Cool My mods for the weekend

1.Fix the steering (it steers like the old benz's did...but..the car comes with powersteering...wierd )

2. Port and Polish to the engine (dunno how much hp ill gain...but the car needs to pick it up in the performance department.)

3. Straight Piping...(not to sure about this, the car has about 110k miles on it, and its BONE stock...should i?)

4. CAR WASH!!!!!!!

what u think?

what are you planning on porting? Taking off the head/s will be a lot of work for that 3-4 hp you would get.
