i recently came into ownership a 95 AT base model with the 3.8L . what are some of the best and most benifical engine upgrades? do they make superchargers for the 3.8?? that is more for curiousity sake. would like some extra horsies to play with as the car has 165k and has lost some of it's initial zest i'm sure. catch me at porsche 944 at shaw period ca
Are you sure you want to dump good money into that car? Anything that would make a significant difference would cost as much or more than the car is worth!
You can probably find a 94/95 GT for what you could get for that car plus a grand or two. I certainly wouldn't bolt a SC onto a 165K engine.
Sorry, but I have to agree. 165k is a lot of miles to just begin thinking about performance. If the car is in healthy shape still... you could do it... but you wouldn't enjoy it as long as if it were younger. Know what I mean? If you want a little extra "pep"... maybe gears? brb door... YAY my flowmaster mufflers came in!

He personally e-mailed me instead of posting to NG:
yes it does. that's why it's time to upgrade... exhaust, suspension and tires/rims 4 handling, etc... ideas?
First you need to decide what you're going to use the car for. Plan it out entirely. Is it a drag racing car? Is it a car that will see lots of turns at high speeds? Etc.
Mods that won't hurt regardless are generally suspension mods. Subframe connectors, shocks, struts, etc. Exhaust depends on what is done to the motor. You have damn near endless options here.. need to decide what you want your car to do first.
