Default What Should I spend My $300 on?

Hey guys i only work part time and iv got about 300 dollars set aside for my car at the moment and i have 0 mods done to my car. The only thing i know of that has been done is the stock headers have been changed to Mac U/E headers likeit says in my sig.

What should i do with the 300 dollars? to get the most " bang for my buck " lol.

Well theres a CAI, cam, programmer, catback, x/H pipe or booze and strippers. For some reason booze and strippers sounds good to me right now.

she is too married too. Hopefully that doesn't mean she will be forever.

I guess I could spend my 500 hundred on a radiator and fans tomorrow at the swap meet and write a hooker a bad check tomorrow night like this one guy I know.

Yep. Lawsuit and/or fired. Hooker would be cheaper and they go away afterwards. If you decide to toss it into the car; full-length subframes, 3:73's, and a short throw.

you'll feel the gears the most, bout 150 for the ring and pinion, have to get the bearing kit and get them installed, very percise work, but of all those, you will be happiest with gears, i have 3.73's in my cobra, will have 4.10's installed in september. my vote is gears man, you'll be glad you did.
