The Next Step.......your advice?, Performance Upgrades Options

[davidlwade]

Ok, so here's the deal. You guys (and girls, of course) have already been very helpful. I want your advice on something else.

My next thoughts as far as performance upgrades were along these lines...
- JDM Headers
- Clutchmaster Stage 2 Clutch
- Eibach suspension

I plan on doing the headers first bc that is the only part of the exhaust package on mine that isn't already performance. Would any of you advise doing one of the others first? Or would any of you advise doing first an upgrade I've not listed? Not a barn-burner here, I'm not a COMPLETE ameature to import tuning, just wanting to see you all agreed or disagreed.

Thanks again
David

Not sure what the uprated clutch is for..... its not as though the 1.8 is raging with off idle torque, you may end up just being embarrassed as you rev the **** through your motor and then bunny-hop away from a standstill. What kinda headers are you looking at ? Make sure you get them heat wrapped tight. Perhaps a 20V silvertop head ontop of your 1.8 block would be the way to go, 4A-GE have good OEM headers so you wouldn't need to change the top flanges...

Ofcourse this would need to be matched with a piggyback fuel computer and a tune but would definitely make your car FUN FUN FUN to drive.
