For the function>form people.... key d16y8 sohc upgrades?
Alright here's the deal.... I earn about 180 bucks a month to spend on my car. I have an intake, header, high-flow cat, cat-back exhaust system, and 10.3 mm spark plug wires. If you were in my shoes, keeping in mind I have A.D.D. so i don't have the patience to save up for a turbo, what functional upgrades would you make next? Where can i get these things for decent prices? I often purchase things off of ebay, they seem to have the best prices.
I love you guys because you're crazier than I am.

180 for a high school kid. I didn't think that was too bad. I get about 220, but after gas and occasional movies, it comes down to 180. I wash vans for 10 bucks an hour and only work on sat and sunday. It's so much better than my old job I only used to get about 100 bucks a month working for bruegger's. My avitar is goiter gal. Keep on keepin' on goiter pals.

I would start looking at cams. I was looking at crower cams, but I've read a number of complaints about them breaking, so I'm probably not going that route. Check out zex and skunk2 has one on the way.
I also suggest that you start looking at suspension. Maybe a set of kyb agxs, h&r sports, strut bar, etc...

I hear that.. anyway, i'd recommend a zex cam, a 50 shot, and suspension upgrades.

i don't know, personally if i could only afford $180 a MONTH for my car and its STOCK-internal motor, i wouldn't even THINK about N20 or any kind of FI.
