Question Got some cash to blow

Helle everyone.

Quick question...currently I own a stock sunlight silver 8. I have obtained $2,000.00 buckaroos, which Items do you think I should buy? I'm into performance, but as I have read so far there haven't been any turbo's or superchargers out yet. So any advice would be helpful...thanks.

Chris

You're not going to find much performance gains out there. Suspension is one thing you can tweak, flywheel is another. The rest is more for looks and sound (exhaust, intake, etc).

J/K kidding bro' . For $2,000, you could buy a GT3540R, with the 0.82 A/R. Now, all you need is the rest of the components to build a kickin' turbo system. Or, you could get the clear corners. Stylin' .

Hmm....2 grand? I would go for the MazdaSpeed suspension, and if you do the install yourself, you'll probably have enough money left over for the MS flywheel as well.

Where would I go to buy these things? I think that a cat-back exhaust wouldn't be that hard to install, however I have never delt with a flywheel before, don't know the difficulty's in that.
