Brand new to the platform! Found this gem on Facebook for $2000 and had to indulge. Gonna be the daily while I rip the other projects apart lol, at least that was the plan.. have a bunch of maintenance stuff to put on, valve cover gasket, plugs and wires, catless header because the cats are clogged, and some other odds and ends. Hopefully grabbing an altezza bumper and lip for the front later today, and throwing on some coilovers. I see myself getting wayyy too into this car lol I already have a basket full of parts. Just love how she drives, and how they look! Gonna post in the marketplace forum as well, but since I'm here, anyone have any parts this car would benefit from? Intake, exhaust, anything cool lol. Thanks for reading! Been on the forums reading everything I can

Welcome!!

If you need new front rotors and pads, I happen to have some new ones (factory sized) I'm not using, since I did my brake upgrade. I'll also be selling my Tein coilovers here soon. I've been waiting for the rest of my stuff to get here, so I only have to go under the car once, but I'm getting impatient, and my go ahead and install my fortunes.

I have a leftover megan rear strut tower bar I'm not using either. And some wheel spacers I absolutely hate. Maybe some other stuff.

Let me know if you're interested. I'll take pictures for you when I get the chance.

Throw it up in the marketplace on here I would be interested in that rear brace. To OP these only benefit a little from bolt-ons. They'll sound cooler tho and make a little more power. I'd focus on handling IMO.

For sure! I only plan on intake, header, and exhaust. Mostly handling like you mentioned and appearance as well

Thank you! I am about to get a front and rear strut tower set but I'd be interested in yours if it's a good price! What spacers are they? Was thinking about getting some. I'm putting teins on the car and some other stuff tomorrow

Get an intake pipe the factory airbox is as good as it gets. TT brakes are a good upgrade as well. Did you check your timing belt?
Copy that. I have a k&n typhoon for a different car sitting around was gonna see if I could do something with it 😂 what would you recommend? Been on this site for hours and hours reading, tons of good information. Seems like the best cheap and easy thing would be the hps or similar silicone hose kit. PO mentioned the timing belt was done, I'll check over everything when I'm doing the valve cover gasket. Only my second day driving it lol. I appreciate the input!
