My first car
Monday, March 09, 2009 8:18 AM
Hi. My name is Austin, I'm 17 and I just bought my first car. It's a 1998 Cavalier Z24. I've been trying to think of some ideas and some sites to help me get my car along. I want to turbo it in the future, but for now I want little add ons to help me maximize my performance. And ideas? Thanks...

x2, These should give you a decent amount of extra power. If you want more you can also adjust your fuel and get a good tune out of it.

I'm from Neeses. It's just a really little town in the middle of no where. As for upgrades on my car, I have an intake on it and have an OBX Racing header on the way. I've been trying to find the best Cat-back system, but I haven't found one that suits me yet...and sugestions? I know they all pretty much do the same thing, but i want reliability along with the performance for my full satisfaction...

About the pictures, i'm working on getting some more. I have some on my profile though.

I would build your own. If you don't plan on turboing it in the near future go with 2.25" piping, a high-flow cat, a resonator, and your muffler of choice. Take your res. muffler and cat to an exhaust shop and have them weld it up. It's usually cheaper than buying one, and you get exactly what you want. Welcome to the org!

Yup. Well I thought about asking my friend to do me a custom exhaust (he drives a 2004 Focus SVT Supercharged) but i didn't want the trouble so i thought of just buying one. I've also been trying to find some side skirts (the very body piece below the door). I need both sets if anyone has any or knows where I can find some. I've tried eBay and I couldn't find any without going aftermarket, but I PREFER the stock ones. I appreciate it. Thanks.

Neeses... I've heard of it, but not quite sure where it is. I'm from the upstate about an hour below Greenville.
