buy a ebay intake for $10-20 and throw away the filter and replace it with a K&N cone filter $20-40.

new headlight bulbs approx. $20

change to synthetic oil - approx. $20-30

reall noty much you can do performance wise. but that money wouldnt hurt going towards maintenance.

if your vehicle isnt up to maintenence..Id change your oil..using synthetic oil..change your tranny fluid...just do a couple of simple routine maintenence check ups...or like he said you can go with an ebay intake and throw the ebay filter away and go pick up a K&N Intake filter

Id save the money and buy a K&N filter for the ebay intake instead of a short shifter braket..whats the point..to make your shifts shorter in a 145HP or less car?

I would go with a wide rearview mirror, a set of blind spot mirrors, and like what everyone else said, synthetic oil and spark plugs.

man I would just do maintenance. From changing your coolant to changing your brake pads. You might want to bleed your brakes too. or change those bulbs. Shoot I would spend all those $$$ on maintenance more than accesories for the car. If you have a crappy beat up non working car, what else can you do with it?

A do it yourself grounding kit. Go to Wal-Mart and buy the amp hook-up wire kit (40' of 8 gauge copper conductor) and buy a set of 8 gauge ring terminals (Autozone should have them) and start grounding away.

/\ Wow the last 3 won't do anything to help your performance. Unless wasting your money on things that sound good but don't actually do anything count. $50 in maintence will give you more power than those 3.

I would probably go with one of those electric wax buffers. Keep the car clean
