Default Good interior pic and contemplating

heres a good shot of the interior and i'm looking for opinions on what i should do with my tax return since i'm am too indecisive. i'm either going to modifiy the engine with a top end rebuild kit from modern along with aluminum flywheel, exhaust header, intakemanifold, and mopar pcm plus wheels and tires or should i get a body kit, headlight, taillights, lambo doors, paint,interior, system, and wheels and tires. too many choices and not enough money[&:]

I think that looks nice man. Your gonna have to tell me how u did all that one day. Im doing the black and red theme with my lil hot rod.

And for the money ever think going down the turbo road and running 8-10 psi?
If thats not what u want still use your money for performance not looks. Everybody loves a sleeper

would like to go turbo but that would take all of my money(stage 2 turbo, fuelmanegment,MS,gauges and what not)and before i do that i would like to modify the internals to run say 15 psi?? would like to go sleeper but at the same time a neon with a body kit lambo doors finished interior would be well a really sweet lookin ride

I have always had a fascination with lambo doors myself i dont know what it is. I would rather play it safe and run 8-10 psi and have my engine last for awhile than have 15psi and wear down the engine real quick or just have something go wrong like with poor old spud. Yeah i forgot most you guys on here have a lot of miles i did too before i swapped a new engine in. So you def will have to buy a re build.

thats why i'm not going turbo my engine won't be able to handle it,which is one reason i might put my tax money into the engine. i was thinking switching from a sohc to a dohc(port and polish), comp cam and valve springs and retainers, pistons and rings, new main and rod bearings along with exhaust manifold and a extrude hone intake manifold,msd ignition, TBoh and oversized valves. i think there is more but get remember right now

Rebuilding your whole motor wouldnt be a bad idea at all
Switch to DOHC
top/bottom end rebuilds
iceman intake
catback exhaust
aem cam gears
UDP
and some other stuff and your car would be pretty quick

yeah you can. should give you higher compression with OEM rods/pistons


the inside doesnt look bad you just need to do something with your steering wheel
