For a first mod I suggest an SR20. I know you dont want to get one, but you really really really should. Or at least when you can afford it. Try driving stock for a few weeks see what the KA can do. Then maybe the Injen CAI (w/ the extension of course). But I say go with the SR. Just dont buy any other mods. Cut back on groceries. Maybe a little man whoring if you need to and BAM that motor is yours <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Post some pics of the ride when you get a chance.

Cool! &nbsp;Welcome to the club...and the forum!

I would definately recommend driving it stock for a couple weeks to a month just to get a good feel for the car, that way you'll appricate each mod even more.

I can't give any recommendations on a first mod w/out haveing a price range or what you want to do with the car (ie: power/handeling/looks)

Give us some more info and we'll give you more recommendations. &nbsp;Give us pictures too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> we love those...

Cheap Mod: Injen Intake.
Middle Mod: Injen Intake + Cold Air Extension
Pricey Mod: Quality springs and shocks + better tires.

You'll get more fun out of the springs and shocks, but you'll get a bit of a power boost from the Intake.

have fun.

Congrats on the S14! &nbsp;There are always your basic bolt on mods for the KA like exhaust, intake, & headers. &nbsp;However if you do plan on doing an SR swap anytime in the future, it would be best to buy product that will work with your SR. &nbsp;The Exhaust bolts up the same to the KA as the SR. &nbsp;Another thing you might want to work on after you've got the feel for your car, is upgraded suspension. &nbsp;There are tons of mods you can do, but it all depends on your budget of course
