I'll be getting a 6th gen GT soon, with headers on it and a CAI in a box with it. It also has a Stage One clutch in it. I'm wondering what is the best way to go about upping the overall performance (power, suspension) and look (interior and exterior). I have a TRD short shifter for it, and I was thinking about either springs or coilovers (don't know, advice?) and definitely an exhaust. I also was going to put some GT-4 spoiler blocks on it, to enhance the look. The tint job isn't the best, but that's not a need, in my oppinion. I was wondering what some of you people have done to your cars and gotten the best results, both performance and styling.

Not looking for a show car, and not looking to turbo (I have an All-Trac already), just something to make it a little sportier and fun to drive. This will be my daily driver, so I don't want to dump a ton of money into it, nor do I want to make it a show car. I like the lines of the 6th gen, especially the GT-4.


Its got JDM tails on it and reverse indiglo gauges already. I am just wanting to hear some ideas. I've tried looking through all the parts available but only a few have feedback from people, which is what I was interested in. Sorry for the lack of order in this post.


Bottom line, what have you guys and gals done that you have been pleased with and what have you done that you have been displeased with?

Let me know, thanks. :-)

Well, for a daily driver.. put a nice stereo in, maybe a K&N replacement filter, exhaust if you please.. Lower and body kit should you feel thats reasonable, I'd say springs unless you have bad winters and such..

The shifter is really all you need from a drivers perspective... bank the money or put it into the alltrac.

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
