damn, what kind of parts you buying? spark plugs: -$25; wires: $20-$80; i wouldnt think a brake master cylinder would be all that much, but maybe you want a new one.. or junk yards are gettin more and more expensive.

Your car is stock right?
just do a 60k mile tune-up to get everything back to what it should be. But if you want speed and your car is in good condition.....
hmmmmmmmmm I would proly say get some pineapple racing sleeves and an intake. and you might have enough for a cat-back. lets see 50 for the sleeves, about 80 for the intake, and that is 130+200=330 that is like 270 left over that can get you a race pipe and still have some left over for some beer.

RB header+custom pipe: $180. RP catback: $150. i still need to install my pineapple sleeves ($50). not bad for $380.

maybe someone can explain it better, but they go into your aux ports (5th and 6th) and curve the air in instead of it not having a direct path. imagine the inside of any hollow cylinder. instead of the cylinder having a flat top, it now has a slant towards the housing.
wish i could just draw a picture or had the parts right in front of me for a visual, but i dont.. sorry.

Kind of depends on the shape of the car to begin with. If it has problems, fix them (I fixed my interior on my 87 after buying it, then did some tune-up stuff like fix leaks and gave it a wax). If you want handling, get shocks and springs. If you want a little more power, get a header and highflow cat / presilencer.
If I had $600 I would put it into my rebuild fund for my dead FC, he he he.
