When you upgrade your car, do you start from the engine first? or do you start from exterior upgrading?

Post subject:  Re: for every car builder

Nothing Wrong with Fail Wheel Drive... The thing is it's a stratus though... But dont get a 5.Gay Not worth the swap imo.

I wouldn't do anything to try to make that stratus faster... not worth it... you gotta spend bank just to make it kinda quick.
As for what I do first... depends on the car... TA was intake, exhaust, suspension, stereo system, wheels then paint job. Now I gotta fix shit and decide if I really wanna build it...
Truck... only headers for now, but I gotta decide whether I wanna swap in a built engine or paint it next...
Camry... pulled emblems then got exhaust then a system and now have a very hard time justifying spending any money modding it. LOL If I do do anything else it will be nitrous though.
Eclipse... bought it with everything already, but got speakers for it... and some lights and shit

x2, i think it's funny when people put tons of money into their suspension and only got something like intake/exhaust... i can see it with fbodys though since you gotta upgrade the rear end anyways lol

Actually it does. It will always be worse than rwd. Anything thats been done with a FWD car was already done years ago with a rwd.

True, it will always be worse, but with an at least semi decent suspension setup they are not as bad as hondas and what not make them seem. It is true, that rwd will always be better for obvious physical reasons. But with a proper suspension setup the traction difference between the 2 is not as bad lol.

it really depends on what the car is for... daily driver wise get rims and suspension first.. then intake headers..etc cat... if its a garage project get right to the engine slap on some steelies for the rims and call it a day until you really show it off
