What to do with $100?
I just ordered a set of Tein HA dampers so I'm only going to spend $100 next. What would you guys recommend I spend then money with on my FD? I was leaning towards a Sparco shift ****, but I just wanted some opinions first. Give me some **** I can buy for my FD for around $100.

dont waste the $100 on a shift ****. Id say save it. What color is your FD? NR-Auto gauges are $99 and look killer! Maybe you want to look into those? website is www.nr auto.com (without the space)

A cheapo front shock tower brace? Just be careful in selecting a universal shift **** like Momo or Sparco... they don't always fit too well. The Mazdaspeed CF **** on the other hand is threaded for the FD, just a thought.

Like gnobsav said...hop on ebay an buy a cheap strut tower brace. They really do improve handling/feel.
I would also suggest a downpipe if you don't have one. You can buy those for $100-150.
Or you could Make a cold air intake like Pettit's: go to Kragen and order two K&N Cone shaped filters and make an Intake heat sheild out of some aluminum Sheet metal. Also run some 3" ducting form the nose of the car up to the filter(s)
Make a Torque Brace. $20

99 spec tail light conversion, shift **** like someone said, cheap strut tower bar like someone said, used FD rear wing if you want one and your FD doesn't have one, set of leather shift/ebrake boots.

how about some reading material. like that hard back book...what is the name of the author? DAMN it slipped my mind.
or gas and definatly a boost guage. and NOT a shift ****. or put that $100 away and save some more money and do some reading and research on here about your "next" mods...
unless you are going to die if you dont spend those 100 clams.

Go to your local nudy bar. 
That should last you a good 15 min "lol" ! OK, serioulsy you could get a pair of high wattage krypton light bulbs.

I got a set of slotted and crossdrilled rotors from www.irotors.com (I actually won them on E-bay. I was a little sceptical till I got them. Holly S**T what a steel $120 for a brand new set. They are on my car and look and work great. I was very pleased. (r&r them was a challenge breaking loose the two #3 philips screws that hold the rotors to each hub) Keep your eye on ebay I I cant atest for anyone other than what irotors was selling. So save it till you have 133 (shipping inculded)
