For performance something that hasn't been mentioned is a tuneup. Prices vary widely depending on what brand parts you use and whether you do the work yourself or pay someone to do it, but you'd be surprised how much faster your car will feel after you change that dirty *** air filter along with plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and whatever else you can afford.

Mine would probably be my $10 montser cable RCA - 1/8' plug for my iPod. Going straight into my aftermarket Alpine HU. I keep the darn thing on my lap, maybe someone has a better idea of where to place the ipod.

OLT, no need to pm...Bought the almost matching leather wheel cover off of ebay for $20... paid $5 for shipping....Comes with genuin leather cover, gut string and needle....I am not much for sewing and infact hate it but in 45 minutes I knocked this out and it is a tight and clean fit...The grip on the wheel is also much fatter now....feels much better then stock... All in all I am very happy with that little purchase...Comes in many different colors and sizes from what I remember.....

Another couple of car changing best kept secrets would be the "Maguire's" polishing compounds bottles 1,2, and 3, after those three waxing compounds are applied it will give your paint that new unreal look....There is another product called "plastic shine" that keeps all your exterior plastics looking great and like new.....headlights, tail lights, etc...

I'll start it off by stating the mod, price, installation......

Daizen Sway bar bushings. $30 + shipping from TM engineering. Installation by my mechanic, pretty straightfoward install. It took a total of 20 minutes to put these suckas in. The ride quality suffered a little but the cornering ability has increased drastically. For $30 bucks, it's totally a bargain.
Be sure to grease the hell out of them.
I totaly agree with this one. Back when I had my SC400 I put on the Daizen Sway Bushings when I still had stock suspension and I could really feel a difference.

yeah bro. Could you believe it? I walked right up to the counter and asked them for parts. They knew I was from CL, and they especially knew I had an SC so they gave me a discount when I asked for it. They even called me sir!
