Upgrade list

Okay, recently I almost bought an FC so I started researching what mods are popular and what the approximate cost is for each one. Nowhere on the forum could I find such a list so I thought it might be cool to make one up. In my mind I saw a list that was somewhat in order of ease and cost, I hope that the 1st gen. gurus chime in and help build a solid document.

Now I am nowhere near as educated or experienced in FB's as some of you, but I will kick it off with a few meager suggestions. Please feel free to add and/or correct any information.

And it goes a little something like this:

-Remove A/C, free
-Electric fan, $30-$150
-Open air filter, $20-$60
-Blaster 2 coils, $50 each
-Lightweight flywheel, $300
-Upgrade clutch $150-$400
-LSD, $100-$300

your looking at 500 for a good quality lightweight flywheel, you can get one for 300 but it is almost stock and not worth the money in my opion.
just about all of that stuff it just depends on exactly how nice you want to go. a good clutch will run you 300 (disk)
i would also look into weight reductions if you are going to spend that kind of money,
i would get a free flowing exaust from a local muffles shop for 300$ roguhyl
i would also port your engine 15$ for templates if you feel like you are skilled enough, and maybe 50$ for the disk and die, if you already have the tool, bridging is also a good idea and of course you must chip that puppy like no tommorow for around 30$
def get good plugs, 20$ each for high end plugs yea
also i would look into a body kit ehhehe but they canrangbe in prioce from 1,200 to alot ahhaha well hope that was of some help.
