I = Intake
H = Header
E = Exhaust

If you are looking to go fast, you might want to consider trying out nitrous, the F22 is a good motor for what it is. Also, you might want to upgrade your suspension.

well it depends on what you want? If you want to go fast, leave the springs off. But then again you are an auto (sorry not trying to flame) so ur not going to make much power. In my opion get the Intake header and exhaust for the sound and looks and lower it on some 18's. No euro tailights!! that would just be gay. . Oh yeah and get your windows tinted. Maybe it is just me but i hate it when i am at a light and people just stare at me. With tinted windows you can stare back, you know, give them the figure, and go without having to worry about it.

it is just the fact that stock cars started coming out with euro's already on the car. And that i see soo many non-racing or just POS's with them. And it just pisses me off that company's even make them for some of the cars they do. But hey they sell to those people. Gotta make money so how. well actually there are some cars that look good with them. Usually the carbon fiber tailights on say a dark colored car.

There is a reason why they are called altezzas. the other name for the japanese version of the IS300. meaning that they only belong on that car... OT but i remember last year at my school ther was a 4thgen with euros on it. which is just degrading, and i remember how the kid got into an accident and totaled it. for the 4thgen. but those euros had to go

get used to that

as for altezzas..... see avatar, that explains it all.

as for your first mod, I/H/E, i'd start with Intake first, then exhaust, and then a header...... then maybe a trans when you have all that....... and after that it depends on what direction you want to go

Hey i got 30 whp when i wrapped my intake in heat shielding!!! i can prove it!
here it is.... *the finger*

you guys are so nice to each other, i'm glad i haven't made any stupid *** claims about my car. *boom*

i do like working on it though. for ease of installation go first with the intake and get your hands dirty, huh? how about cleaning up the engine and checking hoses, belts, flushing fluids, replacing filters. don't those small things add up to a better performing car? back to it's original performance anyhow.

then when you get your exhaust installed by someone else (probably) - you'll at least have put some blood into your car. (i lose plenty of knuckle blood into my engine - makes it go real fast!)

thanks for the backup Gude....... this ricer/yuppy needs to stop wasting our time with false claims and swamping up threads with useless info.....

as for what japan says, thats a good point, being that its a used car and all, go around and check all the fluids, new belts, etc.... just make sure everything is in good working order, so when you start adding things, you don't have to go back and fix the stupid stuff you should have already done

I say take care of your suspension first as someone stated already. Get some lightweight forged 17" rims, alignment and camber kit for the fronts. Then your ready to handle a little speed... -&gt; Engine mods like the others have stated already.
