Alright you all know that my car is pulling 140kw at the wheels, this is really fun but once the mod bug has bitten it is hard to remedy.
The problem, I have around $600 to spend on my next mod. My car almost looks stock as a rock (except for tinting, debadging and a new front grill). While this is good I am getting to the stage soon where I want the car to atract more attention than a standard magna without attracting to much attention. What should I spend the money on? I want to fit Cold Air Intake to the car, should I bypass this and go strainght onto getting a decent set of 16" rims? Or should I go and get side skirts and a boot spolier?
So the three options
1. Keep going on the engine mods-more power (CAI)
2. Decent 16" rims
3. Side skirts and boot spoiler
I really do not know which one to do

i beleive no matter how much power you will pull it just wont get the amount of respect as if it was more "neatly" presented...mags lowered AT LEAST!

If your car isn't lowered then i would reccomend this first!!!
A set of king springs will set you back $250.00 this month AUD plus postage and you can have them installed anywhere between $120-$250 so shop around on this one. Any mechanic can do it you don't need to go to a suspension shop.

I believe Mr_MBQuart had issues with his warranty and lowering - that is why it is not yet lowered?? Am I right Paul??
And as for fitting - hello ppls in perth - no need to pay $100 plus - I will do it for a few beers!! (;))
Exterior looks - hmm, on a stock car - maybe some sideskirts and rear pods would go nicely!! Talon style is nice! but the spray colourcoding could be pricey.
And i am a big fan of no wings!!

If u got that much power...ull get respect...
who needs visual attention when u get all out respect...
Get a lil air-brushing? Personally i wouldnt bother with side skirts...
get everything colour coded...or get sum sway bars...improve ya handling.
other wise get sum mitsubishi rims with good tyres

YES you will get respect with that power....you wont get the wow factor though...the package isnt complete....but thats his choice on that.....read ya warranty booklet....when i was gonna buy a car with warranty they said that if i changed the springs....the shockers etc would be voided but shocks arent under warranty.....

This leads me to a question... U need to retune the E Manage right? I think you need to cos u'll need new maps for the mods...
PS Can I grab a copy of your Dyno sheet to compare the power increase in your REV range?
Thanks
