Gang,

I picked up my wife's car. Now she has a LBC.

What mods are recommended? The car is a 2005 convertible.

Thanks,

Steve
 
Congrats! Know she will be happy. Might go for K&N filter, Demon Coil and Magnacor wires, some sort of exhaust ( if she likes sound). Other than that go all out with induction, ignition and exhuast, then pulleys! More expensive! But all in all a filter and exhaust will give you 15-20HP, if you just want some improvement in fuel and performance. Lots out there kinda your choice and how much you want to spend. I basically just updated at service intervals and maintenance shedules.
 
Thanks Larry,

The car and us just returned from the Dixon Show/Swap Meet. Everyone behaved rather well. The car handles well, and I want to boost the exhaust right away.

Two oldies, and two college kids are too much for the car. I will send you a pm for whats next.

Thanks,

Steve
 
I would like to recommend that first thing is to focus on tires improvement, then sway bar sizing and links. Focus on chassis/handling first before getting into the horsepower improvement game.

Learn to use the capabilities of the car to its maximum(autocrosses, rallies, etc.) before taking it to the track.
