my car already has a front strut bar and i dont believe they make a short throw shift kit for it, no one likes protege's so finding parts for them is always difficult.

Buy $200 dollars in explosives. That car is scarred for life if it has neon ground-effects. Put it out of it's misery.

gottacatchup,

Spend it on an advanced drivers course, with your own car obviously.
Best money you'll ever spend :fadein:

Sell it, get a used AWD DSM, put the extra money into some mods, meet up with RC45, bet him $200 and go home with $400.

For $200 you can get a 'Pioneer' sticker (size XXL) for your back window

But seriously, I think you should save up and get something more....hmmmm...'serious'. Sell that neon for example...that's an extra few bucks already.

C'mon, this is serios guys, he has worked real hard to save up this $200. Let's give him some great supprot.

Look, but a Spoiler!! It would go great with the neons. What colour are they by the way. You'll need that downforce at top speeds... What does it get up to... 60/70/80 mp/hr. Relax, i'm just mucking around... Just thought i would jump on board while everyone else was giving you crap!!

Quite simply.. INVEST IN STOCKS!!!
