This is a pretty broad question to ask. Besides changing your oil, you might find some benefit in cleaning your Alta intake and replacing the spark plugs.

As far as other modifications go, to each their own, but I would say the majority of modded MCS owners get a stiffer rear sway bar and work from there. I wouldn't recommend lowering springs because you live in Canada and you probably need all the ground clearance you can get. You might look into getting some Koni FSD shocks that will improve your ride quality without sacraficing any clearance.

cooper99,

maybe I should narrow down my question. I do change oil every 5000km and clean my Alta intake every 10000km or so.

I have the following mod:


15% pulley
Alta CAI
Miltek header with Magnaflow Catback
Denso plugs
Mini-madness sway
H&R coilover
RDR front camber plate

What else should I do on my car?

Some other miscellaneous ideas that don't cost a fortune that make driving more convenient and enjoyable:

short shift kit
tint job
upgrade hi-beam driving lights
wheel stud conversion
low dust brake pads
paint brake calipers
Light-in-sight.com
ian's auto up
short antenna
radar scanner
Alta intercooler air diverter with sprayer
aero grill install
aftermarket gauges
rear seat delete

....the list is too long.
