    Default $1000-$2000 Bucks to spend help needed

    Ok, i have a 2004 Vy executive. Its lowered has 17" Vy SS rims and is colour coded quiksilver to match the duco, has dark tint and a decent stereo set up. But i wanna put some money into it on the performance side what would 1-2k get me? It has sports exhaust and thats it. What sort of things would make it go alot better with a budget of $1000-$2000

    are extractors worth the money? also thinking about upgrading to climate control is this hard to fit?

    if you want it to go better then yes

    personally if i were you with your budget id get extractors, 1.9:1 roller rockers, and diff gears.... the rest of the stuff can be done later on down the track in bits and pieces as they arent very hard to install

    as stated with the above go with that, the climate control isnt worth the effort, if you really want it buy a berlina


    i have to ask tho is iridium plugs worth it on an ecotec? i suppose they will last longer but do they increase performance?

    Better spark = better performance. They are worth it imo.
