one of the more i guess cheaper mods that you can hear the difference and see it too is cold air intake.
if youd rather save the cash to put it towards more exterior body work (bodykit, hid, rims, etc) then dont.

i need to do interior body work but im restoring it rather than replacing it so its a lot of item research and itll be a lot of small sample test trial til you find what you want.
im also getting a weapon-r dragon cold air intake.
i have another 2000 miles before ill be back in a shop for scheduled maintenance, so i have 2000 miles to get eibach camber bolts and springs, maybe a sway bar? maybe even new struts. my car pulls to the right and i hate it so ill definitely be working on alignment, suspension etc

Canada got the LE SPORT 5-speed for 92-93. There was no SE trim. OP, check the FAQ for the free power mod, then move to suspension. Maybe wheels. Then TURBOOOO. PS- I'm jealous as hell of your car. It's EXACTLY what I want.

The CAI doesn't add any power. Just noise.

instead of turbo, why not supercharge?

Yes, you'd need to do some work. Check out EEngineer's old build. Or buy a bigger M90 S/C from GLP motorsports.

You'll have to weld one up. The stock one is CRAP.
