Then go for some rims! Won't hurt the engine, same with the suspension (i think).

Donate it towards my vacation fund. I'll send you a receipt and you can take a tax deduction.

If that doesn't sound good, I'd recommend stereo components.

I would get the J's Racing engine torque damper. Infact pick up the combo. Its about $400. With the remaining $275 I would save this for the wife or gf and take her out to dinner.

As mentioned above. The redline shift module is a great, cheap mod. $60. After that get a Valentine 1. $400.

So then you've got $190 left. Get a good floor jack. Sears has a nice one and that should leave you with enough to get an alignment.

Monk,
Gears will ONLY effect any problems with the differential and will not effect any claims for the engine (where you're more likely to have problems). I say gears...if not, vented hood (Since your avoiding a CAI)

Thanks guys. I already have a V1. Don't want a CAI or stereo stuff. Not really sure that I want to do gears; i just kinda feel like I'm getting more bang for my buck if I go with some of the other ideas.

Any in particular from my list stand out to anyone? Anything you'd steer clear of?
