car.

I'd go all suspension, corners are just more fun.

This really shouldnt be in the suspension forum. IBTM.

My first mod was my dc tcs and dc ss header. Unless you want to include my taillights as a mod.

Save your money and don't get intake or header. My first mods were small, like headlight bulbs, then clearing the lights. I wasted alot on stupid mods that I don't have anymore like intake, tezzas, and more. Don't fall into that trap. Turbo is really the only engine mod worth getting. Focus on enhancing the exterior with rims, kit, etc. Although that DH-racing crank pulley looks promising.

well i got the system first, but i don't count that as a mod....my first mod was an aem cai. its cheap, does absolutely nothing for performance, but makes the car sound nice. suspension would be a good starting point though
