HELP!!! $200 and I dont know what to buy!

[DFG 5OH]

I know it doesnt sound like much, but I've gotta spend it cause i got it as Christmas money. I'm not too worried about performance, cause my dad isnt too hot on letting me make it faster right now, so i was leaning twords something to make it look better??? I've got and H-Pipe in the garage, and mufflers in the mail, thats my only mods. Any ideas please help!!!!

I was thinking about tuning my car up some more, K&N, Dist. Cap & Rotor, 9mm Ford Racing plug wires, maybe an optima battery???
I was also thinking about a new leather shift boot, and a leather 03 Cobra knob.
Or some headlights, and emblems?

If the car hasn't had it tune up lately start with this first minus the batt. if you don't need it. With the money left over get some ASP pulleys he'll never know

Well i tuned it up, spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, oil. I need to finish it, and i thought about making my own CAI

K&N, Dist. Cap & Rotor, 9mm Ford Racing plug wires will run you about $100. for the other $100 i'll send you my bbk polished aluminum pulleys . you can't get them that cheap anywhere...

 

[ProKiller]

get the e-cam you want. you mean to tell me that your dad would be pissed if you already had it and wanted his help to put it in.

if not, i would go with cold air kit and a tune up.

 

[DFG 5OH]

aww, i'm not gonna get into the motor for a while. Just bolt ons for now, next summer when i can make more money i'll get into the motor.

 

[DFG 5OH]

Well i could get Plug Wires for $50.00, K&N for $40.00, dist cap and rotor for $40. So theres $130.00. Any more suggestions?

 

[go.rei GT]

The pullies and tuneup combination sounds good. If you got black underdrives your dad really wouldn't know. If they were polished or anodized you could just say they're to dress up the engine bay.
Also, why is a cap and rotor $40?

 

[mootang]

ford racing wires from summit are $40 and an msd cap and rotor are only $25

get the upr short billitt antenna for $30, they look way better than the stock 28" one.

 

[ponypowa2]

headlights really make it look new, that and mirrors painted (if you dont have them painted already)

 

[BlackVert]

i just got some ford racing wires for $32 at advance auto parts. since i go up there all the time, i can get some there and throw them the box with the pulleys.

so $130 for the pulleys and the wires...something to think about.

Well i'm pretty convinced on MSD Cap and Rotor $25.00. Ford Plug Wires $40.00. K&N Filter - $40.00, and eBay headlights - $135.00. and a bluetooth dongle for my cell. But i'll think about it blackvert! BTW i've got $250 instead of $200

 

[Black95GTS]

SHORT THROW SHIFTER! It was my first mod and if I had to start over again it would again be my first mod. It will feel like a completely different car, in a good way.

Sorry to jack the thread, (good choices by the way) but i just went through Blue Oval Industries and picked up the Smoked Headlights and Fog Lamps from them for 235 US dollars, plus shipping. Not a bad deal, it just sucks that I can't install them till I get back home from this hole.

 

[scarless]

Matt, I have some used head bolts I'll let you have for $199 shipped.

 

[super302]

short shifter, and tune up

Hey xr8d302 did you buy them off ebay or from blue oval industries directly?

Ok enough hijacking. I say get the tune up stuff and the pullies if you can swing it. Like others said your dad will never know and they are a pretty good mod for the price (my first mod actually.....I rem like it was yesterday. )

 

[scarless]

Matt, get the K&N, Cap & Rotor, & wires. Also, put in new plugs, hoses, alignment, break job. Maintenance first, then other stuff. Try polishing the headlights before you replace them. Get some Blue Magic metal polish and 1500 grit wet sand paper. Wet sand then polish with a buffer. FYI, I still have those old head bolts too!
