Default $300 Upgrade

Just to let you know I am a "new" / "old" poster. I used to have a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX about 3 years ago and wrecked it into a tree so I stopped coming on the forum. Recently bought a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and have done a few things to it. So far I have an Injen Short Ram Intake (I've shot 3 rods through 2 different motors with a full CAI and a rain storm, done with that and not doing a bypass valve), also have a B&M Short Throw shifter and a HKS Cat Back Exhaust. What do you guys think I should do next (performance wise)? I'm looking to spend around $300. Thanks for the input/advice.

my intention, lol. Yes go with headers, but it will probably run you over 300.

Eh, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-05...spagenameZWDVW
I know, its not the best brand, but 'the price is right, Bob.' Though, I also heard of someone having odd fitment problems. But, according to this guy these have already BEEN installed and worked.

well most likely you have some wheel hop. so imo upgrade your motor mounts ebay like 87.00 (thats were i got mine).nopi.com has them to./ or a stiffy from tearstone.com. believe me it helps. you can do it your self.

I agree with BK, go with the motor mounts, or maybe some suspension mods. But Dusty you should know better than ebay header. You know those welds are gonna suck. And its not really worth it performance wise. Definetly go with the mounts
