Make it handle first, seriously man. At least lowering it would be a good option, there's another thread going on now about King Springs fitted for $350ish. It would be the ultimate to do the shocks at the same time

THEN do the exhaust, but I would do pacemaker extractors and a 2.5" system for it, replace the cat too, rather then a cat-back sys. Redback make a nice off-the-shelf system for it. We all get excited about exhausts, at 25 I still do too, but if you can resist it, do the lowering / suspension first!

A K&N filter works nice in factory housings too..

Tint I honestly believe is very important mod. I've always had my cars tinted, and it's great. Makes the car so much cooler inside during any season, AND looks ИИИ trick too.

Stereo, can do it 1 bit at a time or as you can afford it / as good deals on
components come along. Thats my plan, what you think?!

If you need more power, a mild - medium performance cam will satisfy your thirst later..

nice buy mate, if you get superlows and take the mud flaps off it'll look awesome.

Take the mud flaps off anyway, they're a rust inhibitor.

Nice looking car there congrats, are those EB XR rims on it? they look good.
Didn't know that the EB s-pack interior was so similar to the EA's! :

well....the car is an EB1 S, so there are still lots of similarities to the EA....

S packs had those wheels, the XR ones are polished

High flow exhaust with high flow cat, dont get a k&n you'll find eficiancy goes through the window and you can smell the unburnt fumes. Mild cam and abit of a shaved head.
trust me youll feel the difference.

And yes a good suspension system will have to be first on the list.
