Any ideas what you want to do for your next mods?
probably gonna do a MD plenum spacer not sure if i should do 5/16 or 1/2
some sort of drop, i was bidding on 06 z springs but i lost so either oem z or something else mild
HR Y-pipe
maybe a catback, don't want anything that drones
brembos or akebonos when my brakes need replacing
some sort of wheels, I have a set of kosei k1-ts 17x8 +35 from my rsx but i think they will probably look sort of small, but they weigh 15.4 lbs so I will be saving like 10lbs a wheel over stock 17s, I may just use them for winter though
possibly some test pipes although it will probably end up being too loud on the highway, my rsx was catless with a greddy sp2 catback and the exhaust wasn't loud at all unless u really got on it, it would be nice to replicate that setup but idk
tune maybe
deck lid lip spoiler
headlight blackout(internal not external..lol)


probably gonna be a slow process because money is tight atm, maybe turbo eventually..lol

some sort of drop, i was bidding on 06 z springs but i lost so either oem z or something else mild: Check the marketplace here and 350z. i wouldn't pay more than $60 for the springs only.
HR Y-pipe
maybe a catback, don't want anything that drones: Hr y pipe + cpe midpipe + hks = WINbrembos or akebonos when my brakes need replacing
some sort of wheels, I have a set of kosei k1-ts 17x8 +35 from my rsx but i think they will probably look sort of small, but they weigh 15.4 lbs so I will be saving like 10lbs a wheel over stock 17s, I may just use them for winter though: IMHO 17's too small..check out the cpe 18's. good fitment and rims and tires a lot cheaper than 19's
possibly some test pipes although it will probably end up being too loud on the highway, my rsx was catless with a greddy sp2 catback and the exhaust wasn't loud at all unless u really got on it, it would be nice to replicate that setup but idk
tune maybe: Prob not needed with the mods you mentioned
deck lid lip spoiler: i like!
headlight blackout(internal not external..lol) i like!

probably gonna be a slow process because money is tight atm, maybe turbo eventually..lol
From one former honda owner to another, I know you didn't ask for feedback but thought i would share what i learned on here.

i like the coupe 18s, but it since the VQ seems reluctant to gain from bolt ons, dropping 40lbs of rotating mass would probably make a decent difference in accleration

tune can make a difference even on a stock car, but i probably won't bother. i had kpro on my rsx and it made a big difference but u have to stay on top of it to make sure u aren't knocking or something...to much work, maybe ill get safc-2 or something, idk

oh and i wanna get cams, lol but i doubt that will ever happen

oh i also wanna get that ipod adapter

and yeah i guess the 1/2" is more money and also some people say you could lose some low end, idk

here is a pic of what the koseis would look like(its on page one also..lol), they would stick out a bit further being 35 offset and 8" wide

they might look ok with a drop


and for good measure my rsx in trade in mode
poorly painted 02-04 wheels with snow tires


alpine media center/ipod HU replaced with a $50 dual from walmart

As for a tune, i just don't see to many ppl on here messing around with the timing / a/f ratio to optimize performance.

Cams are a lil more for this car and not as easy to install.

Along with a drop those wheels would look better with spacers.

idk i saw a lot of people with tunes, osiris and what not

i know cams will be a bitch...maybe if i get a winter beater and I have a week or so to just take my time..lol

as for the wheels, that is a chop so they are sitting where the OEM 17x7 +40s are. the kosei's are and inch wider and will stick out 5mm further so overall they will be 5mm plus half an inch further out

sounds nice...241 is pretty good for an auto right?

idk seems like people just don't try to get NA performance out of these cars

i would imagine with long tube headers(unfortunatly only megan, obx and some super expensive company make those), cams, exhaust, spacer, dyno tune and a little weight redux, you could get some fairly respectable na times out of it

Yea id say 241 is pretty good. A non tuned coupe 6mt with full exhaust, HFCs, CAI, etc etc bolt-ons made like 260 something.

So my car with an auto and less mods doing 240ish made me happy. It is enough.

When i dynoed my car for the first time with a dirty air filter i made 217whp, so like 30whp is pretty good lol

maybe, it sorta matches the black plastic around the bottom, i would like to black out the headlights but i dont wanna risk ruining them

i put some lense clarifier on them last night, worked pretty good, they were sorta yellowish and I picked up a set of wheels wide enough for the set of blizzacks my bro is giving me https://g35driver.com/forums/17-inch...nter-rims.html ftw
