i just got one of those visa $100 gift card things that are accepted anywhere visa is, so i was just thinking of the most effective way to spend it. i was thinking sub-frames, but i can just make those if i wanted to. so what else is there, throw some i deas out becaus i want to order something by tonight. and like i said, it doesn't have to be exactly $100, if it's a lot less, then whatever, im just thinking of some things that i might like to buy for my 86 coupe.

so yeah, any suggestions would be awsome. THANKS!

for 100 its hard to say.

id say go for headers but there more then 100 bucks

or subframes. but since you can make them then just hold off on them.

id say if you havent done this yet. give it a good tune up. filters. plugs ect.

Buy four silverstar headlights to make your car bright as hell! Do you have tintent windows?

I know, not performance related really but I can't think of anything like that.

Pulleys were a good buy for under $100 in my eyes!

For $100, the best bang for the buck would be a hooker!
