I Have About $230 American... What Go-Fast Goody Should I Look At?

BowTie Eater 5 Liter · 01-21-2002, 09:17 PM

I have $380 Canadian, so that is like 230-235 american, and was wondering what would make the most improvement?

Open to any suggestions

Thanks

You could get an off-road H-pipe and a set of pulley's for that much. This would definately give you a good seat-of-the-pants improvement.

I'd personally buy gears with that money and then save a little more for the install $

get on ebay and do a search for 93 mustang you will find all kinds of parts that you could pick up for around that kind of dough ive gotten tons of stuff at most of the times half of the cost just use good judgement some things wear out some things dont you can just about always find throttle bodies and pully sets and things like that it wont matter one bit if they were used a little anyways thats my thoughts good luck

Here are a few suggestions:

1) Subframe connectors ($100-$150 US)
2) Aftermarket shifter ($180 US)
3) Underdrive pullies ($100 US)

Gears would definately be worth saving though as fiveohpatrol mentioned above.
