Re: What would i expect with these mods..
If I were you, I wouldn't spend too much on mods for a N/A.
Leave it as your daily driver, keep it clean, and take care of it. These cars can be very reliable daily drivers if taken care of and there's no shame in driving around a sharp car for a DD even if it's not lightning fast.
If you want something fast, save up and get a VR4 or RT/TT in the future as your non daily driver (if you can afford it, or sell the N/A for the TT as your new DD). Even with all the basic bolt on mods you can perform you'll be lucky to get into the 14's.
You will get a dozen people telling you "Don't mod an N/A, that's stupid. Buy a VR4" although they do have a point.
N/A's, especially auto's, are not going to be fast unless you invest a lot of time, effort, and money into them that would be better spent on a better (faster) starting point platform, such as a VR4. If you throw $1000 into an N/A you'll be looking at a 15 second car still. On the other hand, if you throw $1000 into a VR4, you can be sitting in the 12's.
Still, there is nothing wrong with doing a couple things to your N/A like an exhaust and intake, just don't go balls out and spend a pretty penny on anything. That's just my opinion.
