Hi, I was wondering how should I start with on my teggy since its been stock ever since! I don't know where to start modifying. Girl has to have a nice car right (plus I need something to do)? Money is no problem, planning to do a tranny&&motor swap because its B18 and Auto. I have worked on a nissan 240sx, recently did a auto to manual swap, everything turned out good. This car has been every good to me, no check lights or anything. It just needs my attention and I dont know where to start, Any pointers?
First off, WELCOME!! To da club.
The basic things you should do would be an intake (cold air or ram intake[I have a ram]), a header, full exhaust kit (not a fart can[I have a fart can, but doesnt sound like any farts])
Also do some passive upgrades. I'm waiting on a Mishimoto radiator and Fan shroud from thenoxus1, I already have the silicone hoses to match the set, as well as Mishimoto liquid chill for my radiator after the swap
Convert your taillights to LED, much more energy efficient and doesnt run hot. Also convert your trunk and interior lights to LED as well. For that, I recommend superbrightleds.com for that.
Thats the basic things off the top of my head.. Maybe new rims I guess? dont know what you're running now. I've converted my front bumper turn signals to LED also, and switched out my super fogged up OEM headlights with clear, black housing halo lights, and it came out real nice. Also fog lights will give a nice look for your car, and I'm assuming yours is a 3rd gen, and let me tell you this.. Its a pain in the ass. Worth it though in the end..
oooh and definitely a strut bar and sway bar, I felt a big difference after I put the sway bar on
Lastly, coilovers. I cant name any brands because you may not like the setup I run, or you'll find a cheaper brand, etc.
hope this helps 8)
