im saving up money for mods for my 96 gt conv 5spd. i just got it over the summer has 109,000 miles but runs strong
heres my list of mods i wanna buy in what order should i buy them? would like to get them all on and installed before spring.

current mods:
pro 5.0 shifter
mac catback with thrush turbo mufflers
cold air intake

looking to buy:
new wires-livewires. (dont know when mine were last changed)
plugs-ngk iridum ix
coils-screamin demon
catted x pipe- (bidding on a used bassani on ebay)
magnaflow mufflers
70mm tb and plenum(found setup used for 150 shipped)
powerstop rotors and pads(not sure what condition mine are in have to check)
mgw shifter(pro 5.0 doesnt shift right)
seafoam?

have:
eibach front and rear sway bars (rear snapped)
2 new bfg kdws for the rear

 

why catted x pipe and magnaflow? you might wanna research your exhaust first. but if that is what you want then cool everything else is cool, idk if i'd change the coils though

 

Unless you are having problems with the parts you are looking to replace...you are wasting your money...do a PI swap and for the same or less money you will boost the power by a good bit.

 

why not get gears? And then do the exhaust.

 

+100000 pi swap and gears and exhaust. tb/pl dont really add much for the cost... Also same thing with the coils theres really no reason... And unless the plugs havent been changed in a while there is no reason to change them either... If your on that tight of a budget go for 4.10's first and than lt's with a shorty x pipe and you'll have some fun with that. But its not gonna end there trust me haha. I started with a full exhaust and ended up now with the new motor i have but i still have my full exhaust lol. And im getting my 4.10's in for my birthday tomorrow!

 

its a 96. im sure it could use a tune up, although the performance parts (coils and wires) would be a waste. stock replacements would be fine.

you ever heard of preventative maintenance?

 

i might hold off on replacing the coils wires and plugs.
id like 4:10s but i think im gonna hold off for now.
i wanna start with basic bolt ons i can do myself then later get a new clutch,flywheel,4:10s and a new engine.

 

id really like a catted x and magnapacks but my catback wont fit magnapacks.
dont want a o/r x pipe cause i dont wanna go through the hassle of changing it out for emissions.

catted x and magnaflows sounds good,not as good as magnapacks or an o/r x but still an awesome sound.

 

thats the wrong approach IMO. the first mods that I tihnk should be done to a car is make it osund good and then 4.10's, 4.10's dwarf any other bolt on there is.period. i just got mine in last night and that sum bitch hauls

 

You ever heard, "If it ain't broke don't fix it"? If the car is running fine why would you need to get new coils? that is just a waste. My car is almost 10 years old, but I am not going to go changing out parts "for preventive maintenance".
