Says the guy who did power mods first
We're all quilty of it. Most of us modded our cars for the sake of modding. It was when we started tracking that changed the outlook. Everyone is quity of it.

Sometimes it's more important to have the most expensive mods to show off at car meets.

If I could do it over again, I would definitely spend all my money on track time then tires/wheels then suspension. The car would be more reliable and actually driving your car is a **** load more fun than buying parts for it to do nothing.

It's not how you race your car, it's how you stand by your car.

Also video walk through of your car is always good for meets.

Seriously? How much more basic can your car be?

If I hear any more of this de-tuning crap in here I will crap a squirell.. Grow a pair ladies. I am borderline thinking of taking my car to the track just to prove a point. heavy car and little motor is what you got yourself into when you bought the car, not happy buy a heartless bmw or something with a pushrod. I'll be back I am going to de-tune my car to become a faster driver and get back to basics and focus on lines and breaking points while riding with instructors for the next few years in an attampt to nguyen an hpde while I time my laps in traffic while taking some of the most boring videos ever seen and cleaning dirt off with formula x19 after running less then stock boost. just kidding but not really yolo

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It definitely was a blast driving on the track...although it was a solid chunk of change for me to dish out my first time on the track. I'll have to save up for the next one.

The mods I am considering are an exhaust, intake, upper/lower IC piping, and an AMS IC....then dyno tune. These would be gradually bought between now and tax refund

This thought was before I was able to get to the track.

-The definition of too much power is spinning every tire, in every gear.

Hopefully I can bring new life to this thread no?

If you add up what I spent it would equal several seasons worth of seat time, bro.
