Performance for 100$

[keepitmovin]

any suggestions?

[KAMRAN]

for 100 you can just buy some products to get your engine runing mint...

you can also swap an electricasl fan for the mechanical

You can get a front and rear strut tower brace if you shop around enough <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;*cough*e-bay*cough*

If you're going to ask for information, how about you give some.

year
milage
how long you have had the car
goals

My suggestion (and basically what i've done)
-first check for anything that NEEDS replacement or attention
-air filter $5 to $50 (for a nice K&N drop in)
-brake pads if needed
-TC rod bushings (if needed)
-oil change w/ new crush washer $5-20 depending on oil
-new oil filter (get a good one, avoid orange boxes) $5-10
-new spark plugs $6
-new plug wires $30-50 depending on year
-new ditributor cap and rotor <$10 each
-new fuel filter $7
-trans and diff fluid $10-40 depending on quality (I went synthetic since you change it once every 50k or so)
-brake fluid $5-10
-timing advance (if you use premium, free)
-check lights to insure they work
-check and adjust tire pressure free

If most stuff looks good and you don't need new brake bads or TC rod bushings you could probably do everything on the list. &nbsp;I would consider the first 3 items to be the most important to check as they tend to wear and not get replaced by many owners. &nbsp;Chances are your brake fluid is toast as well.

Well done, Steve.

I'd also like to add:

New accessory belts $15-30
Flush/fill coolant $10
Remove resonator and Y-pipe $Free
Bag of yellow stickers $5 (but oh so much power) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Can't believe I forgot the coolant and resonator box. &nbsp;Yeah, the box is pretty lame and was one of my first mods. &nbsp;I think it may have doubled as a counter balance for the battery as it weighs quite a bit (relatively) for a useless piece of plastic. &nbsp;I honestly did not notice a change in sound until I removed the y-pipe, though it was kind of nice having a cheap ass (though restrictive) CAI.

If you're going to do most of the items, courtesyparts.com is your best bet for instock, inexpensive oem parts. &nbsp;I would order everything at once as shipping is very expesive to start but never seems to go up, so no matter what it always was around $7-8 even though my orders have varied greatly. &nbsp;If I had to do it again I would have just bought everything I was thinking about at once since I ended up getting it anyway.

The DOHC wires from Don (www.pdm-racing.com) are really nice too. &nbsp;The NGK's are $49 and the Aurora wires I have were $50. &nbsp;They seem to be very high quality and the red jacket looks very nice under the hood.
