1. Ditch the ebay intake.

2. Remove the fart cannon

3. sell the solara

4. buy a civic

5. install the fart cannon on the civic

If you want to defend your ebay intake post a pic and take a diameter measurement

There is not IF get rid of the cannon pick out something tasteful and have a shop custom fab you an exhaust with a decent resonator. USE the search and check out peoples sigs they have useful links.

sounds like someone struck a nerve.......hrmmmmm?


to answer the question, you need to ask yourself if you're going for performance or style... then you need to ask yourself if you're going to spend real money on it, or fake money on it. because all quality mods on the lara cost real money (like for real for real).

if you want style (which is probably a better priority since you're an auto) then go w/ lowering, tint, and wheels, and a TRD kit, if you can find one. excluding the price of the wheels, you will probably end up spending $1200-1500.

if you really want performance, you will probably have to start from square 1: ebay intakes are notoriously poor quality, and fart cans on lara's are just blasphemous. start with the CPE intake, then get a JPP full exhaust system, then get the trd s/c. along the way you will probably want to upgrade your sway and strut bars.
so after all the performance mods i listed, you probably would spend about $8000


or you could always put a 150 shot of naws in your car, and blow up your engine. but it'd be HELLA-TYTE! :drinking:

if you plan on spending fake money (read: not real money), then i'd follow midias plan of action. get a civic like everyone else, and buy the commonplace cheaper mods. modding a lara is not cheap because there's very little aftermarket support...so what is available is goign to be much more expensive (not every highschool kid can buy a lara for modding purposes...while most can afford a $3-5k civic to fxck around with).

I agree, ditch the small intake you got, for a CP-e intake or somethin'.
As for the fart cannon, ditch that for either a TRD muffler, or Apexi W/S exhaust, or for a Greddy Evo exhaust, but if you money then dish some money for a JIC Magic TI exhaust.
That's what should be next, before any other mods.
