Newby with 850R ...where do I start... 850 97

posted by  someone claiming to be steve on  Tue Feb 6 05:41 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I am the proud new owner of a '97 850R wagon. Its in perfect condition with 46k miles. What would be the first things you would do to start improving things, ie. better performace and handling? Since the original owner did a great job with mantainence I can bypass that part. I was thinking of starting with all the cheap and free things first, ie. K&N filters, moving the horn locations, etc. but any other restrictive pieces that would benefit replacing with a high performance part? Are sway bars and strut tower braces needed? Any suggestions on making this car more fun to drive is greatly appreciated.
