wtf is that nasty thing on the front of your hood?

A civic of that year and condition would cost >£20.000 here....
A rock guard for the hood, which came with the car and doesn't seem to work too well, considering my hood is pitted like hell. I might get a new hood in the future. I personally would have never installed it, because they have to like screw holes into your hood and put this shitty tape on and yeah, it sucks. But it's not too bad.

The car itself? Or the muffler and headers?

I can pick up the muffler I want for probably $100, then get it welded on. The headers are probably like $200 or $250 or so, and I'd install them myself.

That ain't cheap!

Well I dunno, I don't know how much these parts are supposed to be priced.

Ok so you've got your intake/exhaust sorted out. Now get rid of all your junk in your car. Make it as light as possible. Clean that shit up. Then replace your two front seats with some lightweight racing bucket seats. Put some lightweight alloy rims on (non-douchebag-variety rims).  Um.... then just leave it.

Maybe remap the ECU, or whatever it's called.

Then leave it as it is.

Wait, lets think. What else can you do, that works nice, but isn't over the top douchebag ricer. Yet isn't overly complex and expensive either.

$350CAN? That's pocket change. I'm continuesly amazed with how cheap car parts can be, given it wouldn't get you much for a bike.

It's my first car... not a high end drag monster...

I need to build up some more money in my account, then I'm only doing a few more things, like muffler, new windshield (mines so pitted it's hard to see out when the sun hits it), tint the back windows, and get the door dings pulled out.

Once I'm older and have more cash, I'm thinking about buying a Toyota Supra twin turbo. I will invest a lot more money into that one and make it a race car.

Something like a 1994 or 1995 Supra, like this.

This one has been modded a bit, but I'll get a stock Supra and go from there. It'll be a 5 speed, twin turbo, which comes with approximately 300hp. I'll do a few engine mods, bring the hp up to maybe 350 or so, then work on the exterior.

Though by the time I'm old enough and have enough money to afford a 1995 Supra, it'll be hard to find one that old and in decent shape.
