What to do next?
Hey, well i've had my car for about 1 year now and since then i've done many basic mods, like TB Coolant Bypass, K&N Air Filter, Removed the MAF sreens, ported out TB, removed catylic converter, cut-outs, Fastchip (www.fastchip.com), siamese intake runners, ported out plenum and knocked up my timing. I was just wondering what your suggestions would be, if I were to upgrade and mod my car some more. I didn't want to spend too much money either......any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated....thanx much ! :seeya

Youre done with the cheap stuff, unless you havent removed the frisbee.
Next thing would be headers/exhaust/more intake work/cam/1.6RR.

Upgrade the ignition with HyperTech cap/coil/rotor, some TPIS wires and cut back the AC Delco plug ground electrodes and gap em to about .045".
Install a 160 deg stat and aux fan sw; wire that sw to control the main fan.
Toss that "frisbee" from your water pump pulley.
Install a 2 1/2" mandrel-bent front Y and a good cat back.
If an A4, install a 2,000rpm TC and a TransGo shift kit. With siamese runners you could up your shift points into the mid to high 5,000rpm range. Of course you should realy do some valve train upgrades before getting too close to 6,000rpm.
