interesting/odd question

what would you buy with $100? i just got 100 bux for shoveling snow, and i really want to spend it all on the rex. i was just wondering if you guys only had 100 dollars, what would you buy for the most bang for your buck. i have an 85gsl, stock, except stereo. i really want manntis's stereo surround thing, casue it makes everythign look so much better, BUT i would rather go "performance/engine". (i know 100 isn't a lot, not enough for exhust or anything, but maybe some used stuff too?)

I'll second the synthetic gear lube, and add new rotor and cap as well as a set of metal-core plug wires.

pepboys alluminum wing or those glowing valve stem caps. j/k.

What about a H4 headlight conversion? Get some Cibies. I got some from www.serisousauto.com. I agree the redline gear oil or K&N filter. would also be a good choice.

bawahahahahahaha

i'd say exhaust. if you don't have headers, get some racing beat. you should be able to find them used for 75-100. unless of course you have this an can disregard this post.

Racing Beat cat "test pipe" which is supposd to give you 2/3 of what a header and exhuast will give. It should help the flow a great deal. Then I would look at a K&N airfilter.

best of luck
