On my '95 SE i have the Injen CAI, and bosch platinum +4 plugs...soon, sportlines and tokico blue's...what do you think i should do next? get the Apexi N1, header (don't know what kind yet), or start saving stuff for my (small) system? i'm only gonna get like one 12" or sumthing kinda small like that. then new door panel speakers and all that stuff. prolly 3 ways if i can find ones i want. what would YOU do?

Ben,

What do you want to do with it? I am personally biased toward performance mods, but it all depends on your goals. The exhaust would complement your CAI well. I'd replace the cat with a dump pipe as well (if you can get away with it). Do you race?

aunvoh, i doubt i'll do any swaps. in the future, i'll prolly just turbo my KA. i'd have to get it rebuilt and everything first tho. 115k miles wouldn't go well w/ forced induction. biggie, i've ordered a front strut bar which should be here tomorrow. since i have an SE, i already have the OEM rear strut bar, so the next suspension stuff i do will be sway bars. repo man, after i do suspension i'm most likely gonna do more performance stuff. at least until i have alot of the stuff that isn't a huge upgrade. i.e. turbo, NOS, etc. but, my front 4 speakers aren't working so i'm kinda wanting to get my new CD deck and get a sub and amp in the trunk, just so i can have some music. oh yea, new door panels speakers also. but, my monitary income isn't that large right now, so its all happening VERY VERY slowly:( one of these days, when me and my friend start our business, i'll be rich and do anything i want to my baby:cool:

Hell, you didn't say four of your speakers weren't working! That would definitely be my next purchase as long as the car was running right and no critical parts (like brakes) need replacing. Going w/o music sucks. No doubt, do the stereo next. My brother is building a mack-daddy stealth system in his Altima. It helps when you can do that stuff yourself.

What kind of business are you starting?

Um, I think you mean rear sway bar not strut bar :) Don't get 3way for the door, its pointless since all the highs will just hit your leg, that's why they put the tweeters up in the frame so you can actually hear the front :) Just stick with a good two way, like polk. Also as for mods definetly get the front and rear sway bars and get a rear strut bar to match the front. Then you could replace all your bushings with polyurathane, if you don't mind squeeking, then you suspension would be nice.

Hey man,

Im all about upgrading your system first. If youre gonna get a sub, might I suggest getting JL Audio subs. You can get a 12w0 with an enclosure for not too much and believe me, it'll hit harder and sound clearer than any 12-inch from best buy. But thats just my opinion. They also make awesome speakers and amps

yea, i meant sway bar. music is important to me, but as long as i have at least 2 speakers workin, i'm content with it. i'd rather get some performance stuff b4 i get a system. my system isn't gonna be huge anyway, like i said. and the business we are thinking about starting is gonna be one of two things. either an import car dealership, or a detailing shop. we're not sure, considering it won't be for a while anyway. but, its a thought.
