check your tie rods,you may have a bad one.

you dont need nothing much but a sound car, and good brake pads. seat time is your best modification. go out and have fun.

If you're on a budget, the most important thing that will make you faster is EXPERIENCE. Spend the money going to every autox you can. It's the best bang for the buck. Forget making your car faster. All those go-fast parts will only make your car a little faster, if not slower.

dont do any more mods to ur car. hit up a couple autox schools, get a handful of events under ur belt, and then start thinking about mods. u'll know better what direction u want to go in and in the long run it'll save u a lot of money.
