Um...do you speak English? It's called grammar, punctuation, and sentences. Use them sometime.

Ok, first you need to be more clear on what you are trying to say.

Second, You either want it or not. PLAIN and SIMPLE!

Dont undertake this kind of project unless you are sure you want to, it is an investment. An investment for fun and knowledge, not so much one of profit

Ohh and I am still trying to figure out what motor this is? b16 head/R block?

Guessing that its completely stock, i would get a CAI,Type-R 4-1 header, and a catback with muffler. After that i would want skunk2 IM and lightened flywheel with clutch and PP.

If it were my money tho id spend it on suspension and brake upgrades first.

Spend that 2 grand on a nice Ground Control and Koni Yellow combo, and then get some nice tires for your stock rims. It'll be much more beneficial than any I/H/E combo.

Two grand well spent on bolt ons. Just either build the engine up or I would say Turbo. I mean N/A with a B16. lol.
