That will cost you $2500+, not including labor.

I need $2000 if you love charity. It could be a tax write off. Think about it. It's a hell of an idea, I think.

how I would do it:

RB cat back: $400
SS DP: $300
alum ast: $150
PowerFC w/ commander: $1150

by my math that is $2000 w/o tax & shipping...
will increase HP and reliability

You should replace the vacuum lines with silicone, I say get it done before it causes a problem. HEY! Thats the strangest thing... I have a comlete silicone hose kit for sale! ...weird... PM me if interested. But you should concentrate on reliablitity to give you a safe platform for future mods, thats the key to safe horsepower...

YOU GUYS ARE ALL WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

THE BEST WAY YOU CAN SPEND $2000 ON A MOD IS TO GO GET A 1988 CORROLLA OR A 1990 HONDA CIVIC. YOU'LL THANK ME AND NAME YOUR FIRST BORN AFTER ME YEARS FROM NOW.

for two thousand bucks you can get a nice daily beater. how about a kawasucki 500, or even better a nice honda cbr 600f2. a few more bones and you can get an awesome f3. why would you want to look like crap if you cant drive the 7. then again, i do have a crx for a daily beater, a cbr as the fun beater and the 7 for beating v8's. go with the bike, you wont regret it unless you would be a total squid.

good luck finding a good '88 corolla for $2000. after the initial d craze hit, the value of the car just about doubled, and it is a lot more rare now... i would agree that a bucket to put miles on is well worth the money though.
