Default 1st post - C70 owner

I've owned my '01 C70 coupe a little over 2 years, but figured with the extended warranty to soon run out, it's time for some mods. Unless of course, I pick up a project car, which might compete for my restoration/modification dollar/time.

Definitely performance mods. Handling, braking, acceleration, turbo boost, etc.

As is, I've got a K&N in there, as well as running on Mobil1, EBS greenstuff brake pads and window tints.

Any suggestions for the next modification?

1. What is your budget?

2. What do you want to do more? Engine / Suspension / Cosmetic?

3. Is the 01 turboed already? If so I suggest you do a Full Stage Zero on the car before modding it engine wise. With that get a BOOST/VAC gauge. http://www.egauges.com they sell good gauges at good prices. I would suggest an Autometer gauge. As far as a pod goes no one makes a pod for the c70's. I would look into other mounting solutions for extra gauges.
