    What upgrades do you recommend with $983.00

    OK, So I got back my NY Tax return and now I would like to upgrade something performance oriented on my G.

    I have an Injen Short-Ram intake and thats about it. Car has almost 103K miles.

    What could I upgrade to get some performance out of the 4G64?

    Thanks.

    if i had that kind of money i'd buy a crazy audio system to blast trance music. everyone knows trance increases your hp by like 100.

    just keeding...i'd get one of those really nice apexi exhaust. and save the rest for something i might find interesting along the way.

    5 speed will be the greatest way to increase your whp, save a little more and you should be able to do it no problem. Or save some more for a turbo build.

    Like everyone else stated, the 5-speed swap from a 3G would be the best bet.

    why would that suck? an auto could out shift a manual... i me if you want the loud bov sound and thats ur cup of tea every time u shift then yea an auto turbo would suck...

    if you keeping the car for a while 2+ years go 5-speed you will notice a HUGE difference. But if you might get rid of the car or are not into as much then i just buy something else or save it for a rainy day with this economy you never know. Also if you havnt changed your timing belts and such, i would do that 1st.

    I try to stick to the Scheduled Maintenance. Belts were changed out @ 80K.
    The 5 speed does sound nice, but I know im going to get rapped when it comes to labor.

    full exhaust if you're not looking to invest in the 5-speed swap.

    Get headers and the Megan Cat-back.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    You can do it yourself or with someone else who is mechanically inclined. The swap seems easy as long as you follow the tutorial. If you need help, you can always ask those who have already did the swap.

    i know that a auto could out shift any 5spd but yea some people like to have the nice loud chirp when they shift gears that wat i was basically gettin at but other wise i would stay auto cause some time in the stop n go place that 5spd can be very annoying i have experienced it..i mean i neva had a 5spd of my own but drove it and its fun on highways...but back to the topic lol
