I would hold off on the TB until you start making a little more power. The money could be spent elsewhere on the car.

Can you explain how I could spend the $40 better? Not trying to bother you but I just dont have any experiance with performance mods. I can replace anything from windows to clutches, but I dont know much about what benifits theese cars specificly...

Would a long tube or short tube header be better for max power? Whats a good one, and where can I get it cheap?
I want to autocross it, and the stoplight to stoplight crap mabey... Might even run it on the track for kicks
and giggles but I dunno...

How hard are they to install?
Are they going to make my eardrums explode after a highway journy?

Still up for suggestions for tires, aswell as other power mods.

Thanks for your time
~Nate

I put my order in. got the UDP, mounts, bobble strut, plugs, and wires...
getting a pair of tires, and a TB from an ATX neon.
How else can I spend whats left of my $300 for toys on this car. Header or PCM? Something compleatly different?
Let me know, thank you for the help

May I ask why?
What's the best one under $300? I'm not afraid of ebay, or even used...

Is the header that much of a SOB to install, does it not give much of a power boost, something... Not trying to be an idiot, im just a noob

Thank you
~Nate

As a matter of fact I have a Front Motor Mount for sale already has the Insert installed. I removed mine and put a solid one on there.

also, I have a Pacesetter headder that is a direct fit to the stock. but, the long tube headder gives more HP you have to move the cat further down.

On another note the solid motor mount and solid bobble strut make the interior squeak a little bit it is not bad.

If you are wanting to upgrade to an ATX TB, then I think it's worth it. If you were looking to spend $250+ on a 55mm or bigger TB, then I'd say spend it elsewhere.
