"1. Define your goal. Are you simply trying to make your car look nicer, building it for street racing, drag racing, autoX, track, or a show car. Maybe it is a combination of more than just one of these, if so, be sure which one is more important because they may conflict each other."

What are your goals?

You got mostly what I have done to my car.. Do you have cat back exhaust? If not then get y-pipe, some tests or HF.. If you already got that then how about headers? If you need a new clutch, how bout a stage1 clutch and flywheel? Just some suggestions, you should really make ur own decision, but this is what I am doing.. I also have a ecu flash on my car but I really wish I waited till I get headers, it would of been so much more worth it after I get headers.

your car needs a tune - utec, osirus, haltech, depends what your long term goals are, and what your present budget is. It is likely it is running quite lean

obviously it is for you since you are asking what you should do to your car. if i am not mistaken, that means you are undecided on what to do.



but then again, since you wanted a suggestion here you go; take all of those useless mods off and go F/I. that is the only way you will see any real gains in the DE engine

you took off/replaced stock pieces with aftermarket pieces. your car is not stock

now i fully understand why you made this thread. that statement right there just proves you have no clue what you are doing and need all the help you can get.
