Smartest thing for me to do EVER!!!!

Hey guys i was thinking about a lot of stuff to do for my car and when it came down to it i dont want a car that is riced out.....So this is my decision...with the money that i am gonna make through out the winter and spring im gonna save up and instead of rims and all that other junk ill put it into getting a turbo and 5 speed swap. Id rather stay on stock rims and just lower it and put all of my money into the engine. I want a car that can at least keep up with som of the other cars on the road. Also thinking of gutting the back seats putting in a roll cage and some sparco or recaro seats. Let me know what you guys think!!!!

I would say do the roll cage or seats only if you are going to track. Otherwise, damn wat the hell you need a roll cage for on the street.

I've got a couple of buddies w/ evidence on why it's important to have a cage in a street car also

It's all about the "go" baybee. Show comes later, that way you can back up the good looks with raw power, and not the other way around--

Hmm maybe supercharger, easiler to do, doesn't require as much adjustments. basically daily driver setup.

Yeah, well my advice is that either way, supercharger, engine swap, turbo, u going to gain some problems for the HP. So save some money on the side for unexpected repairs or adjustments. Plus don't forget installing.
