beautiful car

What are your plans for the car? Theres a big difference in what parts you need if you want to use it for daily driving or if you want to use it for a weekend/track car.

Also more pictures.

haha..400 more hp..im not sure if you'd be able to handle alot more than 400..your gonna end up killing you and the seven..the seven dont deserve that..for drifting and track..the parts you listed seem like you'll be well ok..not putting you down as a driver..but 400 more hp..seems a little crazy..especially if your putting out 250 or maybe more hp..ya know what im saying!

how much do you actually know about cars

you seem to know quite a bit since you go into detail about parts but your being very bland about how you want this power

and how do you not know your budget. How much money do you have? Can you go to the dyno and fly in a tuner to tune your car for you? If so than you could proboboly make 400 hp by doing that but thats 10k right there.

Niiice car. Wow.

Don't forget maintenance to keep it that way. I like the Haynes manual myself. A lot of people recommend doing the full 60,000 mile tuneup when you buy a car, but that depends on how much the last guy did.
