Default Appreciate some help with my car.

I'm interested in making my car more fun to drive. The only modifications I've done thus far is , ram inake, unorthodox pulleys, headers, exhaust, short throw, front and rear strut bar and a lower strut bar. I recently purchase megan full coilovers and a zex dry kit. I'm interested in doing a 35 shot at the most. I don't want to get a turbo. I recently got a cam gear and am having a hard time finding a camshaft for my car. Only one company I can find at this point. My question is, is it worth it to upgrade the camshaft? What other things should I start upgrading. I'm not looking to make a hot rod. I just want some extra power to expletive with. If you also wouldn't breaking down the different things that should be upgraded next. IE suspension, engine. Thanks a lot for the help.

In my opinion, a fun car is a car that can satisfy your needs when you need it. Like if I were to make my EM2 a "fun" car. I'd buy the best brake set-up and suspension set-up there is out there. My idea of a fun car is a car that can handle and hug corners really well.

But to answer some of your questions. I think you've got yourself a good start. I wouldn't have gone with the laughing gas but that's just me. As for camshafts, I can't really find any.

If I were you I'd make my car handle better. And you've already got some of the parts for a decent suspesion set-up. Maybe upgrade your brakes?

They got every part for the D17 just about. couple different camshafts depending on what you want. If your wanting some power, just stick a turbo on it and be done with it. Im gonna wait till I get up enough $$$ and just do the whole engine from top to bottom and see what kind of numbers I can get. Probably about 300-350 with a great setup but hey, that will beat a stock EVO or STi, thats all I want to do. lol
No matter what you do just make sure its what you want and don't let everyone persuad you to do what they think is cool or whatever, its yours!
