Okay so I am pretty new here, already checked out alot of the aesthetic stuff sicne thats whats most important to me smile.gif

But now I am trying to plan out my car performance-wise and I have no idea what is what so thats what brings me to post!



I am interested in the best upgrades for a stock 94 gt coupe for my dollar. I'm trying to keep my gas mileage above 20mpg at least.

So anyone know what should be my main priorities?




oh and for some more questioning... it has 168k miles, and just finally had a problem. It won't start! I was driving and everything was fine, and when I parked it and went to go to school the next mornign it would'nt start, it will make the noise like its trying to start and all that but just won't start, my dad says it's probably an electrical glitch and we will just replace this one module that was - looking from the front of the car into the engine - near the back right. Hes right pretty much all the time when it coems to this kinda stuff but i was wondering what else could possibly be wrong?

sounds like a starter to me, tap on the starter its on the back of the motor and has a black cyllindrical casing, if you couldnt jump the car than thats your prob... tap on the outside of it with a hammer for a few secs, it will tap back into place, keep doing that until the car starts... its simple on the 5sfe, its like 2 or 3 bolts and 2 or 3 wires... did it myself on my old 91 gt

That kind of thing happens often... american cars lose their starters all the time, and only high mileage hondas and toyotas will lose theirs... my 91 had 198K miles on it when it went.... thats a lot of starts
