ok. so i used to have an '04 GT, but was forced to sell it due to financial irresponsibility. but....now i have my hands on a '90 LX nothcback. it's been in a slight accident but runs great! according to the previous owner, the car has Flowtech headers, some kind of aftermarket H with cats, and a Flowmaster AT cat-back. much quiter than the 40s and the o/r pipe i had on my '04, but at least the car passes emissions....
so my questions....i want to turn this into a nice project car. i've always wanted to do it but never seemed to have the funds. now, i don't have to make car payments, and i want to have some fun. i hate sounding like a newbie, but tell me where to start. the exhaust is done for now (though i am unhappy about the Flowtech from all i have read on here). do i go with the upper and lower intake first? heads perhaps? rockers? camshaft? then move on to the TB and MAF? then the ignition and fuel? help.....anyone? i can only do a bit at a time, but i'd love some advice. especially, like what kind of order i should do things in so i don't seriously mess the car up and so that i can feel the small gains i am making. for now, let's assume i'm keeping it NA.
thanks!
