Subject: B4 modding, money best spent will be checking common issues. Author: mgood : 1008 posts Posted on: 2007-04-29 20:55:03

see my post for good links.

After you've made sure your car is in good condition for modding, you are only limited by budget, time, and creativity.

**"Electric Superchargers" are JUNK***

Read up on some of the links, there is a lot of good info out there.

To satisfy instant gratification though:

Generally, the first things to upgrade are:
1. intake - a good one, not crap (conforti is my fav, and what i use.)

2. exhaust- I have a remus, but you'll find reviews of others in the links. (save some weight off OEM, and upgrade performance and sound)

3. ignition - Plugs - bosch platinum 4 for me

4. DME software (chips) - I use conforti software.

5. braided brake hoses, silicone coolant hoses, upgraded fluids etc.

If your wallet is fat, skip the intake / chips and go for a supercharger or turbo- you can make a supercar out of an e36 for a little over $10K.

have fun!
