Do you already have some good tires to go with the springs and shocks?

yeah, maybe one of the itr cams would be a good idea. I know you can get both intake and exhaust cams with gears for 400-450 used from some people. I'm sure if you get the intake cam, it would cost you even under 300 used. Maybe you should try to come up with another 150 and buy both cams with gears.

You should be able to get the cam but if you don't install it yourself that will cost you a little more. Don't forget to dyno tune them too and that will cost 100 buck more.
For $300 I would spend it on the the Type R swaybar and the BSQ or Beak installation kit. You will not be disappointed, just ask anyone here that has it.

pullies, i dont' think their worth it, 300 can get u alot of things...

what do u have already?

if i had 300 dollars, i'd save up a little for a carbon fiber hood
but if u can't save up...ignition system...SCI, or a SAFC

Hows about a day long PDA event?

Or a driving school for the day???

Or a lighter flywheel?

Or different final drive gear?

Good luck,

A.

Pulley's are a waste of money.

The cam is great IF you get DYNO time.

Swaybars are fun if you Auto-X

I'd put it in the bank, you never know when you'll REALLY need it. And when you do, it won't be there.

Trust me..........

add another $2-300 buks and do obd2-1 harness with ECU mod ... I can help you as you're in the Bronx. I can do the programming for you ... can ask Greg in the red h/b who runs 12.4's about my ecus ... he's from the BX.

Get an ITR rear sway bar with mounting kit.

That or a lighter flywheel. A lighter flywheel will help performance and make your car much more rev-happy!

I wouldn't plan on buying a Supercharger unless you have $4000 saved up. Keep your money you still need $3700.
