Basic things to do with your IX

I had the same question. I decided to go to Buschur racing, and got:

Buschur Racing 3" TBE with off-road race pipes and BR bullet muffler
Buschur Racing Mass Air Pipe & Filter Kit
Buschur Racing FMIC (Race)
Buschur Racing Lower and Upper ICP for BR (Race) IC
Buschur Racing MBC
Buschur Racing Mini Battery Kit
With those items alone you'll notice your car will have an extra kick. Also get it tuned to get the governed limiter off. That's what I'll be doing so I can get my car running at its optimal potential before it's final build.

How about a new deck? The one it comes with is straight out of the 90's... I'm looking for a MP3/USB/HD-Ready deck with stock color matching

Current list:
-Apexi EXV coilover
-K&N drop in
-Samco induction tube
-Espelir Catback
-20% tint
-Shorty antenna
-McCulloch 5000K HID's

Within the next couple of weeks I will be adding the following:
-JDM rear
-MR wheels

I installed T-Bolt clamps and switched around the gauges and the radio. That was 2 years ago and I still have no cosmetic mods and probably never will.
