    well if i were u i'd do a few minor engine mods, cold air intake with a hi flow air filter, custom chip for ecu, then a stereo etc (with all new wiring you learn best that way :P) and then design/looks etc (ie. interior body paint etc)

    i've already put a stereo in doing all my own wiring and i want to paint it but i can't afford to get it done so i'll have to spray it myself. whats the price range for cold air intakes?

    my cold air intake kit cost 56 dollars (i cut air box out my self) and the k&n filter costs 100, but i think the cai work better with the hi flow filters and a exhaust

    You are in one of those rare situations where you have money to work on your car and dont know what to do to it, enjoy that feeling while it lasts (which wont be long )
    I'd go for engine work and then exhaust system and extractors. Then if there's anything left go for the interior. Whats the paint job on it like at the moment, got any pics?

    Meh, 2k - save another 1k and get some nice wheels and lowered it.

    Don't wanna save any more? I'd just do mild engine work.

    Stick to the basics......High flow air filter, exhaust system ect. Then get into the more serious stuff like head work ect.
