ok i got 1000 bucks and it's all going towards my rex... i wanted to know whre to start. The car is mostly stock accept for the following

84 GS
Header (cracked and not fixable)
racing beat air filter
disc brakes on front and back
shortened gear ratio
a\c removed
removed rats nest
removed smog pump
new radaitor
new hoses and belts
dual alternator belts
upgraded tranny

ok mabye it's not that close to stock but either way.. what is the best use for $1000 for all around speed handling etc.

thx in advance

i would go with a full racing beat exhaust and gsl-se suspension with upgraded polyurethane bushings....

correct me if i'm wrong but mazdatrix sells the racing beat exhaust... and also is the 2 pipe better then the single pipe?

 

Lets see...

Tokico Adjustable shocks and some springs... (Your preference, I'm probably going Eibach. Racing beat is also reccomended.)

Polyurethane bushings

If you wanna go further on the handling, Sway Bar upgrades and Adjustable front camber/caster plates...

Fix that exhaust...

 

oh yea i forgot i got an oil cooler on the way as well to replace the pos honeycomb one

 

do new bushings really make a big difference

 

new carb

the other stuff you can do piece by piece.. a nice carb setup costs $$$

 

Send a cashier's check for $1000.00, and I'll buy you lunch.

 

Front poly bushings, front sway bar, tokico illuminas all around, front coilovers with caster/camber plates, and a pair of rear springs.

 

weber 48dcoe!!! with manifold!!! talk to 680rwhp!!!

 

front swaybar makes a huge difference. I've the RB one on mine and she corners like a Pilates instructor at a leotard sale

 

pay my rent, but really i recomend gettind a webber weber how ever its spelled

 

Weber is the correct spelling .

seeing as your in NJ forget about a better carb, unless you got a hook up for inspection stickers. Think suspension.

 

Lets go to hooters or stilletoes <--I think thats how it is spelled. Or u can just do the suspension up.

 

Ditto on the suspension. PST bushings are great. I could really tell a big difference in the travel of the steering. But, if i had a Grand to spend, go for the struts/springs/bushings/swaybar. 7"wide wheels and new tires also make a HUGE difference.

 

Yes, i do have a way to get an inspection sticker. I was suprised that only one person recomended exhaust system. I always thought that was the first best thing to do. Of course I could be wrong, and if I am I'm sure you will all correct me.

 

Use that $1000 to move to Minnesota, where they never check emissions....

 

i'll have to think about that it might be worth it.

 

FL is just as close and has nicer weather plus no state income tax.
