why don't you figure out what to get next after you actually have the car in your possession? certain things may need more attention than you'd first think. my boy found this new M3 in LA that he wanted to buy. he was all hyped up he spent $4k on mods before he got it. and when he did get it, he didn't even use half of what he had bought coz either they were the wrong part or the car needed something else and he didn't have the money so had to sell a lot of the parts.

jus some food for though.

in that case, if it hasn't been lowered yet, i'd look into new suspension. :)

then all's left is boost. :D find yourself a nice fat turbo. or nitrous, but personally i prefer boost over the bottle. i'd look into some nice 18"s too.

I like the T3/T04e hybrids. You don't really need to build up internals until you go above 7ish psi.

The salvage title could be a bad thing. More so if you plan on dumping money into it. If you get into an accident you may lose alot of money. You may want to check with your insurance company on coverage for a salvage vehicle.
