This is my second car, the first was a 1993 Camry. This car is a major step up from the Camry. I got this car because it has decent performance, and plenty of utility to boot. Right now it isn't anything special, but my goal is to someday get this thing going with enough power to run with Camaros and Mustangs and the odd BMW that isnt being driven by an old man. This may take a while as I'm a cash strapped student at the moment and have probably $4000 in mods planned for it. Any ideas for more upgrades would be great.
The "man-wagon"
Close up of my pinstripe, not sure if I want to keep it or not
Riding on 16 inch Volvo Persus rims, apparently the brakes are aftermarket.
List of performance stuff planned as soon as i get the $$ this may take a while
RICA ECU, 3" Downpipe
Dual exhaust kit (the rear bumper is begging for it)
upgrade to TD04-HL16T turbo
Transmission cooler
Volan rims
Brake upgrade
MBC
Hopefully some suspension stuff too
I figure once I add all of that stuff, I should be good for around 250 - 275 hp, and 240 - 260 lbs of torque, maybe more?
Bogies taken out:
Chevy S10, it was a four-banger, no problem at all, had to teach a punk not to take on a wagon.
Pontiac Grand Prix, guy thought he was cool with his magnaflow exhaust.
Some older Subaru...whipped by me and I ran back up on him for a while, could have said goodbye to him but he had a death wish and wanted to end up off the road in a lake
