pioneer deck. my stock one only had radio and tape deck, but my antenna motor is broken, so unless I'm right next to the radio station, I had to listen to tapes.

For performance, I got a cheap ebay intake adapter and filter. It SOUNDED kewl :cool:

Sony Xplod 6.5" speakers the day after I bought the car, the old ones were blown when I got the car and served as part of my basis for talking the price down. Next was my paint job, because I wrecked the car and insurance was paying for it.

haha...SR. car had no engine when I got it so I didn't have much of a choice (although I could have gotten a low milage KA), after I bought that I bought a few other things to go along with it

BTW, this is a stupid thing to do!! buy a 240 that runs and start there. Listen to the voice of experience :D

First mod was RS*R down springs that I did not install until I got a set of Tokico HP shocks a few weeks later. After that, I had to get rear UCA and toe links as well out of necessity because riding around with -3 degrees of camber looks funny. No eninge mods to date...

my first mod was tires... but I should have done basic maintenance at the same time. :p Those are the two most important!
Looks wise, was a car wash.
