you could also sell your car, and with the difference get a used civic, coilovers, a muffler, and big chrome rims.

under a grand....

eibach coilovers are about $400 but you'll need new struts

also someone makes coilovers for aboyt $250, I think weaponR??

eitherway you will also need new struts, AGX are about $450

should do you for under a grand without the JIC way.

$1000 ???

ummm, you can save big time! just get 3 of those $6 burgers with large fries and milk shakes. then go by the nearest jenny craig and pick up three 'weight challenged' girls. offer them a free lunch if they ride with you.

The only thing left is mostly performance mods.. upgrade my sc with a intercooler. Redo some exhaust work. Maybe get rid of the sc and get a turbo. Rebuild the motor.. Too many things to do. Dunno which way to approach it. And if it's even worth it to do all that work..
