Do subframes and a K&N drop-in filter.

your sig doesnt mention lowering springs, so I am going to say springs... if you have the steeda CIA, you dont need the fipk.

$200 to blow is nothing. I'll use that up in gas and take out on a weekend road trip. Keep saving until you're able to afford some real mods.

I disagree. If you got it, use it I'd do tint as well. Other than that, I'd just save it for the mongoose kit.

I dunno.....I guess it depends on your perspective. The very fact that the poster is making a thread about having $200 to spend on his car, tells me that he's probably a kid with a very low income. I on the other hand am in my 30's with a fairly decent income. So when I've got an extra $200 lying around, It doesn't get me all that excited to start spending it on mods for my car and it certainly wouldn't inspire me to start a thread. I'd either just put it in the pot and wait until I had more to work with, or just spend it on something I actually needed.....like food and shelter.

I've spent recklessly in the past, where every time I got an extra couple of bucks, I'd blow it on something that looking back on it now, I really could have done without. As I grew older, I learned that it's always nice to have a little extra padding in the account and I'm not so quick to let money burn a hole in my pocket. Getting items like window tint, springs, etc, etc are fine, but I like to wait until I’m able to purchase multiple items all at one time, yet still have money left over for a rainy day just to be safe.

Err... thats just a wierd comment. Deciding to burn $200 on your car doesn't mean you're poor or young...? I do just fine, but we only spend a few hundred on the car for my birthday and xmas. I really don't want to blow loads of cash modding a car at this point.

How is it your business to judge his income or age, he just wants to know what mod to buy.

:Word: Also don't forget to remove that rubber nozzle thingy in your airbox. The SFC's will strengthen your ride for future horsepower mods. The FIPK is pointless if you are going FI in the future.

I'd say it's logical reasoning...I notice this even with myself. 2 Years ago I was like "YES I HAVE $300 I CAN BUY SOMETHING FOR MY CAR"
Now I want at least $1000 before I consider buying a Mod and having $200 doesn't really mean much...right now I have $4000 but also know tuition for the Spring Semester is coming up as well as saving for gas/insurance/etc. I do believe as you get older you become a little more wise with your money and $200 won't really be a big deal when you start making decent income. Especially with our cars, $200 will buy you something that will drop your 1/4 by .0000001 second and .0004 MPH for the most part.

Check his sig. That's where my idea to save for a mongoose came from.
