SLP lid-90
Founders LCA's-70
Relocation Brackets~50 i think
Strut Tower Brace-80

Thats really all you can get. If you have a manual maybe a short stick. Or some coesmetic mods. Clear Corners, interior LED's, new shift ****, rear inlays,

If the car needs any type of maintenance, fluid changes, plugs, etc...i'd just spend it on that at first. If not a lid would a nice start

Like mentioned above -- do routine maintenance. PCV valve, air filter, fuel filter, plugs, wires, fluid changes, any repairs, etc. Get the car buttoned up and then start working on the mods. You'll likely be surprised at how much better the car runs doing that stuff -- and it'll make the mods that you end up doing down the road that much more noticeable.

Maintenance would be my first step before modding the car IMO.

Well I already did all the routines, I did find some money in a old bank account lol. So I bought a SLP lid, skip shift eliminator, FOUNDERS- rear lower control arms, on car adjustable panhard bar and strut tower braces. Just the wheels and center mount exhaust to go !!

You can try porting your stock TB, but I paid to have mine done. $125 for the ported TB, and $160 for the SSRA (ram air induction kit). For the money I love these two little mods!

Nice setup HCI !! I think this winter I will get the SSRA ram air and underdrive pulley, I did the suspension and brakes first this time.... I usually always go for performance upgrades first, just thought Id change it up this time. Hope to see your car one of these days !
