This is a basic guide to upgrading your car so its faster through aftermarket parts.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • $$$$$$$$$$
  1. Step 1

    Get rims. I would recommend going only 1 to 2 inches above your factory tires because if they are too big they will affect the handling of your car in a negative way.

  2. Step 2

    Get a full exhaust, the tip is optional. Helps the care remove spent fuel faster.

  3. Step 3

    Get Cold Air Intake. Makes it breathe better.

  4. Step 4

    Get an upgraded ECU for your car so that it runs more efficiently with your upgraded parts.

  5. Step 5

    Upgrade the front and rear brakes at least 2 brake pistons above factory. So it can stops faster.

  6. Step 6

    Upgrade your brake fluid to semi-racing, so your brakes don't fade after extended use.

  7. Step 7

    Get sway and strut bars, to have the car handle better.

Tips & Warnings
  • When choosing a brand for after market parts go with a pretty well known name because you could actually make your car worse.
  • Tuning can get very expensive.

on 5/22/2007 I don't know if you know anything about cars, but new rims and a cold air intake are hardly modifications. This article is vague and it sounds like you've been playing too much Xbox. Theres a lot more you can do to your vehicle, just do a little research.
