    i'd get some wheels, dont have to be namebrand, i'm just tired of these plastic covers. 13"s or 14"s. Any money left, probably upgrade my brakes or suspension a little. Doesnt have to be adjustable revalved struts or anything.

    Re: How to...spend $500

    $500 towards my motor and i would only have to spend 250 more to get my beloved motor out of the shop.

    or i would buy a stand up tool box and an engine hoist.

    buuut since ur probably wanting advice for how to mod ur car, i would be looking at full exhaust with header and an intake for now. or if u are a suspension dude just get some coilovers and save for the revalved bilstein shocks. or get new tires.

    b20a conversion (if engines over there are cheap), carb > efi conversion, making the body look good like fixing up any paint comming off or little rust spots and like said before, if any left over, gas

    I'm actually just curious about what all of you guys think/need. I'm getting a new clutch and a ring kit for my tranny. I'll have some money left over, but I don't think I'll invest it into my car. I've got an intake, exhaust, springs, shocks/struts, and a decent stereo. Talk about a header or tuneup is getting my attention, however. I do have 220,000 miles....hmmmm...

    With the DX (Which isnt really mine anymore)... Paint, seats, and a valve cover gasket.

    With the LX-i... Paint.

    i don't think there's amny projects for me to do that are that cheap...
    rear disc brakes or PGM-Fi, i guess

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: How to...spend $500

    header was the biggest gain, and cam. and cams are dirt cheap (114 shipped from delta cams)

    justin might be able to make u a header, or i would look at S&S. but a cam would be great if u have a header to add to the mix
