Hello everyone I am looking to do some mods to my car I dont have a lot of money and this is really my first car I am going to do anything to.
Any advice or suggestions would be great. Ill be posting pics soon!!
Get a cold air intake, cheap easy install, I went with Demolet after KS suggested it. It is made of abs plastic so won't heat up in the engine bay like the chrome tubes will. I would also go with exhaust, just make sure the pipes are 2.25", that is the best size for the V6.

I agree on the intake Demolet is a good brand (wish I would of got one )
For the exhaust it depends on what he wants; The exhaust will give you a little exra power but it will give you really good sound. However if horsepower to the $$$ ratio is what he wants the Under Drive Pullies would be the better buy.
I don't like Welcome to RPM Outlet but they are the only ones who sell 42% under drive which gives you the most power.

gears might not be a bad idea either, won't add horsepower, but will accelerate faster, i am personally looking at motive gears 3.45, but a lot of people go with the 3.73 or the 4.10

I'm personally not a big fan of gears, I always liked keeping the RPM's low on the highway, but you are right gears are a good bang for buck.
A tuner wouldn't be a bad purchase either.
How much are planning on spending?

I look at it this way, I only need a bit of wheelslip on launch - which I already have.
Bang for buck - which is higher?
they're gonna run 600-800 once it's all said and done - ported heads or gears? Ported intakes or gears?
Most cases, I'm going with what'll make me more efficient, and use the savings - If I still need the gears, I can get them with the efficiency savings down the road..

I don't "need" it, but I want it -it was a low priority, but since it's not clear whether or not they will ever be made again, it's moved the priority list.
the K-member provides a drop of 1" and a rear relocation of 1" and has better geometry for anti-dive and acceleration. With the control arms that move the front wheel's forward, that places the engine 2.5" farther behind the front wheels and 1" lower for better CG. It's almost a Front Mid engine at that point.
the front cylinders from the factory are even with the shock towers. the simultaneous rear location and forward location of the wheels means the virtual front axle is infront of the engine.
Addtionally the whole package saves 45 lbs off the nose.
Combine that with battery relocation, and lightweight hood and fenders, etc, and weight distribution is pretty close to 50/50.

oh ok, that makes sense, but you can't find it?, If you do will you send me a message
E-bay search . . .
I've run across a few, but keep getting outbid. They're getting pricey, as KB's on hiatus.
