good to start is exhaust, air filter upgrade, lower spring and shocks
documents.php have a read through.... oh and if your not mechanically minded i highly recommend upgrading your knowledge with a manual get a MC ellery's workshop manual from supercheap $50....best upgrade you could ever get

I would start with Extractors (Pacemaker 4499's are recommend) then a good 2.5inch Sports Exhaust, these can be tricky to fit without a hoist. Then either make a custom pod filter setup or get a K&N Filter with a XH Snorkel if you can find one and then if you want more power after that look at a Cam + Headwork !

Sorry guys forgot to say that i've already upgraded to a two and a half inch sports exhaust system. When i got that fitted i asked for a quote a full performance system which would have included extractors and a high flow catalytic convereter tho a friend of mine said that i a high flow cat was a waste of money. what do u guys think? I checked out a thread for installing an xh snorkel and it seems extremely straight forward so should have no problems with that once i get the part.
I have the Gregory's workshop manual but its fairly vague and har to understand so might keep an eye out for the MC ellerys one. |

standard cat will do the job fine so id keep it unless you have to replace....
what is your goal for this car bud? ie sleeper, cruiser, show, drag, circuit?

The Xh Snorkel is good increases throttle response ! The only hard part of it is getting the snorkel !

well for daily i suggest pod filter mod, xh snorkel, shocks and spring and brake upgrade, that should make it more enjoyable to drive, but trust me it wont stay at simple mods lol

nah i'm gonna stay away from the pod filter cos i've heard they dont do much different than a highperformance panel filter anyway and then i wont have to worry about heat shielding it and everything too

^ Thats a good idea keep it simple ! You can always customize later anyway and sell the K&N Panel if you get one for enough for a pod !
