Interesting topic of conversation...
I'm personally trying to get the best of both worlds without spending a small fortune, that is, upgrade perfomance and highlight the looks. If you start increasing engine performance then you have to start considering upgrading your braking system and then handling. Once you have that sorted, you want it to look the part. I want a nice looking car, different to anyone else around here, and that has the performance to backup the looks. Just for an idea of what I'm planning... Looks: 1. Interior (gearknob, shift boot, handbrake cover, dash trim kit, bezel gauge, paint some of the black plastic panels, CD player and speakers) 2. Exterior (Body Kit, Wing, Hood Scoop/Vents, Head/Side/Taillights, Paint Brake Calipers) Performance: 1. Engine(Air Intake, Plugs, Leads, Coil, Cat-Back Exhaust, Fuel Pressure Regulator) 2. Braking (f/r Drilled/grooved Discs, EBC Green Pads, ) 3. Handling (koni yellows, 1.5" lowering springs, f/r sway bars, f/r strut bars) What order .... Make it go, make it stop, make it handle, make it look good. 1. Looks - 1 (quickest and cheapest method to get quick visible results..good for morale!) 2. Performance - 1 3. Performance - 2 4. Performance - 3 5. Looks - 2 |
