Upgrade Question

I want to do some upgrades to my OZ but I dont want to loose a lot of money when I go to sell it in a few years cause we all know that most people that buy modded cars are kids and kids dont go money. So what are some mods you guys think I should do?

Oops, didnt realize I was in the newbie forum when I posted that. Oh well, it is kind of a n00b question.

Just do simple bolt-ons. I/H/E - Intake, Headers, Exhaust. They increase performance, and you can easily put the stock ones back on if you want.

For cosmetics, it's the same - new tailights that can be replaced, rims...

That way when you sell it, you can make money back by selling what you bought.

I would definitely start with an air intake and a better exhaust since those two modifications will increase your power (HP). I also recantly bought and installed the B&M shortshifter and am really pleased with it.

I/H/E will definitely give you noticable gains, but don't expect any miracles. You'll feel the difference in acceleration, but you're not going to be strapping a rocket engine on your car or anything.

yep. I definitely noticed better acceleration with the intake and the exhaust. I would say that I got around 10 HP gain with the upgrades. If you looking for a considerable increase in power, you better start thinking turbo upgrade.
