Ok, I have about $300 to blow on my car. Here are my options

1. TRD Springs
2. side skirts (might not get painted though)
3. DR CAI(although, I think I'm just gonna make my own from my Weapon R tube)
4. Save the money for my rims.(although I L-O-V-E the way Einki RS-5 rims look, I'm gonna save 1500 and get Superleggeras,,, It was true love when I first saw them when I was 14. they were on a silver 97 eclipse GS. Oh how I remember....)
5. get coil overs of some kind... with stock shocks.
6. fill in the blank.

No, I will not 'save' for 'real' mods. I don't see an engine swap in my cars near future. Just let me know what I should do.

(I rolled $200 in coins tonight, and I have loads left over to do tomorrow.)

get some TRD springs, installation isnt bad, you can DIY. just need a way to compress the spring, good way to get creative. DONT get sideskirts and leave them unpainted nothing is more annoying or ricey than some1 with an unpainted bodykit.

route id recommend with 300 to blow:
1. buy TRD springs and self install
2. DIY short ram from your weapon-R tube and get a K&N filter

thats as far as you could probably stretch 300 bones, maybe get some spray paint and go over your brakes and interior as well.

another route:
1. strut bar
2. TRD springs
both DIY installs

a 3rd route:
1. get a 150 dollar head unit
2. replace your four 6 1/2" interior speakers
if you already have a head unit pick up an amp.

300 bucks is also a good number to get some bodywork done, IE: if you are like me and have a rust spot or dent that is just eating away at you get that fixed!

saving is the hardest thing to do but usually has the biggest payoff...
its up to you!
