I'm a newbie

i just want to know if anyone has any suggestions on what i can do to make my G coupe a little faster, louder, handle better... you know, the ususal sh*t.

I plan on getting the Injen CAI, already ordered LED's for just about every socket on the car, got some 19's on it, etc.

i was lucky enough to inherit my wife's '04 G coupe last month, due to the fact that some drunk decided to insert the front end of his Galant through the trunk and into the back seat of my C230 Kompressor last month. needless to say, he did me a favor. that car was a POS.

thanks in advance for all your help.

I would suggest an exhaust to make it louder, a suspension to make it handle better, and of course, high quality tires!

1) Louder:
- Engine: Motordyne Plenum Spacer, INJEN CAI
- Exhaust: Exhaust system (so many to choose from with different sounds, do a search and you can find some sound clips and stuff)

2) Suspension: Sway Bars, Front & Rear Strut Bars, Lower it, and GT Spec Front & Rear Tie Arms and Lateral Brace

I'm running a Fujitsubo Y-Pipe and Apexi WS2 Muffler. Its like a deeper slightly louder than stock sound.

I had the Motordyne 5/16" Iso Thermal Plenum Spacer and INJEN CAI in my 04Coupe and it definitely makes it sound better.

I'm running Front and Rear GT SPEC Tie Arms, GT Spec Lateral Brace, Richie's V2 Front Strut Bar, Eibach Sways, and lowered on 350z Tein H Techs...my car handles pretty good.

+1 unless you've got a real specific problem..

and don't forget to check your camber when you do lower.

don't think that's not the first thing that crossed my mind. i'll get there eventually.

i can't justify spending that much just yet, seeing as how i just finished paying off what my insurance didn't from my totalled Kompressor (uninsured drunk who left the scene on foot). maybe in another year or so. trying to keep it under 2500 for now.

well, if you already have 2500 you might as well save up a little more and get boosted. that's what i would do. everything else really isn't worth it for all the minimal gains
