My sister has a 2.0. Are there any worth while mods i could do to it? I dont know if its worth the effort, its pretty slow, but it would be cool to get my sister more interested in modding cars.

An automatic 2.0?
I have a 5 speed TDI with 90 hp.
Ask your sister if she wants to race for pink slips... hahaha
I wouldn't modify that car. No offense but $3,000 later it is still going to get it's ass handed to it by stock Japanese economy cars.
The 2.0 is not a performance engine no matter how many thousands of dollars you waste trying to convince yourself it is.

"Put an exhaust,chip and a cam and it will outrun your gli.If it is still stock.I was faster then my friends 16v gti with these mods."
a chipped/exhaust/cammed 2.0 will NOT outrun a stock 1.8l/2.0l 16v thats running in good tune.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you need to come out of the little world you live in and find someone to give you a ride in their 2.0 turbo, auto or stick, it will SMOKE a stock Japanese car, aside from a WRX, but even those can be beaten by a properly tuned Dub

it is better to be an idiot and not say anything rather then open your mouth and prove it

You can get a chip and a K&N filter for the car for around $150. Fairly cheap and a noticable improvement.
Might be enough of a 'power increase' to whet her appitite for more mods. But, if she doesn't want to tune it further, you're not out too much cash.

Agreed! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Funniest part is that the WRX uses a 2.0l turbocharged engine
... 'course it's not a VW 2.0 but I still think that's funny

Yeah, that is a horiz. opposed 2.0 at that... I wish more manufacturers made horiz. opp. engines... they are really smooth

I got a ride in a wrx once... really cool... the power on those are so smooth that during a 0-60 you can't believe your actually accelerating that fast.
