OK, here you go...write this down: 3K on ecu upgrade, and 2-3K on track fees (driver mod). Those are your absolute best buys.

Oh, and spray painting the wheels.

Dude,
In all seriousness, the car is engineered pretty well and there aren't many pieces of it you can tweak or remove to make it go "more better."

Most of the ball bustin' is because we all started exactly where you are coming from, and the guys who are chiming in have figured out the real answer to your question. And unfortunately it all starts with a checkbook.

It's all in good fun and you'll probably look back on this post in 6 months and laugh right along with us!!!

Means a lot coming from someone that can't even install a clear bra on his car.

In your defense there has been 2 mods that were brought up that are virtually free. Don't be discouraged, usually this board is pretty tame compared to some of the other ones out there. The boys just seem a little onry today! :

I wasnt just asking for "go fast" mods.... Things such as painting the inner headlight trim, painting interior peices, Airbox mods, exhaust mods, Lighting mods, anything really... Im happy im getting my post count up though

I like to do things myself, rather then bringing them to the shop.

And are you truly committed to being a genuine *******...because it takes hard work and discipline. If so, I will mentor you.

Here is what I want you to do for your first assignment: PM this guy PaulieWalnuts https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/member.php?u=8758

In the PM say this "Hey, I saw your yellow GT2 on Youtube racing another GT2, I think it was silver...man your car is bad ***. I know you lost to the silver car, but I heard that he was a way better driver and had 30K in mods. Your car only has 15K in mods....and I also heard that you are like, really old so the race wasn't really fair. Anyway, who did you mods? I want to get them for my car."

Do that, young grasshopper, and we will open our arms to you.

i had the interior color matched on my C4. it was not cheap (at least not to me). if you could do this on your own, props to you.

Oh and be sure to ask Dr Jitsu about the first race we had or should I say the first 5 races we had.I got so bored winning that I let him win the last time just because I felt bad about beating him so many times.Plus Todd asked me to "please let him win so he will quit calling me".Oh and by the way nothing in life is for free the faster you learn this the more money you will save.
