it reallyd epends on what direction you want to take with the car.

Gears do really wake up the car and makes use of those 5th and 6th gears, however the 10 bolt is a weak link.

Alot of what you can do depends on your budget. you have some nice peices on your car! personally if i had the money right away id look into investing in a 12 bolt and a nice clutch. make great use of the power you have now and get it all down to the wheels. Then from there you can really build up on it and not have any fear of ripping through the gears. plus with a 12 bolt you can knock out the gears as well :-D

Best of luck to you man!

I agreee with DD966, I'd go with Sub-Frame Connectors, Strut tower brace and Lower control arms. the difference is night and day. and you can get all these pieces for a decent price.

I would go with a new clutch setup, SFC's, LCA's, and an adjustable panhard rod. Then DR's, gears, and a pulley.
