Welcome to the club mate. These questions get asked so often and they can't easily be answered so people can get a bit tetchy;).
Firstly try reading through the FAQ here (http://www.wermspowke.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) and then use the search function up the top to search for specific items.
If you are still feel confused about something feel free to post up a question. Have fun and enjoy your car. :)

In all honesty the biggest bang for your buck will be a manual conversion.

:stoopid: could'nt agree more:think:

get yourself a K&N panel air filter, a good quality exaust system from the cat back (hi flow cat if you want a little extra) and see how you go after that. dont get cut and shut muffler go with a well know name and get the full system. I got a factory mitsu sports system but it wasnt too cheap. Guys on here use redback, lukey and there are a few others. Start with these and if you get really excited get some extractors and maybe a piggyback ECU

I think by the time you do all that, you could probably have done a manual conversion for the same money. They are all good mods though if you dont want/like the manual idea.

yeh all are good mods, but as 2 have said already, go with a manual conversion, but look out for the prices you will get quoted might send you into shock hahaha :shock:


but if you can source out a cheap manny box then go for the manual conversion, will have more gains than an exhaust system with an aftermarket air filter :thumbsup:

I wish people would understand that some people don't want a manual gearbox and just simply want a little more kick out of their cars :).
Extractors, CAI, aftermarket filter, full high-flowing exhaust. That should do you for now. If you want to get into more modding, you can go cams etc.

Well he didnt actually say he never wanted a manual, he just stated that he wants more kick out of his auto, dude if u dont wanna do a manual conversion then go with what others have said above, although without a manual gearbox those mods wont have the same affect as they would with a manual!!!

cheers

Yeh i'm just sick of seeing everytime someone posts what mods they want to do, the first that's said is "manual conversion". Sure it might give you more go, but some people dont want manual, otherwise they would have bought one in the first place (assuming they've only just bought the car).
Eg. Some people may drive in peak hour alot, though that kinda counter-acts the need for performance mods lol. But i hope you get what i'm trying to say :).

Yeh defintley mate!! it was the first thing i was told when i asked the same question, back when i was a nOOb, and even till this day ppl are still going to say the same thing cuz the manuals are ten times quicker than the auto's, although a lot of ppl dont have manual licenses etc which is why they hate hearing *Convert to manual* and it also can cost alot of money to do so, but yeh i know where ya coming from mate, but then again he was asking what would be the best mods for his auto, so in this case would be a manual conversion!! hahahah we cant win lol

manual or auto you can see good performance gains, i had an auto maggas before my vrx, and they have plenty of poke, and are a lovely car to drive, i recomend, pacemaker extractors, 2.5 inch exhaust, and 2.5 inch strait flo muffler, prob around $1300 all up fitted, but check around. after that look at the air intake system

Yes, I get annoyed by reading "convert to manual". I drive a Verada which can be even more fiddling to convert to Manual (not mechanically wise, just paperwork etc) and I prefer my Auto anyways, beats changing gears continuously in bust traffic.

And to answer the original question - see my signature.

Manual Conversion

Manual Conversion
That was a completely unbiased opinion :P.

Seems like everyone including myself who suggested manual conversion got cut down for all the wrong reasons. He didn't specify what kind of mods he wanted at all and people suggested the best power at wheels/money mod was a manual gearbox. Maybe the OP looked to buy a manual and couldn't find one and settled for auto, or maybe wanted an auto gearbox... we're just giving suggestions.

If you dont have a problem with manual -- do a conversion, if you wanna keep auto -- do the breathing mods.

consider lowering and better rubber, better handling will go a long way to help your car feel more sporty, that added to the exhaust mods and intake, i rekon youll start to have a pretty fun magna.

i have a manual vrx which i must admit is pretty nice in the manual, but the autos are much better for city driving, and coupled with some mods, can be very quick, nothing wrong the go old auto.

hhaha lol.. thats because his car isn't a MANUAL but an AUTO.. so how could he ask to mod his MANUAL if its AUTO?

twin turbo install, should do the trick
