Default so. heres my plan for my car over the next 6-7 weeks...

ok so as i have stated before, ive decided to make my car an auto cross car or just a non straight line car. here are my next plans for it. already have the appointment for the gears. in order form soonest to later with the last ones being at the same time:

3.73 gears that i already have installed(next friday)
new spec stage 1 clutch and billett aluminum flywheel (2 weeks after the gears)
then a little while later, but all to be installed during my vacation to Texas during the week of and after thanksgiving-
Steeda Tubular Front Sway Bar
Steeda Mustang Competition Springs
front/rear BBK spring isolators for the worn out stock ones which im sure i need
upper/lower control arms
and lastly, but most needed-4 Nitto NT555 245/45/17 tires

so all in all, including labor for some of it, should be right around 3k. im really excited. this will be the last things i do to the car for some time.

any opinions on what im doing and what i shouldnt waste my time on ro anything like that? and remember i want the car to turn and not spin into a wall, therefore the power is not too much of an issue for now.
