If you only had like $200-$300 to throw at your car, what would you start with? It runs fine, I just want to start making some upgrades, slowly.
Goals wize, very spirited daily driving, hopefully do some autocrossing this year, and down the road some track time(like a year or two) What i've got 2.0 d-jet KYB(Kill Your Back) shocks, around 30k miles old #140 welt. springs(I think all the way around, definatly in the back) 165r15 Sears (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) tires(with a lot of tread left) No sway bars(I know, it's a 76 with no bars) Thanks guys, Samson |

1st sticky tires
2nd shocks (Bilstein or Koni) 3rd 19mm front sway bar (should be a good match if you do indeed have 140lb. rear springs) 4th turbo tie rods 5th refresh bushings if needed (insert an alignment anywhere along the way if needed) |
