Welcome to the board. Just remember sometimes, that not every mod is a good mod. ;)

Welcome to HS :cool:

What kinda motor is the 1.6 el - Sohc or Dohc?

welcome to HS...glad to have you aboard. Thanks for sharing very nice 4dr you got there...Keep up the clean work..:yes: :yes:

Nice clean looking car. Welcome;)

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on Mods... I'm looking to get into the performance mods but i don't want to go nuts i'm looking for cost effective upgrades that will make a good difference...

The first thing i was going to do was my header and exhaust....Is this the right first step? If not what is? And will this make a major difference (keeping in mind my car is Auto not Stick)...

you want a big performance gain. get a turbo or SC.

headers and back are a good choice. but you will probably only gain anyways from 20-50 HP. thats if you use a cat.

BTW: Didn't mean to sound like a big newbie in that last post, i was just wondering if anyone else had any suggestions for a first step i just figured exhaust was cheapest and thus making it best to start off with

TURBO for a custom one it will sure be worth it.

***UPDATE*** ok well the head is off in a shop for a 3 angle vavle job and Porting and Polishing then (in two weeks) when i get the head back i'm putting a new header with a highflow cat and a new muffler with 2 1/2" pipe for it...Thought i'd let everyone know

Lunis

nice. how much you paying for that?

did you ever get an exhuast system?

Exhaust is gonna be put on right after i get the header back, The rebuild and valve job was 225 and the port/polish was 400 so all together its 625 (CDN) then once the header is back i'll be able to throw the exhaust on i can't wait!!!
