Helloooo,

So to cut to the chase, I need a change. It's not that I'm getting bored with my car exactly, but I guess... I'm getting bored with my car. I can't just go and buy a new car, that's way out of the question haha but I would like to do something to kinda bring some life back into it . Don't get me wrong, I love my car a lot and I'm sure 'bored' isn't the right word, but that is all that comes to mind right now

Can you all throw me some ideas? Anything I can do to my car to bring back that feeling of OH MY GOD, I LOVE DRIVING MY CAR non stop. I was considering rims but I dunno, it's kinda pricey for RIGHT now, although I definitely would not mind maybe a month or two from now to just get new rims. After the winter is over at least. Coilovers? Anythingggg? I feel like I've done a lot to it already (in my eyes, although I know many of you guys have dont way more haha) so I can't think of much else to do. Hmmmmmm ideas would be much appreciated! Maybe even painting my rims for now? Okay now I'm just rambling so help me out cause I got no clueeeeee


And my current mods are:
18" rims
H&R SS springs
X-pipe
Trunk and roof spoiler
Black grill and black tape where all the chrome is
HIDs on the lowbeams and yellow fogs and AZNs LEDs
MBJunkie sticker

That's about it

How would rims bring back the "I love driving my car!" feeling? You already have some pretty nice MRR's, right?

How about an ECU tune or front and rear anti-sway bars?

Repaint your car ($$) or get it wraped. I am in love with matte black.

Airbag suspension. When your bored just flip the switch and have it ride lower lol

Front lip and rear diffuser. Debadge. Wrap interior pieces. Install a flux capacitor

+1, assuming you mean "love driving" and not "love looking at". Eibach front and rear anti-sway bars were the biggest smile-making change I made that would create that feeling...huge improvement toward more of that "slot car" feeling for steering response.

Sportstick how much were the swaybars and where did you get them from?

Sportstick

tirerack.com stocks them. $450 when I purchased. The front install is easy, but the rear took three hours, including loosening the subframe. In retrospect, WELL worth it!

How about a new 21 year old slightly crazy girlfriend to drive around in the car you've got. Although a vehicle upgrade might be cheaper. OK, sorry.

caligreenzzz

do a comand retrofit if you dont already have it.....

Boris autopartswarehouse is cheaper than tire rack cause they will price match and they always have coupons

Your car must push like hell. Does it?

Sportstick

No, it is actually quite neutral to being a bit loose coming out of a turn. When the install was done, I had the front bar in for a while before we tackled the longer rear install, and that did tighten up the front and it would push if I got into it. But, Eibach designed the front and rear bar very well to work together and it remains very neutral until I get more aggressive and the tail steps out first...sort of like an old Bimmer with a little throttle lift! Trust me, push is a downer, but the entertainment factor for this car has gone up quite a bit!!

CF front lip

I'm no longer living in NJ. I'm currently stationed at Aviano Air Base in Italy. First station so I shipped my car over. It'll be in Italy on January 23rd can't wait!

you could have bought my body kit/fenders.. 040 black too, sold it the other day tho.

Red_Demon08

anyone knw a shop that sales and installs airbags in ny?

Sportstick

For that type of work, I would only go to a dealer, for the latest correct part number information (sometimes superseded), any/all diagnostics, and having the performance liability attributable to a substantial company, not a local independent. Your potential cost savings from a local indy would be minimal, and likely just a small labor cost differences, as they should be buying the part from a dealer in any event...if not, you don't want it anyway.
