Planned upgrades

[Insanedeth]

I've been lurking these forums for a while, then I finally registered. Now i think I have a complete list of upgrades to do to my car for the next year or so.

First off, I drive a '95 Sunfire 2.2L 3spd Auto, I know it's probably the worst of all to be upping, but it's what I have to work with.

Now I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers on my list, or help me decide which order to do these in.

I'm thinking of doing the stuff in this order right now.

Pacesetter Armor-Coat Header $219.99

Magnaflow Carsound OBD-II Stainless Hi-Flow Cat $75.00

Monza CatBack Exhaust From Pacesetter $179.99

RSM 59mm Throttle Body/Manifold $460.00 - 100 core

RDFABS Short Ram Intake With K&N Filter $135.00

Eibach Sway bar set $275.00

RK Sport Subframe Bar $75.95

RSM Strut Tower Brace - Front $80.00

RSM Strut Tower Brace - Rear $80.00

KYB AGX Struts $499.99

Pro Kit Sport Lowering Springs by Eibach $199.99

Edit to change per suggestion.

Thats one of the better lists i have seen put together..

only things i would change/upgrade are;

Pacesetter - get the armor coated one. It will last longer.

KYB gr-2 struts- go with the AGX's GR-2 are meant for a drop and it won't ride very nice.

For the rksport intake... I'm not one to pay 160 bucks for a plastic intake. The buisness i am associated with make them out of Stainless steel and come with a filter.. www.rdfabs.com

I'm seeing that as being quite the expensive upgrade, and something I'd have to have done for me.

I would throw some motor mounts in there to.

Theres the tranny, now you need an ECM, clutch pedal, tranny mounts, flywheel, clutch, and so on. Shouldnt run THAT much, and you will most likly run faster with just that, then all those mods.

ya the tranny would prolly be an expensive swap... but a 3 speed auto sucks prolly rob u of a half second

I'm pretty sure that that's far out of my league right now, and it's not like I can't do my planned mods, and do the tranny later when i understand my engine a bit more and have a mechanic I trust.

or you could just spend like 100 bucks and get a shift kit and be up there with the manuals and still eat your icecream at the same time.
