OKay i wanna buy myself a pressie...
My budget is 300-500 or so
options so far:
1) Front Bar
2) Gt Wing
3) 2nd Hand Tein Coilovers (in parts for sale section)
4) Get Doors/ gear boot trimmed in leftover leatherette
5)buy lots of little thingos (New chrome wipers, oil pressure guage, gear knob, etc.)
6) New Steering wheel
7) New Cannons on Exhaust (will get rid of the "buzz" noise and sound meatier)
Suggestions?
atm im leaning towards exhaust

I'd go the exhaust too. And maybe some dials.

yeh, the front bar would be unpainted... thinking i might get the whole kit and new spray job all in one go....
goin in to see my exhaust place on monday. atm i have 2x 4 inch autotechnica cannons... apparently they are too light for my setup (i.e. 2.5" piping and high flow cat etc)... exhaust guy said they have ones that would be perfect for me.. about $500 for two cannons and labour.

Steering wheel, that's what you'll be touching in your car the most! Well, i hope so anyway...

Are you getting just the muffler or CAT back? If its CAT back, i would pick that first, as its one mod you will feel the different.
difference

yes Gav and what one did u get...
as for the zorst covered like 100 times. Get a good hi-flow not el-cheep'o
look for good CFM ratings..there was a post in another section with some links..
or just get your cat and punch a pipe straight though and just leave the shell...does the trick instant gain but it kills the penguins.
