Taking my DC5R's virginity (modifying hehe)

[akira]

So about two months ago, I purshased a Silver dc5r, completely stock . I've decided to start modding - the purpose of this thread if to help me decide what to do first, inparticularly, inbetween exhaust (catback atm) or an cai (or anything else). The two I've had in mind are gruppem short ram, and the fujitsubo powergetter/rm01a (also id like to know specific differences inbetween these two) I'm low on $$$$ most of the time, so it'll be awhile before my next modification. I'd like to know which one will make my driving experience more amazing than it already is/which makes a better first mod .

Thanks alot, much appreciated

I would go the intake first so you can enjoy the intake sound without the exhaust note over powering it. That's just because I prefer intake sound to an exhaust note. I only came to that conclusion after putting both on though!

Intake, Coilovers =P

[the one]

intake headers exhaust !!!!

congrats on the decision to start man, you WILL enjoy

I started a thread similar to this a little earlier, take a look

IMO, i love my exhaust and intake but coilovers made the biggest difference

This guy! ^^^^

Makes a huge difference mate, less wheel hop, better transfer of power to the wheels/road

How much are decent ones worth?

I recommend hardrace. A little more vibration then stock but worth the money. I got mine for 390 at jdmyard but you could find them cheaper somewhere. Dont cheap out on engine mounts

this is true.

rm01a actually enhances the deep n/a growl that an intake gives though.

i heard engine mounts also make shifting at high rpm more accurate as at time its hard to find 3rd gear when shifting from 2nd.

For your first mods I would recommend to do the mods that make the biggest difference, IMO...

Coilovers ---> Engine mounts ---> Intake
