Looking for some mods to do to the old car. Been too long since I've done anything to her (never). Any suggestions to get a little more kick on the highway? Everything is bone stock. Not looking at CAI's, they don't do **** besides sound louder. Car has 250,000 kms on it if that changes anything.

6 speed swap and turbo are really the only realistic options then.

Maybe a chip, but definitely 6 speed.

Actually an intake was one of the best mods I've ever done to my car.. I felt a pretty decent boost in HP and mpgs...

also, its only louder when you go WOT..

Kinda wish I had kept just the intake so its more of a sleeper, but I added headers and single exhaust.
Pretty good power. Especially on hwy.. But other than that stuff you would need to go FI to get more power.

Just depends on how much you're trying to pay

Will SRI suffice? What's "FI"? Price doesn't matter that much, just looking for suggestions on what I should get done.

FI is forced induction. IE: turbo and supercharger

If money doesn't matter, I suggest you get another car. Unless you're truly in love with yours.

If you want to continue modding this one. You should start first with a 6 speed swap. Then go one of two ways. A chip with I/H/E or turbocharge it (significantly more expensive).

Any more info you may search for to find.

I ammm in love with it. It sucks. I'll never get rid of it cause it's going to be my work-travel vehicle. Kinda caught up on the new genesis right now.

The other option I've been thinking about too is buying Mikey's car. Biggest problem would be getting it over the boarder with safety inspections and whatnot.

Go to the local park, find the biggest bench, take it home, install it on ur trunk with racing duct tape. BOOM +100 HP

But seriously do some research on the new quadnarf intake.. I believe there available for preorder now.

Ps. Sorry Roy I couldn't resist :(
