I can do the suspension myself, but the cam work and prolly most of the other stuff will be done by my buddy who works at a local shop back home.

I jsut need to find out what i need to do to get a fun DD

Mods I would do with that kind of money in no order:
-Bigger brakes to help you stop better when you add more power and SS brake lines
-Coil-overs or lowering springs (depending on how much you want to spend) to help you handle the car better when you add more power
-F/I of some sort, a good intercooler, and a good tune "The best bang for the buck"
-Gears. 3.73 gears if you go F/I. 4.10 gears if you stay N/A.
-Short-shifter (highly recommend a MGW)
-Chin spoiler
-New wheels/tires

Or you can do longtubes, 4.10s, some decent suspension work, good tire for the rear and 100 shot. Save your money. You mine as well take the money out on the bank and **** on it and let the wind blow it away. Are you planning on keeping the car? If not, I wouldn't do a damn thing to it that I couldn't take off and return back to stock if I were selling.

If you are keeping it, I'd do a coilovers, longtubes/full exhaust, good sticky *** tires, some cosmetic mods, and 100-125shot for when you feel like gettin' friskayyyy.

i dont really wanna buy a built, It sounds stupied, I would rather do as much of the work myself, and have that satisfaction. Its gonna be a DD, so i dont wanna drp 4k on a new block just to drive from home to work.

Any suggestion on spoiler's? I'm putting a Cobra R front bumper on it, and thinking imma Do a ram air style hood vinyl wrapped. Should go good with the grey color
