I am a frist time car buyer. I recntly went to a car auction and purchased a 99 Magna. Its a 5 sp manual and has low Ks. It was a finanse company repo and there fore it had a 4000 dollar Stero and low profile mags. I paid very little for the car and now have some money to mod it. I have little experence with mods in cars and need advise on what I sould do frist and how to go about doing it. Any advise would be great apresiated thank you very much.

3L or 3.5L?

Firstly;

Get a Lukey LR2779 muffler on the rear, the piping is fine;
then K&N CAI kit;
then some Pacemaker or RPW extractors.

Secondly;

Some safety mods.. DBA Slotted Rotors or Some AWD/RalliArt Magna Brakes,
Some lowered King or Lovell or other Springs;
Some nice performing Shocks and;
Whiteline Strut Braces n Sway Bars.

Now to complete Stage 1..

An Oversized or high flowed throttle body;
Aftermarket GReddy eManage;
and some Stage 1 RPW Cams.

If I forgot something.. someone please correct me!

The brands I mentioned do not have to be what brands you get.. they are just brands that popped into my head.. there are many many other brands out there!
