Hey Pseudo.
Pretty much all of this has to be done by myself. I'm not limited though, I work as a boat mechanic part time during semesters and have access to all their tools/lifts/etc.
I want the car to be street legal, a good auto x with good acceleration in the straightaway, so I would like to get 1/4 mile times down.
My budget is pretty slim and spread out over time since I'm a college student (ie, whenever I have two or three hundred leftover at a time from a tution payment). But, There is always savings, and the project doesn't have to be done soon, but I think bolt on (CAI, headers, etc.) would be best for now and wait to start working with porting, etc. later.
Thanks for any tips.
