Hey im new to these fourms and was wondering where do start with tuning this car ? its completely stock . has the sun and sound package . and also are their areas of concern to look out for on these cars ?

 

How many miles? Read the noob intro thread. Use the search function as well. These cars can be very reliable if properly maintained. Just make sure the timing belt is replaced every 60k.

 

two ways of tuning the car...piggy back/stand alone or reflashed ECU

i use UVtune Fastworks Beta, it's probably the best option for tuning...

That. All of it.

IMO, I would keep the car stock. Stock 04-06 RAs are so rare.

 

i wouldn't

 

My honest opinion would be to take care of all the maintenance first. Make sure she's up to date with her service and just search around for things that should HAVE been replaced at a certain amount of kilometres.
