First things first- learn proper grammer, and spelling. You might want to ask less vague questions, and gives us a little more info. Such as what year, model, turbo? converted....goals, budget. Searching your questions before posting them may yield faster results with less criticism like this.

well before you do any real upgrades, I suggest that you get the basic maintenence on the car out of the way. Change all your fluids, your oil, belts, and so forth. ....Just my two cents. ohh and congrats on the FC, is it an s4 or an s5?

First car eh? Maintenance first... Read the stickies.

your probably gonna want new suspension and too do maintenance on the brakes before the motor also

^agreed
+ telling what trim model you have and year will help.

The best mod I can suggest for a n/a fc is safcii. For under 300 buck(counting a good tune) youll get a notice able kick and better gas mileage. Just let a somewhat knowledgeable person tune it. ALso look in the archaves for the beefy n/a thred.

Looks like it's in really good condition man, congratulations.

Don't **** it up.

Before you start going crazy with mods I'd suggest learning to drive it first. Attend an Auto-x event and start getting into that. It will really teach you car control and it's a **** ton of fun.

wheels and tires is always good. go W-I-D-E and high performance rubber. No cheap stuff. Lightweight alloys are your best bet.

+2 beefy na thread in the 2nd gen archive Have a realistic view of what you can get our of an NA. 300hp is not in your future. Neither is 200rwhp, without a lot of work and money. The RB mid-pipe/presilencer and cat-back are the biggest and most cost-effective gains you'll see on hp, short of some serious porting, so after making sure you've covered the regular maintenance, some attention to suspension will probably help you in terms of maintaining momentum . Racing Beat's springs and bars package is a pretty good street/light track use suspension upgrade - you can certainly go more aggressive on springs, but it will cost you in terms of a harsh ride. If your car has the GXL or sport package (5 lug hubs, 4piston brakes front, vented disks rear), it already has pretty good brakes, but some good street performance pads like Hawk HPS will get the most out of them without turning your wheels black.

Nice n/a!

FIRST, do all the cheduled maintainence from nose to tail, start pre-mixing, and then go to an auto-x. The car is almost 20 y/o, so first things first.

The mods that I have been most pleased with have always been wheels/tires/suspension. You're never going to make this car into a 1/4 mile beast without pulling the engine, so stick with what it's good at. After you can throw it around a turn right, then work on intake/exhaust so you get better response from the engine.

I'm happy with a CAI, test pipe (instead of pre-cat), and maganflow converter. Wouldn't mind an RB catback though...
