[quoteost_uid0="rupewrecht"][color=#000000ost_uid0]i think a few worthwhile mods would be:

Power:
*Catback exhaust, as the standard system is 2" pre muffler anyway(so i've been told)
*Cold Air induction + Panel filter - pods arent that much better if at all
*Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator - only a maybe, but makes a difference on an NA car -mine did

Handling:
*Rear Sway Bar - one of the best mods i did
*Front Tower Brace/Strut Brace
*Adjustable Camber Bolts - for the front, only a maybe, but if you have a tower brace you need them

i know you didn't want to go bigger wheels, but the handling benefits of a set of 16x7's would make a huge difference to the handling and grip of the car

cheers

[color=#736AFFost_uid0]That is great Dan!!!!

Next step is who and how.

For the exhaust, I can pretty much go to an exhaust shop I know of. Hopefully he will do right by me there.

Cold Air induction + Panel filter ~ where do I get them, who can fit them, how much will it cost?

I really want to do this stage in May when I get back from QLD. Prolly at same time I get exhaust done.

Fuel Pressure Regulator????? This one is new to me...
*goes off for more research* but still interested in the how much for parts, who will fit it, is it simple enough to do at home, how much difference did it make on your car????

Sway bar has been ordered, w00t!
The rest of your handling suggestions will have to wait until after I get prices/costs/research completed, and of course the October rubber change methinks...........

I just cannot afford the 16x7's, although there was a set of something similars for sale..... hrmmmmm, depends on how cheap and as long as they aren't chromies, much prefer alloy!
We shall see......... And I will be honest and say I prefer to pay for replacement rubber at 15" prices!!!!
Call me cheap and all I will say is that I have to afford to live as well as have a car.
I would rather be honest and up front about where I am at and what I want to achieve than pull your chain and bull**** on.

Now... about this rising rate fuel pressure regulator...???[/colorost_uid0]
