1988 5 speed

Just bought this thing $500. (Also runs quite well and local import mechanic checked it all out)

When it warms up outside im gonna sand it down and buy a spoiler and get it painted. Ive been trying to find some stuff for this thing but its crazily hard. Anyone know were i can find stuff.
and im gonna buy some rims but for now im gonna sandblast the Tires until i got the money.

If possible im looking to find stuff to get it allot faster. Im newer to car customization. Ive been looking for a Cold Air Intake but cant find one anywere for older than 90's

Any ideas for stuff to do?

The first-generation cars can be fun and pretty deceptive in the Grand Prix du Stoplight.

How much money are you looking to spend, and how fast do you want to go?

Well i prolly would like just over a 10 sec 1/4mi. But morso i want appearance. Nothing stupidly outdone but a Clean look to it. As for money im planing to do this over a bit of time so I dont have a price range really

You'll need a few more spoilers for that kinda time.

I'd start researching engine swaps, look into the ZC engine and boost. :thumbup: 14 sec 1/4 mi might be more realistic unless you wanna go all out dragster.

Although the ZC swap only gives you about 12 hp over stock, you'll have a newer engine which will hold up better to the pressure of a turbo and it's only $500!
