I love reading yalls build threads so i figured jd start my own.
1997 GT with touring tech springs and shocks,off road h-pipe,flow master mufflers ,CAI ,and a custom sun roof.Bought it for $3000 which isnt too bad even though this car is beat.

You won't be that impressed with those seats. I drove a friend's new edge GT with the same seats, and you may as well be on a slip and slide.

Upgrade the rear LCAs, UCA bushings, and shocks. And tires, get the stickiest you can afford. Or another set of wheels and buy a set of used road race tires. Whatever fits in the class you run, make sure mods are legal.

Getting some good stuff!

The rear brace is like tits on a bull. I ran one for a little while on a 89. J&M makes great stuff, and pricing is good too.

FTR is good stuff too!

Thanks again guys.Unfortunately I won't be able to install anything anytime soon because I just had ACL surgery a couple days ago.So I'll just be collecting parts for awhile.
