BATANG CITY JAIL · 03-01-2007, 02:00 AM

short shifter and bushing's

***Zeuceone*** · 03-01-2007, 02:02 AM

a turbo...

imtim25 · 03-01-2007, 02:06 AM

^^ get the cardboard turbo on ebay

SiCali · 03-01-2007, 02:07 AM

for performance:

progress rear sway bar ~$160
intake (it's more than $200 but it won't take u long to save up for it)
comptech/TWM short shifter w/ bushings

for looks:

emblems
hid kit
shift boot/shift knob (can combo w/ short shifter w/ bushings)
tint

if you use the search function or the marketplace forums, you can easily find sponsors that can accomodate you with questions/answers/ideas. personally i went w/ the short shifter w/ bushings and a shift boot and knob. total cost for all those things shipped was about $190 shipped from 3 different vendors (i got lucky and got a few items on sale). my next purchase is a rear sway bar and intake. have fun w/ the new ride and welcome to the 8th

Buy a die grinder and cut your stock springs!

06_fiji_si_85 · 03-01-2007, 02:39 AM

Get some lowering springs, but then you will need the camber kit, which will run you a little over.
Tein S-techs: 140
Skunk2 rear camber kit: 179

JeShUa · 03-01-2007, 03:01 AM

fogs.. and covers on that..
emblems.. waste of $$.. only do that if your cash flow is high.. and you have nothing else to WASTE money on.. lol..

200 = powder wheels..
you can ALMOST get the hfp front kit..
140 = tein s techs.. dunno if you can install them yourself.. but uhh.. you should get springs

and remember every sticker will give you 10hp to the rear wheels...
i know it sounds crazy since our cars are fwd but OMG stickers ftW

Jardiniboy · 03-01-2007, 03:25 AM

If you could spend around $50 more you could get a CAI

06_fiji_si_85 · 03-01-2007, 03:26 AM

Oh snap, I think I will add 10 stickers to my car so I can add 100 hp. Remember, more stickers = faster.

JeShUa · 03-01-2007, 03:27 AM

LOL.. he wants exterior mods for under 200$.. come on now.. stickers fall into that category...

jspecFG · 03-01-2007, 10:06 AM

With $200, I say leave it stock till you have more $$. Don't rush into modding.

jballer187 · 03-01-2007, 11:28 AM

personally i'd save a bit more and get an intake, performance mods > cosmetic mods.

tnel2005 · 03-01-2007, 12:13 PM

cool ideas guys......ill keep my eye out for that perfect little mod....im getting tint on tuesday buts that was included in the car so ill go from there

tnel2005 · 03-01-2007, 12:14 PM

Anubis · 03-01-2007, 12:25 PM

I was going to say tint, but since that is already planned i am not sure what $200 would be best spent on the exterior.
