Alright.. Ive got about 900$ I can spend on performance @!#$ for the car.. maybe more. I want to get a heads up as to what others would do.. Right now, i've got an 02 Z24.. Intake, exhaust, springs, wheels and a system. IM curious as to what i want to do.. I know i want to do Carbon Fiber hood and taillights if they make em.. OEM style of course.. So anyone have any clues on what to get that would really up the performance of the car? ANY ideas are welcome! Thanks guys

how about me just having to swap my whole engine out, and now having to do it in the snow!

header and either konis or kyb agx, that should be around 6 or 7 total, then get a set of vibrant strut tower braces for a hundred, and use the rest to buy some beer to celebrate your new mods

wow.. mikeC.. i think i like your suggestions.. suspension does seem like a decent way to go.. but so boring..lmao.. for all those windy hills out here in SAN DIEGO. Anyone have anything in the way of engine internals?

go to the junk yard and get HO manifold and TB ... i got mine for $80 .... then get a armor coated pacesetter header for 250....while in the junkyard see if you can get the cams (LO exhaust cam from 90-94 2.3) and (HO intake cam 95 cavalier/sunfire or olds acheiva that has cam driven power steering) .... i got my cams for $12 each .... now that is about 350 well spent

what kind of gains does it get you?
