I say take a small portion of that spare money and get the underhood shifter bushings, and the bushings for the shifter base inside the car. Not something I would have typically boughten but I had a few bucks laying around and Hughes told me to grab some because I wasn't sure where to spend. Made my shifter feel considerably stiffer and less sloppy. Definately worth the pocket change I spent on them.
And I have a MBC if you want one, it's from Elite, never used. I'd sell it to ya for like 10 bux

If your car needs an alignment, get that before anything else before you destroy your tires (not to mention safety reasons). After that, new plugs/wires, a K&N air filter, then a MBC.

Thx, thats more like it. You guys rock. Brandon i will take that MBC. I can get an alignment for like $25 but i have to wait for my friends boss to leave. I think that i will do the shifter bushings though my car started acting up a couple of days ago, it wouldn't go into reverse, then i looked at the shifter base and it was wobbling, you could see the shitty rubber bushings squishing under pressure.
Oh, i have a complete tune-up done on the car.
thx again

Shifter bushings are a great idea, don't forget to also replace the rubbers ones on the shift levers where the cables connect to the tranny. I had all the bushings on my car and it made a world of difference!

www.speed-source.net for the bushings that go on the tranny levers and www.machv.com for the Symbrowski kit that goes on the shifter base. I am sure if you go on eBay you could find similar products for cheaper, but these are both the brands I used and the fitment and quality was top-notch. The Symbrowski kit also includes a tube that nobody else does and it also helped tighen up the shifter so i say its worth the extra money.

I got mine off ebay. Both for the ones where they meet the tranny, and for the ones under the shifter. The ones under the shifter made the most difference to me. Made it just feel solid.
