true that. but that would be like......$12g? or something?? thats about more than half of what i bought my car for!
FI seem pretty expensive...but iam sure its worth it...i really want to get some HKS exhaust tho...plus i dun want to go crazy on it...trying to keep the car stock. lil mods make me happy

i'll be going N/A and going with all high quality parts. see if it works out well.... so far, i plan to get a cosworth plenum, injen CAI, tomei headers, cosworth heads so i can put in tomei cams- 280degrees.
yes...thats $$$$$$$ but, atleast u got quality parts and u wont go BOOM.

for your mods listed above headers arent really woth it...
you can look into the tuner vortech supercharger kit im not sure what the power output is between the tuner or full kit but it definately looks worth it and performance factory highly recommended on this site

yeah im sorta in your shoes. theres no way i'll be forking out serious $$$ for HP that i'll probably never use/scared to use. (not to mention the lack of money for)
you're probably looking to do some light mods that will give a little kick to your car. It's like u're buying your woman a nice thong instead of forking out serious dough for a boob job
IMHO, to gain moderate HP while keeping your engine safe and reliable with out spending TOO much money + you can buy each peice one at a time:
get a plenum spacer *
and
an injen CAI (heard its the best CAI for our cars)
and then do some suspensions mods for better backroad experience.
you'll feel a kick to it

Great analogy with the thong and the boob job lol
But I think I’ll do the CAI, spacers, and exhaust
What kind of suspension mods are you talking about…

i heard great things with TEIN
but theres this other suspensions that my friend told me about by a company called Ohlins. he told me that they are really nice and rare. But i cant find any reviews about them
then there are teh struts and sways to further work wiht your TEIN coilovers (or what ever company u get)
oh yeah, if u're gonna get an exhaust, get some TOMEI headers wiht that too. its like 999 or something from gruppe-s
