Talking just got my hands on a 99 WS-6

I just bought my dream car. I've always wanted to own an LS1 car and I finally got my hands on one. I bought the car wrecked and I'm having it repainted to the factory red. The frame wasn't bent. The front clip and the driver rear quarter was busted up. I'm trying to get some ideas for some easy and some what cheap bolt ons for right now. Any suggestions?

headers, ypipe, catback...or true duals (my preference). do some suspension mods...wheel hop sucks. SFC'S, LCA'S, etc. get a nice pair of dr's for the rear. drop in a cam later, and hold on

you could do the above mods. if its an a4 then definately look into a converter. if its a 6 spd save some money for a rear end cuz they do seem to go out once u start modding.

yea, if its an autodef get a 'verter. i have a 6sod, so that doesnt really jump into my mind when i think of mods. and if its a 6spd, you should plan on getting a new rear eventually. autos's are generally more forgiving when it comes to rears but it wouldnt hurt either way. ive been lucky so far w/ my rear, but my gears just started to whine. so ill probably be picking up a new rear here soon
