      i'm sorta torn on this myself. i bought the aveo as a daily use car because of how easy it is to drive and the gas mileage it gets. my suburban is a great truck and i love it but it eats me out of house and home. am i ready to sacrifice the aveos fuel economy for power?

      Just make it fun to drive, there are not really any go fast things for it. You can do the intake and exhaust and the car will drive for a while with very little money put into it.

      I have lowering springs, modified intake, modified exhaust, 15" Rotas and 205/15/50 Ecsta SPT's. The car gets all sorts of good comments, but its definately not a race car. I'm about to roll 60k and other than oil changes, the only things it needed were a timing belt, water pump, and a battery. I live in Vegas so 3 years out of the stock battery is pretty damn good. I'm still on the stock brake pads even and they currently have about 8mm.

      All that said, I'm trading the car in soon, I'm just waiting for the right Rx8 to show up used.

      so intake and exhaust is your best bet?
      would smaller wheels be a better bet as well?

      it has happened...only old timers will remember that tho, it was that white aveo hatch from proboard days...yea 16s or 15s would def be better and even better would be lightweight wheels....it all depends on how much you want to spend

      as was said earlier, the veo is more of a fun car, not a fast car. all we can do is the basics and then hope that some companies will be nice and start popping out performance mods.

      please stop calling it NOS. NOS is a brand. Nitrous is the actual name. You can not beat the price/performance value of nitrous. With all the proper safety equipment, nitrous is very safe. And no, it wont tear the motor apart. get that F&F crap outta here
