About to get 800 bucks what to do?

[Ender2664]

So i am about to get 800 bucks and i am trying to think what i want to do with it to my car. I have had my car for over 2 years now, and only really have a couple of mods on it, so i am not going to save it up, so don't suggest that. This is what i was thinking and give me your 2cents as to what you think i should do. I know i am going to put at least 100 of it into my sound system, and i work at a shop that does alot of sound work so that goes quite away.
1)someone is selling WS6 take off exhaust for 125 and that sounds like a nice deal
2)Aluminum driveshaft. (not new, budget remember)
3)maybe a posi unit cause i am a really good driver at launching my car and this would take me to the next level...i beat my friends AWD cars off the line most of the time.
4)Maybe some 1LE sways
5)Some sort of STB for sure! Probably BMR or SLP cause they are cheap
6)Maybe a highflow cat, but is there going to be a good gain on a 02 with tubular manifolds with exhaust and the stock manifold, or should i keep the stock cats?
7)Some SFC, but i am not sure how much it is going to cost to get them weilded on, so i am not sure if it is worth it for me to do right now.
Obviously i can't affod them all at once, and i am forgeting some good options, so tell me what you think i should do on my limitied budget. And i want to do a couple of things. So don't tell me to get a cam and do a cam install cause i am not going to blow all my money on one mod, i just feel like doing a couple of things.

exhaust is good
I hear the aluminum DS is worthy
Front sway would be good, you can get a 32mm 1LE for $40 and they can be installed in a couple minutes
Posi is probably the most expensive on your list.. do you have 3.42s now?

short throw shifter???

[mike h]

a short ho stripper?

[Ender2664]

I am not going to do a shifter, i am a fast enough shifter that my throw on my hand is quicker than my foot, so it is a waist of my money for right now.
Right now i am running 3.23s, that is why i though the 3.42 posi sounded like a pretty good idea.
When i get the 1LE frount and rear sways do i need to get poly endlinks? And i should get poly bushings right?

LOL, I would go for the gears/lsd.

ehh thats not the point of a shifter in my opinion. I shift pretty quickly myself, but the shifter, makes all shifts feel so much more crisp and better. ESPECIALLY autocrossing, downshifts are so much more crisper...

I got my shifter used for $90 shipped, and a ls1 speed, inc short stick, I had to modify it slightly(make bolt holes bigger) for $19.99

Really makes the car alot more fun to drive and shift.

but if you worried straight about dragstrip times, it does dick and is a waste of money.


best power/turning mod to get. gears/lsd.

Tim, the 1LE rear sway is too big for V6 cars. I would get 19mm at the biggest. 1LE is 21mm I believe for the rear.

Also, I'd go with 3.73s [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Ender2664]

3.73 are going to kill my gas, the biggest i would go is the 3.42s. I love crusing low rpms.

or your ninth option -- donate....to nicklz wants some money foundation. Your donation will be greatfully appreciated, and be put to good use. :D

Tim, with the sway, you get the endlinks that go along with it (1LE) Take a look in the Mod Encyclopedia. They put that there for people like you [img]graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
