Why does this rotary guy always offer a really unhelpful comment without any real advice

What the hell are you talking about. Theres plenty fo advice in "Get a new car". How do you know if i ALWAYS give no advice, you registered yesterday. Keep your mouth shut, because i dont see you giving any advice newjack.

Deja fucking Vu.

Once again Chad posting "Get the fuck off this site"

Just that comment must be attributed to at least 50 or so of his posts.

As for the Stanza...... it's not really a good platform to build from but if it's all you got or can get.......

Tein coilovers (if available) to lower and increase handling.

Cold air intake, throttle body and exhaust. You can do these yourself and then you can start with internals.

I vote to look for something else. Being original and doing a car that pretty much nobody modifies is a cool thing to do, but if you're just starting out, you might end up spending a bunch of $ and then end up selling your car at a loss because of the money you spent on it. Plus, by doing something more tried and true, there is already a knowledge base of what and what not to do. I don't know what kind of money you plan to spend, if you want show or go, what kind of mechanical experience you have or who can help you, but I just suggest picking up some magazines and looking and different cars before you decide what to do. Also, the internet, as always, has a huge amount of info. If you want to stick with imports, try these websites: www.sportcompactcarweb.com , www.superstreetonline.com , www.importtuner.com , www.eurotuner.com (I think). Also, I think it was either streetracing.com or streetracingonline.com that had a whole section under "Articles" about different cars to start with, their cost, the possibilities, that sort of thing. If you decide to go domestic, you'll have to decide which era to go for, because the possibilities are more or less unlimited (well, except maybe by cost). Good luck with whatever you decide, sorry for all the unrelated bs that goes back and forth. Josh

I know enough to get me in trouble.

And I know that itch I got from your mother can be soothed by precription medication.

No. But I can't believe with all those tornadoes and hurricanes I see on U.S. television that your trailer court has yet to be hit.
