N/A Upgrades...?

Hopefully an easy one... I'm stumped for upgrades to do to my dailydriver 90GTU. I want to put some umph in it's a$$ without making it louder and suck up a ton of gas. Thanks.

Then redo the suspension. It's more fun to go faster through the twisties anyway.

For what most people spend on a decent exhaust from header to tip, you could have a reasonably good suspension. For some more money, you could adjust anything you'd ever want to adjust and outhandle a lot of people.

I already have Tokico's all around and Eibach springs w/18's and Nitto's.

I have 2.5" exhaust w/no cats, and dual RActive mufflers w/the removable tips. The tone is almost perfect... a light hum. I have headers, but I figured I'd wait till I'm completely out of things to do being I don't want to be at all louder.

I have a K&N cone type filter also.

EVERYTHING else is stock.

Sink some money into the interior then. Get some nice seats or something. Or a better steering wheel. Install a nice stereo or something.

is your engine ported it would make it a bit louder but you can still get more HP out of it depending on what stage it is ported

just a thought

Well,

Suspension is always fun.
Shocks/struts are easy to do and make for some fun times.
Strut bar is easy and about $40 on ebay.
Bushings ,etc
AND if you want to do a little drifting the REAR TOE ELIMINATORS.

Engine wise:
Air filter intake/cold air box/etc..
For exhaust to keep it quiet you can get a downpipe instead of header(not as much HP gain but quieter)
and I have heard Racing Beats catback on a bridgeported TII and it was pretty quiet.

The Corksport single is loud on my N/A but deep cause of the Bonez Downpipe.
