2400 in mine.

1700 for jspec engine.
+afm, throttle cable, ecu, boost sensor, stg3 clutch for na trans and ebay fmic piece together.

you could probably do it for cheaper.

My selling point would be "i am creating a 4,500 dollar t2 for 3,100 dollars." I would show up with flowers and cook her favorite meal, then explain the great news about your new "investment".

That is the expansive way to make 200hp. Please use the search function. All your questions have been asked many times before.

hey dont get those wheels... they are horrible sized and you might regret it later on once you learn about sizing. They will loook extremely goofy on the fc, stock body, and even more goofy with a kit... The size of those wheels are more ideal for a front wheel drive or all wheel drive car which doesnt utilize wide/staggered offset wheels. Wheels designed for a RWD car will be more suitable.

Id consider suspension, preferably coilovers, then wheels/tires, diff and bodykit if you like. Power can wait imo. Nothing like seeing a 400hp car with stock suspension not not being able to utilize that power. Its mostly up to you though. You can have gobs of fun with suspension over power... Cornering in a car with tons of power/lack of suspension is scary.

TX Wing for Show car?

Wings were made to add downforce to the rear of the vehicle so that drive wheels maintain traction at higher speeds. Simply putting one on to make the car "Look" better is a waste of money. The stock wing is perfectly fine and looks great with the car. Why fix something if it isn't broken. That is just my 2 cents.

Coilovers are going to make the car more fun to drive and it will have a better stance. A body kit is going to make your na look rice and it appears you think the kits come painted in your body color. Painted kit = $1500 vs Good coilovers = $1500. PS, cheap coilovers are not worth the money. Get a set of Teins or try to find a pair of Kei Office. I love mine.

I know the kits don't come painted, I can take it her to a tech school and have her painted just for cost. no labor. or paint her myself... I have a shop I can take her too.
I can rent the booth for 200, and do all myself. I did goto school for autobody way back n 88


but it does have a low rider truck feel now, meaning when I drive slow like to stop. it jumps up and down like a lowrider turck..

have y'all heard of them
