Default first performance upgrade

hey people i just got a 93 3000gt sl about 2 weeks ago and i dont know that much about cars so i was looking for some opinions on upgrades.im looking to spend about atotal of about 2 or 3 grand in performance upgrades but i have no idea what i want to put on itbesides a set of 18s. I just kind of got into cars when i got this thing cuz i had no idea driving was this fun so i decided id make it even more fun by soopin it up a lil. Please post your opinion of what kind of stuff my car could use in terms of anykind of mod that will increase its performance.

<FONT color=green size=3>LOL....I don't consider new 18" wheels as a performance upgrade, but if it were my car, I'd do the following first. Add a catback exaust with either a test pipe or hi flow cat, gut the precat's, add a cold air intake and AM air filter, remove the resonator bottle,AM plugs and wires, and If it's a manual tranny.. add a good clutch, add pullies and a flywheel.That's a pretty good start until you decide to get in to the motor, at which point you would want to add an LSD, when your horsepower requires it. </FONT>

Yea, id say a good cat-back exhaust w/ a test pipe, cold air intake, clutch/flywheel, and thennnn plenty of stickers lol <IMG src=smileys/smiley8.gif border="0"> 3000GT's are expensive... Not just in the car, btu performance upgrades cost a lot too. clutch/flywheel for a decent one can run like $600 w/out instal, intake can cost up to $200, cat back dual exhaust will cost like $800 depending on what kind (borla will be more expensive), and then u can find test pipes for liek $50...so that right there your lookin close to $1650. Then you get 18's...w/ new tires cuz they make a huge difference will run you at least $1,000, so now ur at $2650...so if you actually ended up doin all that, i bet ud still want more lol, and it's worth it, just make sure that you keep all of your stock parts
