Most people here believe that the STB is good for leaning on when you are working under the hood. I would have to agree personally. The spoon STB is the nicest looking arm rest IMO

Gears = $600
Install kit = $150
Speedo Calibrator = $100
Install = $500+

You'll find that this does not add to $750.


I'd go with an exhaust if I had $750 to burn (and had a stock car).

i'd probably lower the car first. you can either get some koni yellows, or some springs, or both. or you could go with a full coilover, just save up a little more money.

That is too funny! My father-in-law had that same Nova. Same color too! Believe it or not, your's is in better shape! He sold his for $75.
