Start with the suspension, then wheels/tires, then engine... There are body add-ons and spoilers if you like Swedish rice too.

Tell her to begin her mod with the purchase of an S2000. S40??? c'mon, that thing is barely a Volvo, more like a Volvo wannabee.

Thanks guys. I had no idea this thread would get so moany hits. Sounds like her best bet is to trade up. She was thinking about this. But the car is definitely paid for. Ill giver the link to the thread and let her see the responses. Lol@the s2000 comment. As for visual mods she only has a lip kit and tints. She just got her turbo fixed along with basic maintenance. But my mod big was contagious

Disagree with some of the comments. The T5 can be made pretty quick with a reflash and exhaust.
Coming from a 2.0t in my new TT I gained about 30hp and 50lbft from a flash and it's a night and day difference.
EVOLVE S40 T5 Performance Software
Increased Power (+34 HP) & Torque (+37 Lb-ft.)
Add an exhaust/downpipe and can add some more power.
