What should I do next on my car?
Next on the agenda...
1. Finish the exhaust with an x-pipe and remove the secondary mufflers...
2. Lower the car
3. new front bumper just like the bonspeed x-type
4. send my ecu to freaking britain to get it power programmed for 18 more horses...
So what are your suggestions?

RE: What should I do next on my car?
dont you think that if the factory could have given 18 more horsepower, they would have?
the car already is set to run on premium fuel.
It really does not make any technical sense that they can get almost 10% more power by programming.
remember what they say about things that seem too good to be true!!!

What doo you mean freakin Britain?
Over here Paramount do the ecureprogramming but to me its priced way to high for a measly 18 bhp.
If we had turbo cars a lot more power can be had but unfortunately we dont so to me the cost is just not worth it.
Youd probably get the same sort of power/weight ratio advantage by losing a few pounds andditchingyour spare wheelto get the same performance gains for afew $(dont forget to add some of that tyre seal to your other tyres incase of a blow out especially at the new higher speeds you will reach).
18bhp isnt going to give you a much of a noticeble difference.
Get your car lowered to lessen wind resistance and maybe make it look faster
Then finally you could put a coat of wax on to make glide through the air.

RE: What should I do next on my car?
Of your listed, the exhaust would be my choice. I wouldn't lower it, nope, you'll lose the nice smooth ride the X provides...just not worth it in my opinion. The exhaust at least will give you a different sound to the car, and perhaps, gain a few ponies in the meantime. Never saw the bumper you speak of, but if its a bolt-on replacement, that could really give your ride a unique appearance. I do love the mesh grilles though..i know, not on your list. lol
Another option, you could also do those chrome trim pieces in the bumpers...again, not on your list, but something to consider if you like the chrome look.
We love spending other people's money.

Naa.. I dont really like the chrome stuff..
thats defeating the purpose of the sport package!
The chrome grill I'll do soon...
I did the exhaust already..
the exhaust stuff left to do would be an x-pipe..
heres the video of how it sounds now..
