so as the title says I have 2k I'm looking to spend on MY03 parts. Possibly thinking about a rsg mugen rep hardtop or new tires for my Gramlights. Or would it be a good idea to save up another 2k and get a Kraftwerks supercharger? Any advice helps.. This money is burning a hole in my pocket and ready to be put into my s!

Tires are usually the best investment if yours are close to being worn out.

If you're looking for performance upgrades, FI is definitely the way to go, but if you want to stay NA or just don't have the cash atm, intake, exhaust & test pipe are the best bolt-on performance upgrades you can do.

Better buying an OEM hardtop versus a replica hardtop POS.

Tires and coilovers are the only 2 mods that will make a noticeable difference for under 2k. I wouldn't bother with intake or exhaust unless you're just looking for sound Cuz you could spend 3-4k on the best intake and exhaust setup and a tune and still only net ~10whp. So what I'm trying to get at is: if you want more power, save for boost. If it's not urgent, then get coils and tires rn and save for boost next.

These conversations are always fun. Id either go suspension, lightweight wheels, tires, and alignment OR save another 5k and go boost. Trust me, you its gon cost a lot more than 4k once youre all said and done. But whatever you decide to do first, youre gonna have to do the other next haha

You can bust through 2k pretty fast.
Tires are the best performance upgrade to start with - I'm a big fan of the Michelin PSS... $700 right there with mount and balance - then any maintenance items. Plugs, fluids, brakes... upgrade where you can (ss brake lines etc). How are your wheels - curbed? Repair them...
How are your floor mats? Nasty and worn? Replace them... $200 for those... if your steering wheel is worn out - fix or replace it - another couple hundred...
I'd spend the money keeping her young.

Thanks for all the responses everyone! Just did all the 90k maintance so she will be sound for a while. And instead of blowing the money on upgrades that won't really help me significantly I've decided to just save for a Kraftwerks kit!

+1 for coilovers/suspension and tires for 2k
if you want significantly more power forced induction is the most economical way

I only spent $1700 for 10 [used] hp, but I've been sippin on' that JDM juice
