I got a pile of cash for christmas and my b-day (4th of jan) and I want to put it into my 240.. Ive been reading up on everything from ASP underdrive pulleys, to CAI's.. and to be honest now I just dont know what to buy.. I have a SOHC 5spd, with 2.25" mandrel bent cat-back...

Im looking for horsepower like everyone else.. but Ive heard so many different opinions from so many people on whats best I dont know what to think... Anyone have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!!

Upgrade your suspension. Join the K-Sport coilovers group buy :).

Well, it's really up to you. I have exhaust, intake, and some other stuff that I regret buying. If I had to do everything over again, I'd go with suspension then brakes first. The rest of the stuff can wait.

Here's some of the stuff I have on my list:

SS clutch line $25 (already bought it from K2rd.com)Axxis semi-metallic front brake pads $25 (just won it on eBay)SS brake lines from SPL partsK-sport full coilovers from group buy4 wheel alignmentRear strut barASP underdrive pulley for $99 from rpmoutlet.comCustom right side CAIHi flow cat converterBattery relocationFidanza lightened flywheelShort shifterRebuild my 166,000 miles motorUpgrade internalsForced induction

I have a cat back and a short ram and i never regret buying them. Go suspension/brakes first. I suggest sway bars and a strut bar. Thatll probably be around 400. If you want horsepower id get an AEM or Injen intake and ASP pulley. My AEM and ASP cost me $230(including shipping).BTW i got an ASP pulley from a place called JDs Performance. Look it up in yahoo!. It was only $100, $110 shipped. So, you have about $170 left. You could think in advance and get some springs, you could get a sway bar, or save up and get some hotshot headers for $300

I got 350.

I bought some wheels, I am going to pay for a day of drifting, and probably do a check up on my car, change engine/transmission/diff fluid and filters and whatever else I can to the car. Oh yeah, I got some manual seatbelts for my S13 too.
