I'm a newbie to the mod scene and am getting tired of getting snubbed by snot-nosed punks in Hondas, Acuras, and those tiny pocket rockets with huge mufflers. The only problem is that I've got a 95 GXE... automatic.
I was wondering if there were any mods that could enhance performance of my Maxima (better accerleration? better braking? better way to flip someone off?)
Taking into consideration that money is a factor as sadly I cannot spend all my money on my car.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Either specific brands on specific car parts or just some general advice would be okay as well.

Oops. sorry for the misinformation folks.

About the NOS: let's go ahead and steer our the new guys away from very expensive, engine-damaging mods.

My $0.02
