    give the old girl a good service, get some oils/filters plugs and leads and so on. I know it will only go so far, but you could replace oils/filters you normally dont ie. diff oil, flush Power steering/brake fluid, fuel filter

    yea thought about the full service but im paying for that in 2weeks. Dont need to fill the tank i have gas and it only cost me $30 to fill it. thought about a manifold insulator or plenum spacer. I also love my tunes in the car so i thought about new speakers but then ill want an amp and maybe a sub and then ill end up spending way to much. lol

    A detail always goes a long way. If you want Audio stuff check out the second hand places.. Good stuff if some of those places.

    Lol heard bout your good luck mate. If you can rustle up another $70 get the manifold insulator if not just go the plenum spacer which is $150. Got all my **** last night, they forgot the MAF adapter so their sending it out express today lol.

    Here's a way to turn the $150 into $500 easy....spend it on flowers or something extravagant for the missus....you'll be number one boy in her eyes and any future mods for the car will automatically get the nod.:idea3:

    Lol his misus or the car.
    Shano just made a useful discovery which I wish knew last week. The 25mm manifold insulator is on their eBay store for $180 starting bid and ends in a few days. Only $30 more then lol. Then again he's onto something with that flowers for Svea lol. Yeah tell her to let you spend the whole 5k and let's supercharge it haha

    Yeah a mace CAI would be good if you can afford $270. Bang for buck you'll notice results with a manifold insulator
