well for slightly over $500 you can have a akmee head package which will give around a 20 to 25hp jump in power

Hmmm, good points all around (except for the stickers...).

How about suspension, any recommendations to make this thing take a 90 degree turn without flinching?

only effective way for a d series is boost, any other way, and you're just throwing money out the window. if only 500 for performance...well...i wouldn't buy anything performance oriented at all. i'd just buy something to dress it up and make it look better since it's still gonna be slow considering you money limit.

I agree with 500$ i'll just buy something that makes the car look nice. Alteast you'd have a deccent looking car instead of buying something that isnt going to do much performance for the car.

get some toyo proxies for your wheels toyos FTW, some nice wide wheels, and some hard *** suspension, it wont be a lux ride, but it will corner, also strut braces, im still debating if they really help so much, that should shoot you in the right direction

Oh and dont forget to put your shopping list down the car door

Improving performance of yourauto isn't a big deal.That's what all people wanted, to have an upgraded performance exhaust that brings best functionality and operations in your auto. Exhaust acts as engine support system that deals with exhaust gases that ought to be released immediately. Your vehicles may assure quality performances.
