i am not reading through 2 pages to tell you the first thing you should do, unless you have already done it, is routine maintenance....... then i would actually, and they can tell you if i am wrong, or flame me if i am.....

but if you are looking for power why wouldn't you get a gpop ko4/bt and supporting mods..... if you can get most of the big stuff bought with the say 1700-2000, depending on what the speed tunning tune costs.... cause you said 1500 after that..... i mean 2 grand can get you alot..... then work on suspension/wheels, ect. ect.

well i pretty much spent all the money already so heres, what i got: Godspeed FMIC, Forge Splitter, short throw shifter, speed tuning chip, EBC green pads, new plugs, a boost gauge, and i have enuf to order a set of springs, but since the car is about to go through a big overhaul (for me at least) im gunna wait about a month to get the springs. im also gunna seafoam and do an oilchange. im still waiting on things like headlights and a hood, so im not really in a rush to finish the car. ill show u guys some progress when/if i get a chance, if not ill have pics when its all done. im thinking everything except paint will probably be done by mid feb. You guys think i did good with my $1500?

You should use $100 of that to buy a digital camera and take as many pictures as you possibly can. In the long run, you'll be glad you did.
