    Its actually my first blue vehicle. I find it to be the sexiest.
    Should I make popcorn to have with those beers?

    Yeah, probably a good idea. Like UFC paperview, but better.

    Lighter wheels & tires will always help as long as you dump the OEM run flat a.k.a. "Run Rocks" tires.

    Next you can stiffen up the suspension with better shocks and Swift springs. If you want to spend more money you can step up to coil overs, stronger rear anti-sway bar, adj. rear lower control arms, adj. camber plates and a custom alignment.

    Helix makes the best upgraded Turbo Intercooler hands down.

    Remember the faster you go the more you need to stop so you should consider upgrade brake pads at least.

    You can always add a cold air intake but they do not do much, but a header and exhaust will add a little power.

    So pretty much all I was thinking of. I should mention this is my first turbo car so im trying to learn as I go. Im a firm believer of custom exhausts and have a guy who has done alot of work for me over the years. My e46 went through many setups. Do you recommend certain size piping? Muffler brand and where to locate? I try not to do things half ass.

    I do not have a 2nd Gen so I am not 100% sure on what a clubbie requires.

    I always do things half-assed. Makes it much more fun when it fails and explodes. That's probably why my daily doings have me in safety glasses all day.

    Thanks. Visual mods that to me are a must... I hate chrome. So that all has to get blacked out somehow. Maybe tint. Wheels and "lowering" are handling mods to me.

    I have a condition I affectionately term "wonk-eye." It allows me to instantly envision any object in any orientation I so choose. ;)

    Nah, not really. Even upside down though your Clubman looks nice! :ihih: I have to admit that the Clubbie has a certain charm to it.
