    For $1000 you could get either extractors/exhaust or diff gears with bit left over for k&n filter and or corvette servo.

    If you have any problems with the car id get them fixed first. (oil leaks ect...)

    If the car is in A1 condition you could start by deciding on what makes you happy.

    If I had a spare 1000 first thing id do is get the windows re-tinted, i can hardly see through mine sometimes.

    Also if you need tyres might be a good idea to get them out of the way

    Chuck the money into a savings account that you that you can't access with a debit card, then if you really do need somethin you've got the cash there, either that or it's a good start towards upgrading the VX!!
