yeah yeah shocks, bushings first. you dont want a squishy rx. if so then you bought the wrong car. its a handler, so make it handle.

As stated by deadRX7Conv, safety and reliability come first. (Sorry if I spelled that wrong!)

Get a Turbo timer. Better to have a fairly slow car than to **** the **** out of your $2000 turbo. Then again, you just might want to do that so you can buy an HKS turbo upgrade.

Too bad you got all that and you didnt buy one of the most important things! A FCD! Now your stock computer is gonna be cutting fuel since your boost will increase and you wont get the full potential of these performance products! Well, I guess you could always make a homemade FCD. Ive heard of it being done but never paid too much attention since I have a RB FCD.

i say get a full exhaust and some struts, you probably wont be hitting fuel cut with 'just' exhaust on there, but you will be close.

Save the money a little and go with either a TEIN or JIC setup. Why spend $700 on suspension when you can get 10 times the performance for less than half the price?

not that I'm forced to read it or anything...

now, on the topic at hand..
if your car has 150K on it, i'd look into getting its compression checked before I did any power mods!
bah leave him alone if he wanted advice on grammar he wouldnt be posting here thanx

Exhaust id pick btw

With 150,000 miles and the hard life that lies ahead, I'd keep the $800 as a downpayment on a new engine.....It's not going to last forever.
