Want to mod

07-07-2007, 04:00 PM

I'm not much of a car expert so I don't know what you can add to a car to make it look nice. I already added a system (1650watt amp + 1400Watt subs with deck) but i want to mod it more, and possibly performance parts to the engine, all I know is i have a 2.2 automatic engine. If someone could give me a run down on what i could do with it would be very helpful.

first step is clear your corners and get the bulbs that look blue but light up amber. Then depending if you want to go performance get some headers and a cold air for start, but for looks to start with get some rims plus a bodykit.

Intake and exhaust is the easiest way to start, then get light wieght rims i dont know if its the same auto trans as the 2.4 but s shift kit would be a good thing to get to.. After that performance gets mroe cmplex and pricey, like cams and intake manifolds from the 2.3. After that you can do cosmetics but if u want performance save you money and put it into the motor.

ya i think clearing the corners is one of the first mods i would do....its cheap, and can be easy but can be a bitch sometimes

Full exhaust. I'm pretty sure they make headers for the 2.2 Eco.

Intakes are cheap to do.

Get good tires for those lightweight rims

I've been told the only 4 brands you buy are BFGoodrich, Goodyear, Michliene (sp) and Pirellei (sp)

Eibach, or Intrax spring to lower the car. Eibach drop you 1.2 inches, and Intrax is 2.2"

Get KYB struts for them too. You'll be happy.

Tint the windows, always a good mod

Tower braces and sway bars. They don't have to be done all at the same time. but they will help you out big time in the turns.

Check out my cardomain page to get more ideas. I have the 3400 V6 though
