Default 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...

lol dude right now Im only making like $60/month
next month I will be back to full time and I'll be like $2500/month

I would probably go with cams too...or intake mani...or maybe bigger TB

any route you take youre gonna have to save for awhile...you got the cheap stuff down...now its time for the bigger stuff

Cams will help, but also a 96-98 ex intake manifold should help too.
