Bought my car about a year ago. Absolutely love it. Its an 03 coupe. Has 85000 miles on it to date. Would like to do some upgrades on it. Doesnt seem like it's near as fast as it was when i bought it. (maybe just getting use to the speed). I haven't done anything to it except oil changes, tranny flush and two new tires (guess which ones ). Any advice on how to make it go fast would be apriciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

power does not come cheap with the VQ. With that said, take a look at the following items:
Plenum spacer
exhaust
hi-flow cats
test pipes / Art pipes
Osiris tune (done after you have completed your bolt ons).

There are tons of threads on all of these...just spend some time and search around.

[QUOTE=Deepdiver;5571768]power does not come cheap with the VQ.

Deepdiver is right, I have spent over 2k on bolt on's and probably have added no more than 15-20 hp on my G. This is not including an additional 5k+ on wheels,suspension,and brakes.Keep in mind I've only had this car for about 5 months. I am about to invest some more money on dyno/tune and some more suspension parts. In the end the last money dropped would be beefing up the motor and FI (Vortech). This bring me back to what deepdiver had mentioned, this is not a cheap car to mod if you want to do it right. Overall, it has been fun and if you have further questions about what you need feel free to ask. This is what the forum is for. GL!!!

Save a little more and go FI. Best bang for the buck. I've spend a lot of money going NA and not really worth it in the end but we all have our reasons. Good luck
