Re: Advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what are you more worried about? go fast or look good? Personally I would go with some minor, but very helpful, performance upgrades before getting too wrapped up in the body. But it is your car... so my preference really doesn't mean shit... Soooo... Orange is good, lamborghini crushed orange happens to be a personal fav. the aggressor kit is a lot like the blitz, everyone has it. But it still looks good. and I think the choices for 1st gens are very limited. So go for it an congrats on the new car!

Re: Advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, you might want to look into a nice set of rims. A hooked up car with sick paint and a sweet body kit will look just plain gay on stock rollers. Check out ebay. They usually have the best prices anyway. Maybe even pic up a tuner mag or two for ideas. Good luck

Please don't. 1g AWDs are getting difficult to find, and this would be as bad as setting it on fire.

Re: Advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone's opinions on steps are different. It all depends on what kind of power you're looking for. For ideas try looking here. http://dsmparts.com/2g_performance_guide.htm
but I would definitely upgrade your intercooler piping, and get a good intake on top of the things you already have. Also make sure you invest in a boost guage at least, maybe an egt also. So that way you know whats goin on under the hood. Also, invest in a good boost controller. electronic or manual, it's up to you. After that, it's all up to you and how much of an addiction to the speed you have. But as far as the body work goes, it's your dream and your car. make it what you want. Don't be afraid of getting called a "ricer" it's gonna happen the instant you start modifying your exterior. Just stay away from excessive vinyl and erector set spoilers and you should be ok. Good clean body work and nice paint doesn't equal rice. But you will always have the haters.

Like posted above please dont ruin the car if you want a "ricer" buy a non turbo and sell me the 1G. They are like collector items now days. Just think about what you have there and please take care of her!
