See the mods in my Sig?

What should I do next, there just seem to be so many thinks I WANT to do, but can't afford them all at once...Whats worse is that there are ALOT of things I could do within my $125 budget for my next mod!!!

I was thinking about one of the following...If you have better ideas let me know!

1. Underdrive Pulleys
2. Ebay CAI w/K&N
3. MSD Cap and Rotor + New Wires (FORD RACING RED)
4. Optima Red Top Battery
5. Billet Interior Parts

it really depends on if you car needs a full tuneup. If it does then I would spend my money on that. You can buy a FRPP tuneup kit for like $80(includes wires, rotor/cap, plugs, fuel filter,pcv). Then you could make your own CAI with the rest of the money.

its right at the top of the page..

at 125k miles a tuneup should be your #1 priority. After you know everything is running like it should then start with the mods.

For $125 you could get the ebay cai and UD pulleys.

Just an fyi: cai won't do a thing for hp. Just cleans up the engine bay and makes it easier to pull the SPOUT to set initial timing.

+1 on the tune-up. $80 is not bad at all. Spend another $25 on a synthetic oil change. (DIY) Another $15 might get you a couple of bottles of synthetic gear oil for the rear diff, too. (Get the kind with the friction modifier in it.)

If all of that has been done, do the cheapie Ebay CAI and K&N filter. That should leave enough for the U/D pullies, too.

The battery would be a good idea. Jeg's sells one that weighs about half of what a "regular" one costs.

I would stay away from the "bling" on your list, unless it is subtle/tasteful. (Most guys here are not huge fans of the bling.)
