Yea, your sig wont show up because youre on your blackberry. Thats how it always is when you get on MF on a cell phone, besides the iPhone. Anyways, I got bored with my car too my friend. But then i bought something big for my car. I bought my wheels. It was the first like $1000+ thing that ive done to my car and it made me love it all over again!!! For you, i'd think a nice set of MM lower control arms, FLSFC's, and some new shocks and struts all around would make you enjoy your car again. Also, i dont remember how low your car is but if my memory isnt all bad, your car wasnt THAT low. If its not, changing springs might be another idea to consider to something like the H&R supersports or something along those lines. Also, an change in catback might help too. But other than the stuff above, try changing the rear tires to a d/r or some other kind of sticky street tire, and then do cams and/or spray or supercharge it. You need to do something bigger to the car to make you feel like youre not bored with it anymore. Also a new hood might satisfy too. Just throwing out ideas man. Good luck.

well going faster = more money lol

i would say cams and juice

but i agree with teej281....change the mufflers or some suspension changes if you dont want to go nuts.

you have TB/plenum? if not toss those on, every little bit helps. maybe some pulleys

theres so much more you can do to make it 10x faster

1 cams
2 heads
3 better intake
4 nitrous
5 under drive pulleys
6 Upgraded plenum & TB
7 dyno tune

The sky is the limit with appearance mods, but those are just the obvious performance upgrades you could make

well if you're bored and dont want to dig into the engine (heads and cams) or go with FI then you're limited to little bolt ons....

if that is the case then do the pulleys, tb/plenum, CAI, gears (you have) and a dyno tune.

Not sure what all you have or what you can get away with, but long tube headers, mid pipe, and custome tune will give you some instant horse without the cost of the SC.
