I would certinly do some suspension mods. At least Springs and Shox. It will make your car look a whole lot better looking and it will out handle 98% of everything on the road.

Short Shifter (If your a 5-Speed)

Interior Goodies

Sway Bars, if you buy one at a time.

Also look into a set of pulley's, it's alittle more then $100 but worth a good 10 HP, unless you have alot of stereo equipment this would be a good mod.

I have a amp and 1 12inch sub is this a bad mod for me?

*ca18guy* · 07-30-2001, 12:45 PM

How much power is the amp pushing?  I don't know how good the alternater is in a 240sx (i'm sure someone here knows)  but i doubt it would effect it that badly. Anyone that has done the pulley mod could tell you if the felt it sapped the alternater.

I think that the plugs and wires might be something to look into, actually a whole new ignition contol box if you're really looking to squeeze all the power you can out of the engine.

i have a 2x200w ppi, also a 4x100 ppi 2 10's and polk mids and highs, have the asp pulley installed and feel no problems.

The stock Ignition system is more then capable everything until you go with a Turbo or NOS setup. Although Plugs can be a worthwhile mod if your car has a lot of miles on it the plugs can get worn out causing them to not run at their max efficiency.
