When I get some money by probably the end of the month I'll have enough to do some bigger things, only like maybe a grand or so, but what would you recommend me to do. I just removed my resonator and I like hte reaction. So anything eles would be awesome.

Got the dent removal idea from here:
dent removal
Seems to work without hurting the paint or anything, but try it in a small inconspicuous area first.

if you got a grand or so to spend in the future i'd get
Cold air intake, AEM or ebay one
Headers
Lowering springs or Nex coilovers, heard a good few things about nex on here but not sure on there price
clear corners
HID's
car will sound great and look great imo

With a Grand? Ha, wish I had that right bout now smile.gif
If you're willing to put in the work yourself, (I'd suggest it, makes it more "your baby" when its your sweat n lil blood in it), you can get quite a few things for a grand.
Cold Air Intake: (if you liked response from removing the resonator, you're going to love this one)
Get an AEM for bout $120, or a decent knock off from Ebay for ~$50
Exhaust: (excellent HP gains here)
Replace Header and Flex Pipe with an SSA/OBX one (Ebay , or someone selling one on here) ~$150 You can find great info on this in the DIY section.
~$300 to replace all your exhaust piping with 2.25 - 2.5"
Get a Magnaflow Muffler n Catalytic Converter (hi - flow is important). Get a long Resonator as well.
You'll need to get a decent exhaust shop to do this for you. There is lots of posts regarding Exhausts on these forums, take a look at em!
New Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors for your brakes, search forums for information on these: ~$200
Also get a 1.8 ECU and cam, not sure on pricing.. depends on availability, something to shoot for though.
Then use the leftovers to upgrade your Fogs and lights to HID, put in LEDs for your interior, and other random stuff...
If you want to get even more after that, you can upgrade your pulleys, and even go Turbo cool.gif
Why I know all this off the tip of the mind? Cus, thats what I would really like to do if I had the money. Been researching it for a while now.
