Well since Im gettin a max soon and I get to start the modding all over again, i was wondering where to start, so I ask you all, if you could only do 4 mods to your car, what would they be? I dont want to hear everyone say SC or turbo either. Please take into account certain economic and monetary situations. So far I think I would do something like:
[list=1][*]lowering springs/struts[*]tint[*]stereo upgrade[*]y pipe[/list=1]

Lets hear from you people!

 

1)Intake
2)Y-pipe
3)JIC Coilovers
4)Stillen Aero kit

 

Intake
Ypipe
Fuel pump upgrade, with adjustable fuel pressure regulator
100 shot(wet)

 

Only 4 mods to a bone stock Max and I'm on a budget...hmmm...

FSTB
RSB
Z rated tires
KYB-AGX's

 

well if on a budget i would

1. RSB
2. Drop
3. STS
4. y-pipe

and if i was dreaming

1. Jic Coils
2. Stillen Kit
3. 18x8 OZ Supperlegera with 235/40 rubber
4. Turbo

 

Only four? Lowering, wheels, red/clears (doesn't count cause you do it yourself ) stillen kit and diamond clears.

 

Y-Pipe
Intake
Greddy exhaust
Turbo

 

SFCs
FSTB
AGXs + springs
RSB

 

rims
drop
rsb
stereo

 

I second that!

 

turbo
turbo
turbo
nitrous

 

springs/struts
wheels/tires
stillen kit
y-pipe

 

A newbie pleas for help:

FSTB and RSB I understand, but SFCs? AGXs? Explanations (or pointers to threads) greatly appreciated.

I do see two different types of thinking in these responses.

One type: More power, more power, more power.

Second type: Handling, handling, handling.

I'm more of a handling type myself, so if I can ask a modified question?

If you were going to do incremental handling mods (2002 SE 6spd) what would you do in what order, and why?

 

SFC's = sub frame connectors
AGX's = kyb agx adjustable struts/shocks

 

rims
suspension(sprint/koni)
complete my A/V setup(all with 7" screens, not my tiny 5s )
eternal engine life and no need for repairs

 

Suspension
Brakes
Engine
Cosmetic

Are the four I'd chose.

 

Handling....
First-get rid of the lousy RE92's and get some good tires(see my sig one sugestion. Watch sizes if you don't change wheels. Search..)
Second-Front strut tower brace along with rear sway bar
Third-Some type of spring/strut combo. Do search and start reading.

 

1. Turbo
2. 15" Drag Wheels
3. 3" Y-pipe
4. JIC coilovers

SLEEPER!

St lowering springs
SFC's
KYB GR2's
And a vg30et engine swap from a 1988 Nissan 300zx turbo

 

 

Since you're on a budget, like me...
FSTB
RSB
JIC's
19" wheels w/ Z rubber

That's my plan so far...

 

jic coilover
rsb
subframe connectors
Z rated tires

 

JIC coilovers
SFC
RSB
Wheels (tires and rims)

Budget:
springs
SFC
RSB
FSTB

 

Suspension
18" Volks w/ tires
Stillen Kit
SC

 

1. FSTB
2. Intake
3. Y-pipe
4. AGX coils

So far, I'm on stage 1.

 

fstb
wheels
red clear tails

if i did something else:
-Struts/springs
-tint
-stereo
-wheels

 

Fuzzy Dice
Fragrant Tree
Seat Belt pads

Blue washer nozzles

1> tornado air off ebay
2> electric super charger off ebay
3> O2 sensor off ebay
4> the funky ooglie intake off ebay

 

 

Since I already have two expensive hobbies, it will be hard to justify (especially to SWMBO) buying new tires until the RE92s are worn out (which, I understand, won't be too long.)

For the FSTB and RSB, should they be done at the same time? If not, which one first?

 

Jeez, all you guys are copy cats.

You started it Bill

 

Ok, how about:


Rustang Rims
Pre-production 1st Cattman VE y-pipe
Halfass VTC repair which allows for coolant leaks into crankcase
"Designed and driven by a Jap" sticker






























Jeff's gonna kill me

 

!

 

 

 

 

If you can only do one at a time because of funds, do the RSB first. Look at the "Group Deals" forum. Cattman has Addco's for a good price right now. $115 shipped.
