well i know i'm kinda new but i've got some mods on my car. So far i have a intake, which is undobtedly my best mod so far. I also did some decorative mods like adding neons in my footwells which looks sick. I also just ordered a RS-R ex mag catback exhaust. Then i plan to do headders. So you can take my route and do small bpu upgrades, or you do mods like some guys do with turbo kits, supercharger kits, and nitrous. So it's basically up to how much power you want, and how driveable and pratical you want your car's mods to be. well that's my 2 cents.

I personally would go the turbo route. Reinforce the motor by re-sleeving the pistons, porting and polishing, blue printing, of course new cams.. Wont be much need for a CAI (cold air intake) if you do buy a turbo so, buy a nice turbo after you have reinforced your motor. You could push 20+ psi easy if you strengthen things right.

Also if you have any cash suspension is always a good thing.. this is assuming that you havent done any thing to it yet. I am a fan of Skunk2 coilovers, but everyone has different opinions.

thats my .02

first: remove that point of you claiming to have a type r...you have an si....a FAR cry from the ctr. Youre not fooling anyone

second: what do you want out of the car?

a turbo is a lot of work...not generally for novices

it isnt something that you can bolt on and call it done...it takes lots of maintenance and carefull monitoring.

I also recommend that you either start doing A LOT of reading on your own (start buy buying a book titled MAXIMUM BOOST by Corky Bell) if you wish to go turbo, or just do I/H/E (intake/header/exhaust) and call it done.

From what Ive read of all your other posts...I HIGHLY recommend the latter

not yet but we are going to have a window banner made soon for the winshield and some sort of round logo for the back window. i was thinking maybe another small one on the side rear windows or by the brake lights what do you guys think?

stickers :nono:

The only sticker I have is an In-n-Out sticker in the corner of my rear glass.
If you have to ask what In-n-Out is, dont bother...If you know what In-n-Out is, then you understand

theres nothing wrong with window stickers, as long as they aren't some HUGH ASS sticker i mean if you want ot support you team thats understand able but i don't think that you need like 4 different styles of the same thing just get one and i'd say make it small
