I bought my '97 cl from a lady who had done nothing to her car. I want to start working on my car, but have no idea where to start. What should i do first?

 

take yer big ugly air resonator out.. its in the wheel well.. just riper out .. and slam it to the ground with some coil overs

 

ummm.. not a bad first step, but an easier, cosmetic feature would just be tint!!!

 

My first mods were lights, gauges, then an intake. Did cost too much.

 

clear bumper lenses and tint and new bulbs in the front end for looks.
Intake or remove resonator and get K&N air filter for performance/gas mileage

Easy first steps.

 

didn't cost too much.

 

Welcome to the CLub! Hope you enjoy your ride as much as we all do.
What color and is it 2.2 or 2.3 or 3.0 etc?
Peace.

 

Hey welcome to the club!

First I would get some tint put on.
Then some clear corners.
After that some springs and a set of 18's.
Intake after that.

thats a good start for now!

 

Hey! Welcome to the Club! I just started doing things to my car. Take a look below....

 

i'd say lower it with springs and get lights and intake if ur short on cash...then expand later

 

Slam it, do lighting last.

 

I did my stuff in the order they are in my signature and i realy havent spent that much $ yet

 

do anything first and the rest will just flow natyrally... doing MODS is like a drug... you cant stop the addiction to it!!!

 

but at least not like drugs you have something to show for all your $ not just memories of how fucked up you were

 

This is true!

 

yes.. definitle agreed on... get a better rush with your car goinmg 90+... then a drug too....

 

I know this is a stupid question, but what does taking out the resonator do? i have a 97 3.o and all ive done is a K&N drop in. Will removing the resonator tube help in power?

 

LYLE.. welcome to the board... removing resignator will do 2 things if I am not mistaken... first it will clear the airpath and produce a smoother air floew without resistance... yes it provides some(minimal) performance...

then #2 is an increase(not loud) hum in ewxhaust!!

I think I am correct.. someone back me or correct me!!!
