Next Mods...NEED HELP

I need some HELP for my next mod. I ordered the Kamikaze header last week and in a few weeks I'm going to order something else...not sure what. Well I'm selling my bass guitar to help me get some extra cash(pm me if interested).

Anyways which should be my next mod?

So far I have:

Performance: Intake, Magnaflow Cat-Back...and just ordered: Kamikaze header w/ downpipe.

Suspension: Nothing

Looks: 17" Gunmetal Exel Rims, blackhousing tails and headlights, tinted windows, debaged trunk, etc. Just look under MY RIDE!!

It all depends what you want to do. Do you want to go for more performance or do you want to go for looks?

All the options he has listed are performance mods. Some just may also happen to look good.

What do you currently have done to your car?
I would suggest Throtal Body before Intake Manifold.

drain the oil, taking that extra weight out will get you a much better 1/4mile time

I'd get the suspension bars from RD Designs (PDX Ralliart) though

Get some springs

When the car's performance goes up you need to help the handling and weight shift tendency of our cars.

I would suggest Throtal Body before Intake Manifold.
So far:

Intake, Cat-back exhaust system....and I just ordered a Kamikaze header w/ downpipe.

I don't really have any suspension mods yet so the PDX suspension set would be good.

But then I would like to get the VIS vented carbon fiber hood for the look.

I just wanted to hear what people would get if you were me.

I say go with springs or throtal body.

Throtal body will help optimise your exhaust and intake mods.

Springs for WADAD's reason. Plus they will increase handeling. The Lancer is by no means a straight line race car. Make it fast for the cornors and use it for Auto-X of you want to compete.

Springs before the PDX Set?

Well I guess the question should have been:

What should I do next?...Performance or Suspension or Dress?

Then try to decide what I want to do in that category.

So what you think...Performance, Suspension or Dress next?
