    Welcome. Hmmm..maybe you should think about spending money for parts to make the car go faster or make it look better.

    I don't really care about looks so I'd go for a homemade cold air intake, header and 2.25" cat-back with dynomax super turbo muffler, H&R springs and Koni dampeners

    that's close to $1000, maybe a little over

    I'm assuming you already have decent tires.

    Why not wait for another paycheck or two for a swap? How does this sound?

    someone a few days ago had a post up where he would make you a cold air intake for around $100. check back a few pages and i'm shure you'll be able to find something on it.
