HArdly any cash...Hmm. I dont know how much hardly any is, but if you plan on taking it to the track and its an auto, a convertor would be nice, if its std, you could continue exhaust, and get some headers, but thats gonna make it loud, and raspy with the LM. SLPs CAI is nice. Feeds your air box from underneath the car. You could tune suspension, with springs, swaybar, strut brace, etc. Just some ideas.

Do you want power? Or handling? I'd suggest getting a cold air kit of some sort. Fast Toys Ram Air (FTRA) and Super Sucker Ram Air (SSRA) are both nice options. The SSRA looks cooler, because the lower scoop extends under your front bumper. Both provide similar gains, with the SSRA edging out the FTRA by a few ponies. After that, the cheap power mods are pretty much done.. next worthwhile step would be either headers or a stall, depending on your drivetrain.

For handling, you could invest in some subframe connectors ($140 all the way up to $300), perhaps a strut tower brace ($100 i believe), or some lower control arms to help your launch out.

You could do all the free mods for a couple of extra ponies, If you havent done them yet.... EGR, AIR, Port & polish TB, cut out the bottom of the airbox, TB bypass.. I think there may be a few more, I cant think of them right now...

Auto...Torque converter...Manual...short shifter,skip shift eliminator...

track performance suspension....BMR LCA's, BMR Torque Arm
TIRES....ya needa hook well all the time....you daily drive....get some Dry/Wet tires...unless your in the snow and ice....(I.E. BFG KDW's, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's)
Track performance would be DR's the Nitto 555R's are p[robably best cuz they have better mileage of treadear and hook hard....BFG drag radial...are even better hooking...but wear fast

also Free Mods....check www.installuniversity.com
