Ok, so I'm going to be getting $400 for my birthday in about two weeks. I figure I will be getting an AEM cai (don't know from where yet) and smoked tails from kspec. That leaves me with about a hundred dollars that don't know what to spend on. I have clear corners already and the back windows tinted. So I'm looking for any input on what I can get next for about a $100.

Go to a strip club. Why spend ALL of it on your car?

hey Jomo...

as for the AEM CAI... SwiftTiburon has one new for sale, looks like a good price. Check the for sale section oh yeah, get on it fast... many would be having interest, especially Redz

and I would say, forget about the smoked tails and get some lowering springs with the left over cash, if you do not have one yet

You could buy a good strut for $75-$90

1.8l camshaft goes for like $109...

Save a tad more money and you could get a crank pulley for $140ish

I don't think he's at that level where he's ready to change his cams... and strut bars don't do that much.

1.8L cam would be my decision, really not that hard of an install... maybe slightly more involved than an intake but not too much.

BTW, installed my old AEM intake onto my Tib today. Took me five hours cause of the rusted bolts i kept snapping. I pity you guys in NY with salt damage like this car has.

Call Unorthodox Racing and ask for a discounted pulley your car. I got mine yesterday and will be installing it on Saturday. It only cost me $90 shipped. Hopefully I will notice some gains. I can give you contact information if your interested. I received my pulley 2 days after I ordered it. I don't know how much more performance you could get for under $100. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!!
