Looks, or power?

Both!
Do one before the other?
Simultaneously?

I think that I don't know what to think.

"Go" before "Show"

This guy agrees. All GO, then a lil show (not really though):

My 2 cents worth.. A bit late.

Having heavily modified an RS13 Nissan... Engine built by the guy who used to build the F1 engines for the Jordan Formula 1 Team. A Big Brake Kit. Fully Adjustable Rose jointed Suspension (including track and TEIN coilovers) and then trying to quieten down the Blitz Nur Spec R with 3 Inch Down pipe / Cat replacement...

I would now go for looks, which is what I'm doing. NISMO 2015 kit on a Roadster with an exhaust a filter upgrade and a remap... with TEIN coilovers (and EDFC Active Pro) I have a 7AT also......

FWIW, Hard / Track suspension does not make a girl with a massive rack happy

For info. My CA18DET spec was:

Forged JE Pistons to SE Spec (8.0:1 Compression ratio)
Forged I Beam Rods
Billet Knife Edged Crank
Fully Lightened and balanced
Gas Flowed Cylinder Head with Tomei Poncams 260 Duration, 8.8mm lift. Exhaust and Inlet Ported.
JUN Compassion Valve Springs
JUN Hyperlight Flywheel
Wills Ringed block (Could use a standard head gasket
Engine never missed a beat. with Silkolene Esther Synthetic
Garret 2871R at 1.7 bar boost

Would I do it again? No. Go for looks. Women don't care how fast a car goes. They prefer how good they look in it. Why I chose a Roadster for my GF

I haven't even altered the Stereo. (The S13 had a few KW JL Audio in it)

If you are going to spend thousand making it go faster etc. Buy a faster car in the first place. It's like twin turboing a G37 or buying an M5. I'd get the M5
