Hello

Joined the forum as I just bought a 2005 2.0L gen 3.5 coupe after scrapping my previous 1.6 gen 2 coupe. Completely different driving experience between the 2 cars, I think the gen 2 was slightly better balanced than the gen 3.5 but the gen 3.5 has better grip and feels more planted.

I'm going to be using it as a daily driver but want to upgrade it for track running, would like to make some improvements for power but want to focus on the handling to begin with so was thinking on buying lower and upper strut braces, suspension and brakes.
For power and better response, the upgrades I want to make initially are just the standard upgrades, K&N 57I induction, magnaflow cat and upgraded cat back. The clutch also needs doing, so may get a stage 1 clutch kit since it needs done anyway and possibly a lightened flywheel at the same time.

So I will picking a few brains around here fro time to time.

Regards
