Default What next?

Okay, i am looking to do some more mods to my car. Bolt on items and such. no large $$ items though. I don't really want to do headers. And for now i am not buying Drag radials.

My thoughts are new gears. I don't know if it is necessary to upgrade to a 3 series carrier or not. If i do gears, i was thinking 3:42's. I can buy them for a 2 series carrier...is this a bad idea?

Next idea is Throttle body port/polish, new intake bellow, and possibly a Pace MAF.

Currently i have lowering springs for my car and have new shocks and struts on the way this week. Looking at buying new panhard currently...and waiting on a reply for relocating brackets and LCA's.

I feel my exhaust is pretty free flowing.....and finishing out the intake would just about do all i can with bolt-ons.

What are some of the thoughts about what i should do next. I will attach a list of my mods currently.

Opinons please?
