Need a few ideas.......
I have a few xtra dollars ($1500) burning a hole in my pocket
Would like to know what perf items to purchase first.
I don't race. Looking for HP gains, great sound and looks good.
Can you give me your top 3 items...
Thanks from a NB

What year, what transmission, what mods, if any, do you have now?
Thanks!
If you have nothing on the car yet:
1) cold air intake (Breathless Vortex or Vararam)
2) aftermarket exhaust (Corsa, Borla, B&B, etc.)
3) new plugs and wires

If you have the 2.73 gears, a switch to 3.42's would help wake up the car tremendously.

Sorry to sound dumb...what are GHL's
Can the rear end change be done at home. I'm not a master mechanic, but I can work a wrench
