Best upgrade for the money?
I haven't done much to my car (yet)... but so far, but I love the Momo steering wheel.... It's smaller, chunkier and has a great feel....
What have you done that you are particularry happy with?

Hi Mamoroso,
thanks for the kind words on my car,!!
Dansk single in dual out for sound, momo for the interior and chrome fuchs for the exterior.
Not necessarily in that order.

I think the turbo tie rods, short shifter and sport engine/tranny mounts are nice for the $$$

Turbo tie rods for sure plus fully sorting the suspension by lowering a little and corner weighting.
Buy the best tyres you can too....Bridgestone SO3's for example.

I installed Bilsteins (replacing the original Boge's), and that made a big difference. It depends on what you're looking for, but a suspension refresh/upgrade will make her feel like a different/better handling car.

Love the wheels Chaz, I have the Momo wheel and ****. Still thinking about doing the Fuchs. Other than that, I fix all that needs fixin to keep the car as "perfect" as possible and still be a driver.

Hi Matteo:
Here is what I tell all of our customers:
1) Suspension upgrades (tailored toward how you use the car and many options)
2) A GOOD chip
3) Exhaust upgrade (many options!)
3) Steering wheel & seating
4) 7x16 & 8x16 Fuchs wheels (move the current 7x16 rears to the front and buy 8x16's)
Hope this helps,

ok... great inputs everybody
So my car has:
- Turbo tie rods
- Cross drilled rotors
- Fuchs 7s and 8s
- 2-point strut brace
- S03 pole position
- Momo wheel and gearknob
- Rennline Pedal set (with dead pedal)
I'd like to do the following not necessarily in order
1) Driver ed
2) Chip
3) exahust
4) suspention
For #1 I am a member of the local PCA and will check with them for the next avaliable.
2) Everybody swears by this Steve Wong chip.... If I get it what else do I need to do? Can I put it on myself? What if I then decide to go for a free-flow muffler (BTW what is this exaclty?). Will I need to have the chip reprogrammed?
3) Can I get a dual out and no premuffler? what does the premuffler do? What is a free-flow exhaust? Will I pass the state emissions? How much will these cost?
4) A set of Blistein will set me back $1,200.... that's quite a lot.. I think I am going to wait a little bit on this... (it's not as if my car is that bad as it is...)
Anyway thanks again for your inputs!!!!!

Mamaroso,
#2...............yes you can put a single in dual out on without a pre-muffler, I just put a Dansk on...........cost is approx. $650..............you will have to cut a hole in your rear valance to accomodate the extra tip. SEE PIC.
