what next with a couple of dollars

ok i ve just installed  a cold air intake, polished intake manifold lower and upper manifold,70 mm throttle an spacer all polished.

what should i buy next the gears 4 the rearend. aluminum driveshaft,an induction hood, save up 4 some rims

just remember im a 17 year old kid with at least 200 dollars saved up . or should i fix my throttle problem

i have a problem with the throttle beacause a have digital gauges and its above the number 1 in the RPM and sometimes when i push the throttle cable back so it closes the throttle door and it calms down but once i acelerate it stays a litttle open. enought to almost hit the 2 in the rpm when its in neutral or park.

3.73 gears. Or exhaust if you don't have it.

Sounds like your throttle plate is sticking, clean it out and work it with some WD-40.

yea...fix whatever is wrong with the car before spending money on other stuff.
rear gears are probably the biggest bang for the buck with NOS being second. 200 dollars wont get you gears if you are buying them new. there is other stuff you need. i also assume you are going to pay someone else to install them being as its much more advanced than say, installing an intake. unless you buy a whole rear end. then you could be in buisness.

you should set up a cardomain page or at least post some pics guy...

On your throttle problem, check your TPS voltage and clean out your IAC.....

if they are for the rear end you have and you are going to have someone install them for you. also depends on shipping, and the final auction price.


also, whats with the 4 6x9s in the trunk?

for godsakes man, lose the chrome fender strips.

everyone here knows its not an edelbrock intake on there. its a knock off. (and yes i know the one in the pics is a stock intake)

aint no way you have anything even in the relm of 326 HP nor does your car even come close to 14s...sorry bro dont mean to bust your balls but you kind of beg for it.

You want to know what you can buy with the couple dollars?  A clue....

"Keeping up with Mustangs" doesn't impress me in the least either, but hey apparently at 17 you are easily impressed.  Besides I'm sure "rolling on 14's" the car handles for  anyway.  Bet you're running 10" brakes in the front too.  Filling the car w/ stereo  does not a modified car make...

And since my car is far from stock, I'll criticize since that seems to be the allowable criteria for even talking about your car.

Screw it...fix your throttle problem, buy gears, or stick the money up your ass....we really don't care....

well...headers back exhaust and an intake manifold...youll burn the shiznit out of all of us...when your car isnt even going to have the power of a stock HO...

ever notice that the people with the most questions, the least knowledge, and not much money think they will beat everything? youre not going to keep with a stang very easily, unless its a 4-banger, trust me

btw, i was just wondering about the 6x9s in the trunk. i didnt say i though it was "gay as hell", retarded, queer, and just plain silly. you are however the only person ive ever seen put the sound drivers in the trunk and the subs in the car..but whatever thats cool. maybe you are into spl or whatever. the install actually looks pretty good. certainly puts my stock door speakers and empty speaker holes with my pioneercd player to shame....

are you serious...with having basically the same mods you do PLUS the stick conversion aint no way yourburnin anything up. sorry pal. if you want to race..glad too. name the track and time.  id love to be able to say i smoked a 326 HP car with my mighty 155HP..

and...

cmon man..seriously. with the questions you ask around here and the recent trouble you have been having (caused by yourself at that) i can only imagine what your engine combo is now. you cant even handle a simple intake swap without scewing it up but you have all these mods listed...whats up with that?

edit:
uppon further investigation... why is the only pic or "your" engine bay the only pic that cant be maximized(or made bigger by clicking)? could it be because its not your car. looks to me like its a mustang. in fact, id bet my left nut its a mustang. i could be wrong but i have never seen a tbird with a prop rod or hinges like the ones in the pic. there is mor evedance there but why bother...

well...i dont race anybody. im over that stuff now. im sure you are one of those guys who runs arounf saying how you smoked that kid in his cavalier or your friends moms grand am.

me putting a turbo coupe hood on my car (a very common mod done cause it looks better) is no different than you putting your ground fx on your car...wich by the way look awesom with the stock 14"ers and that phat chrome trim. i couldnt car less what anyone thinks about my car. in fact, i like a little constructive criticism... i would never get worked up about someones opinion about my car. apparently you cant handle that, my bad. i was just tryin to halp. you will find that people around here are very helpfull and patient. we also have a little fun with each other. well, thank you for taking the time to look at my cardomain..hope you voted...have a nice day.
