RE: JUST PICKED UP A NEW TOY
Ok so how old are you? Do you live in CA? haha. Cold air intake off of ebay will run just about the same as a k&n filter. So just do that. 3.73 gears and the exhaust. With the gears you really will need a stiffer suspension so you may want to look into some upper and lower control arms, if you are concerned with the harshness of the ride get the box type not the circular ones, they give a little more and create a more comfortable ride. Sub frame connectors will kep the body straight and ofcourse the number one thing you should do is a good ol tune up, get familiar with workin on the car. New fuel filter, sparkplug wires, cap & rotor, sparkplugs will do great. Any questions?

HAHA to answer that, I'm across the states in good ol' MI, and I'll be 20 this year
LOLWell, gave her a tune up this past weekend. New sparkplugs, thermostat, radiator hose (and a few other things) basic oil change, new tranny fluid etc etc... The engine compartment was cleaned out and repainted because the kid that owned it before me decided to be gay and spray paint everything red (especially made it look bad considering he didn't tape off anything so it got all over) It was so embarrasing to pop the hood! Not anymore though!
I don't think I'm shooting for switching up the gears. I like her the way she is. Maybe super charge her when I get some cash saved up. Def shooting for some different wheels. Maybe thinking about going black for wheels. Seen one the other day looked hot. Exhaust sounds hot as hell for now. There aren't any mufflers (just straight pipe ;oP)
Man, I cannot get enough of this car. You can't get me out of it! I loooove driving her. Can't believe it took me this long to own a stick! [sm=gears.gif]
