New max owner on the street!
hey guys...just want to let you know about a new max owner...last week I purchased an automatic 1996 black se in mint condition with 100k miles for 6 grand...the 4th gen. has been my dream car since it came out. i am a student and just needed to save for college before i purchased one however. I already have installed new headlights and will be adding more mods as soon as the paychecks come. One of my questions is what mod u think is the most appropriate to get first? thanks for all ur help!... ill be posting pics asap

Well. I recommend the following:
Do air filter change, oil change, tranny fluid change, and check tires/shocks. any leaks? any problems?
Then, if your stock stereo stinks, you must get cd player/headunit and some decent speakers. $400-500
After the all important sound upgrade, you can go either of two ways:
Handling: $25 front strut bar shipped and $115 rear sway bar shipped both easy to install
OR
Power: intake $30 for K N to $220 Injen intake shipped and $158 budget y pipe. both kinda easy but harder than handling mods...
I chose handling better b/c they were cheaper and easier.

well i got all the maintenance checked right after i got it, and the mechanic said it could use a wheel alignment which i notice when i floor the car on an open road and it veers to the right . i have to hold the steering wheel tight to keep it centered...anyone familiar with this and should aligning the wheels fix it?
thanks for the mod ideas. i think the first couple mods i will do are intake($200), y-pipe($160, rsw($120), fstb ($35), and some diamond cc's ($45) and perhaps a grille. If anyone has information on making a home depot mesh grille , it would be greatly appreciated...i already have a system from my civic, i just gotta work on getting it installed
in your opinion...im looking also at springs ...mainly progress, eibach, and sprint...i want performance springs with a noticeable drop, but dont want a painful ride, does anyone recommend the sprints being that they are the cheapest at $120
