So i got my car i have an intake on it so far, but that isnt enough.

what would you guys do from there? and is lowering a good idea?and just for kicks, would it be a big job to drop a RB20DETT in it?or is there something else that would be easier for a 17 year old kid to swap? the car is fast, but not fast enough

what would you guys do from there?

Suspension

and is lowering a good idea?

If done correctly. You'll have to fix the camber issues. Read:http://www.garymolitor.com/300...d.htm

and just for kicks, would it be a big job to drop a RB20DETT in it?

Why would you want to go with such a small motor?

or is there something else that would be easier for a 17 year old kid to swap?

You don't have the money. Read:http://www.az-zbum.com/modific...shtml

Don't worry about it. Learn to drive first. Then, when you're old enough to get a job and have money, get a faster car.

sweet. and if i was to put exhaust on it, would headers be a challenge to put on?

if I were you I'd save the cash for a turbo swap, it's the best bang for the buck and really is the only way to get substantial power gains

Headers aren't too bad to install. But you're liable to break a stud or two getting the old manifolds off. So be prepared to take twice as long as you expected it to.

And if you've got the studs out, you're better off using real bolts for attaching the new headers.
