Depends how much you're looking to spend:

Tranny package: $1800+ would be flywheel, clutch, quaife LSD

Fuel/Control package: $1500 Hondata s200b, injectors, rail, regulator, intank pump

Turbo Exhaust: $600 3inch mandrel with magnaflow muffler

Traction control: $350 24.5x8.5x15 slicks on stock rims

Cool stuff: Forbidden MS shortshifter, various gauges (good EGT gauge from greddy or apexi recommended), battery relocation to trunk, etc

That would be stuff to buy assuming you're doing up a nice kit. If you're just bolting on a drag kit or something you need to start saving for a new motor

I do that if you havent done so already. You're going to need it when you go F/I anyways since the stock clutch will probably last you a few days if that.

If you are looking for a low cost bank for the buck mod, pulleys would be the way to go. You can find a used set for around $100 or new $175. Not a bad mod to do. Probably at this point would be best bang for little $$$$$

If you're going turbo, upgrading your clutch should be the first thing you do.
