For the 93:

2nd new carpet is on it'* way, finish the new interior, ported and ceramic coated manifolds & drossover pipe, high flow cat, performance muffler, new tubes and tips while I'm at it, some sort of CAI, body work with replacement parts, paint....

I only have everything left.

If you're talking performance, ditch the 17'*, and don't consider 18'*. They're slowing you down.


Moving this to performance.
I'm more into laid back cruising. I want performance don't get me wrong but I don't plan on racing people. I'll probally stick with the 17'* for awhile since their new. The only thing is that it'* only an 1 inch upgrade on the wheels that'* why a set of 18'* or 19'* with some nice low profile tires would be nice. The 17'* will do though.

Im a noob, so while you all are discussing mod ideas, im looking up the defenitions of words like "transmission" and "supercharnger".

j/k
:P

Mostly performance and anything reasonably priced, like CAI, Tstat, high flow muffler system. That turbo however is waaaaaay too much. Mayby when I start earning a decent amount of money after college. Mayby replace my spark plugs and wires.

It already looks good, but thinking about tinting the windows. Mayby work on wheels, but I dont know yet in that department. Again, a total paint job but thats out of my price range until I get a salary. It will be my dream along with the TC after I get some $$$.

But mostly small and managable mods to do as I go along. But definately replace the tranny for a Bulletproof when it craps out.

Oh yea, and a tranny cooler.
