so what to do next...

Im going to be coming on to some good money.. about $200 or so. I was wondering (with my mods in my sig) what i should go for with that kind of money. I was thinking 1.6 RR but i heard you have to get springs pushrods and guideplates and that would all add up. Also that installation will destroy me... So what do all you think should be my next mod in that price range. Thanks

LOL!

Seriously, what about subframe connectors? It was one of the best mods I did; really helps to tighten the car up and helps prevent rattles/squeeks as the car ages.

mod

For the absolute best mod you can do next is a 3000 to 3200 stall converter & tranny cooler. That will get you in the 12's if the weather is working for you.
It will blow you away how much faster your car will be with one.
