I dont know if I would put rims on it or not. Rims cost money and there is always that chance of messing them up. If you could find some low-cost rims, which you wont care about curb rash or dirt then go for it.
I would probably put some of the money towards getting a tune up and maybe even putting some sort of stereo in it.

thats what i was thinking is there anything that i can get that will boost the performance of the engine and i was thinking of getting dual 12" kicker subs and a amp but i dont know what to do about speakers can somebody build a complete steroe system for about $1000 or perferably less. the subs and amp have to be good but the speakers just have to be deacent.

I know i didnt think there was anything i just wanted to double check.

jp198780 · 07-05-2006, 07:34 AM

yeah, i dont think you can, maybe a custom cold air intake? lol.

Performance wise, I'm not completely sure what there is for that type of car. More than likely there will not be a whole lot of bolt on performance parts for that model. But with a little research and asking, you might be surprised at what type of parts may be available.

oo, i just remembered, you could get a nice exhaust system, not the big coffee can junks, a nice 1, an exhaust place will probrably charge you like $250, if that.

If your totally into performance, then there is something's you could do like gut the whole thing out to lighten it up. (I don't think your dad would like that idea,). I guess you could also add some nitrous, maybe even possibly do a V-8 engine swap.
I'd probably look into buying a different car if you really want to get into the performance side of cars.

jp198780 · 07-05-2006, 07:43 AM

yeahh, it'd be 2 much work, a V-8 is obviously alot bigger, and you would have 2 weld up different motor mounts, lot of work.
