I'd avoid the "tuner" street glow type stuff like the plague, but that's just me.

Philly215 0 #8 August 22, 2007 What would you go with asides from the body kit and exhaust? I'm hearing the supercharger will blow the headers and just be an overall bad idea for an everyday car. http://www.saleen.com/SC101_Services/SC101_Shopper/showItem.php?menuId=13&itemNum=075-158 http://www.saleen.com/SC101_Services/SC101_Shopper/showItem.php?menuId=18&itemNum=10-1300-A11503* Exhaust and suspension. Cold air intake and sct tune. That's all I was really thinking of for performance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it really depends on what you want to actually -do- with the car. Are you looking for something more flashy or are you interested in taking it to the track or what?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #11 August 22, 2007 ditch the ugly rims and maintain the damn thing, remember if you want a real race car, go buy one. If you want a car to be there for you day and night, year after year don't start fucking with it. Maybe a K&N air filter is all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rims I was going to go with are light, they're 20 and fit the wheel well great and their lighter then the stock 17s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #15 August 22, 2007 Hmmm, what to do, what to do . . . Tires and Wheels -are- a good place to start I guess. HP-wise I think dollar for dollar chipping the car is probably your best bet if you don't want to add a blower, but the Saleen blower is -really- nice and only a moderate amount of boost. Enough to notice, but not so much that you'll blow anything up. At least that what Steve keeps telling folks.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want a faster car, save your money up and buy one. Cosmetic things are ok sometimes, but be tasteful. You can easily do many a wrong thing to that car. But to each his own.

Gawain 0 #20 August 23, 2007 There are so many aftermarket bits and pieces out there. If it were me, I'd upgrade the wheels, tires, brakes, and suspension first. Leave the engine alone for a while, it's plenty strong, and any @ss can go fast. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

jbrinkman 0 #21 August 23, 2007 dont waste your money man. before i got into jumping. i put a blow off valve, chipped, cold air intake on my 1.8 gti. now that i think about it, i could have spent that money on more jumps. i was just bored i guess. personally i think making an average car fast is dumb. if you want to spend $ making a car fast, buy a fast car with the extra money. and omg if you live in CA look into buying a legal CAI. i ran into problems with mineLive Love Learn FLY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFreefall383 0 #22 August 23, 2007 It's a Mustang GT convertible. Don't modify it, that's an A-to-B car, whether you like it or not. With a coupe, I would've suggested taking it to some autocrosses, seeing what the car's really capable of in stock form, and once you're comfortable with how it handles high-load corners, then start slowly modifying it piece by piece, intention and purpose in every part. Don't just modify a car for the sake of modifying it. Especially if it's got some stock power and handling."If at first you don't succeed... well, so much for skydiving." - aviation cliche Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So basically for the extra rwhp and a couple mpg, intake tune exhaust and lighter wheels for looks. Maybe a saleen suspension for nicer handling, asides from that, leave it be? Someone turned the exact car into a track car, running 904 rwhp. Waste of $ in my opinion and now its a track car. I just wanna get a little more horse power. Aside from the vette, if I put a supercharger on it I could take everything stock including the gto but the gas mileage and blowing headers didn't seem worth it haha.
