SLE is staying for a year.$400 for perf. parts, what to get?
I've decided to keep my SLE for about a year so I figured I'd start getting into some performance mods...I'd like to shoot for mid to low 15s. I have $400 in hand and was thinking of these 3 things to start with:
1) Intense PCM...standard settings
2)180 deg. Tstat
3) Some form of air intake (Don't know if I should buy an Intense fenderwell or make a custom one with a rice pipe and filter)
Future mods: 1.9 Roller Rockers, springs, PEMs and high flow cat.
Comments, questions, emotional concerns?
Thanks a lot!

i think that is a wise decistion.....your car has low miles that makes it ideal to mod...chances are that you wont find a car wil comparable milage.....
anyway its cool to pull up next another Bonnie and Smoke it....plus its fun to mod....
keep the car and mod it

hehe....I'm gonna keep for a while longer. Going to shoot for being the fastest L36 SLE on the board. Ordering and Intense PCM, Fenderwell intake and 180* thermostat tomorrow morning.
What do you all think for after those 3 mods? I'm thinking either some PEMs and a high flow cat or 1.0 Roller Rockers
