  • Recently bought car got around 1k to spend on it

        you better hold off and spending that money on stuff you dont need. Give the car a few months before you "fix it up" There could be problems you dont know of. First off, give it a complete tune up, while doing this, be looking at every thing.

          It's a 3.4 auto yes performance stuff. The speakers in the front and back are all 3.5s right?

            The speakers are all 6.5's. I agree with waiting a little before modifying as I wish I did with mine. I didnt have the money when problems arose because I spent it all on performance goodies. I had a great time modifying my car but if I could do it all again, I would leave the entire car stock. I have realized that the 3.4 will never be fast or at least as fast as I wanted it to be. I spent way too much money on it and I get past by acuras. Now dont get me wrong this is just my opinion. The 3.4 is a great engine and can take a beaten, and I barely have to put gas in this thing. Remember this was just my opinion. Modifying these cars can be a very fun and enjoyable experience so I dont want to take that away from anyone.

              o ya and with 1 grand to spend I would do it on all exterior mods. Who cares how slow you go as long as you look good driving.

                for what a v6 costs + 1000 more could get you an lt1 [img]redface.gif[/img]

                id upgrade the suspension first. shocks most importantly, springs if you want to. then fix anything else thats broken. then do appearance.

                i made the stupid choice of neglecting my broken cat while i spend hundreds on the interior. :(

                looks nice inside, has annoying rattle outside [img]tongue.gif[/img]

                  Like bobbyz72 said: complete tune up first. If you don't know how this car was maintained make sure everything is up to par. Assuming you have done that and your suspension isn't worn out, I would say nice tires, LSD/gears, intake, exhaust. All that may run you more than a grand so pick your order.
