Easy beginner mods for Au 1 forte?

[Hamish7]

I have just got my hands on a 1999 Forte and i'm eager to get into modifying it but dunno whats the best way to start, cold air intake etc? Any suggestions?

Best bet is to give us a budget and explain what you want. Ie. Bling, Peformance, Audio, Look nice and Sound Tuff???

[JoesAu]

do exhaust u'll like the sound, do it first as well put a smile on your dial.

There's been about a thousand threads like this before. Do a search at the top of the page.

[aye you]

as ford au man said, give us a bugdet. also i'd like to draw your attention to the following

it is a good read for someone in your position.

Also, a decent mod for the seires 1 is to slap in some series 2/3 rear tail lights

OK 5k nice budget to start with.

In my opionion and that just mine if i was to start modding now with the knoledge i have i would go with:

Full Exhaust Headers to Tips: Di Filippo about $1350 Fitted

Flash Tune $1500

Diff Gear: anywhere from 3.73, 3.9, 4.11 depending on the amount of highway k's you do about $1500

Airbox: Xr8 Pod upgrade with BMC filter about $250

Lowering: Kings Springs in your size about $400

and that comes to five k and that would be a tough car. If you have and questions ask away.

Thanks Jake

Cheers for that. I got one question what ride height do you recommend for front and back with the stock forte bumpers?

Before you do anything, get rid of the whale teeth and put in a new Grille. you'll feel much better each time you look at it.
