Thanx, that was the advice i was looking fore, i think im just going to avoid the performance area, and just make it look nice, with tint, exhauxt tips, muffler and maybe rims now that you have mentioned the awd problems. I'm trying to keep the rust off of it, and i guess if i did want to get performance i should just go out and buy a specific purpose car for that. Thanx a ton, plus it is a cruiser.

 

The car looks great as is. There isn't really much you have to do to them. I also had the sport model which IMO looks a little better than the others with chrome. Tint, wheels, muffler and exhaust tips would be the best combination IMO. If you don't already have hids they are a nice investment as well. If you don't have the sport model some lowering springs look nice. When shopping for rims/tires try staying as close to 225/40/18 as you can. My 225/45/17's rubbed and the 18's barely ever rubbed anything. Here's mine...

These were 17's


These are with the 18's

 

I like the calipers, im not sure what coor to get ehtier red or black to match, but im not going to worry about rims, or lowering unless its mandatory and how would i do that. Should i color my chrome parts or leave them

 

We need pics to recommend some more stuff...

The sport model comes lowered. Pretty sure most guys have used an eibach lowering spring for lowering.

I prefer the painted vs. chrome look.

Rims are a nice way to add the most dramatic look/change to any ride. I wish I had adobe photoshop on this computer because I could help you out with stuff. It sounds like you have a black x right? I have some black photoshopped pics I can upload tomorrow.

I personally liked the calipers red, it added a little more look and helps the rim stand out. If you have stock rims or rims that aren't flashy I'd paint them black or perhaps a silver or dark grey. That way they look clean but not too flashy.

The one thing I forgot about though are clear side markers! That should be the first on every x-type owners' list!

 

Actaully im going to do that right this minute, im taking my camera out and looking at it, i have to warn you though, its a bit dirty ( live in alberta, and we've been getting snow when its plus 10 outside) so heads up. And its missing a piece that i just go today, ill take some pics of the rust prob too.

 

K&N breaather, along with Borla...car is faster, sounds better.

 

K how can i upload alot of pics at one, say 30, and yes thats was what i pllaned to do, but where can i get the k n breather

i suggest u just copy and paste this link becuase its too much effort with all the uploading and crap on the site. Take a good loook at the rust problem too, i'd like to get it corrected as soon as possible. And i've also heard of painting thr plastic covers on the engine compartment, let me know youtr thoughts.

 

Stu, the link that you post has me entering a password. Is this what you meant to do?

 

Hey disco it's really really easy to add pics. Go to "Go Advanced" towards the bottom of the quick reply area. You will see 2 icons one is earth with a paperclip and the other is an icon with mountain. Depending on which part of the link photobucket gives you, changes which one you use. Try copying the link on photobucket and come back to this forum and hit either of those icons and paste it in the pop-up that comes up after you hit whichever icon. You can preview the post and see if the pics show up in your post, iIf you need help let one of us know.

 

Crap no i did not, hmm, ill try to figure it out, shouldn't take me long, and i have a qyestion, is painting the engine plastic trim a good idea or just a stupid mod
