general ? from newbie


was wondering what would be best opions for a 1990 stock 5spd. would like to wake it up and kind of have a sleeper, not looking for drag strip car, just something to race around town in. Thought bout 3.73 gears but other than that not sure. Don't want to get too crazy and dump tons of $ into it, but willing to spend some to make it even sweeter than it is.

definitely get the gears. that'll "wake it up" a good bit.

you don't need to have a "badass" car to take it to the strip. it's more fun there and you can't get speeding tickets.

and, you have one in your home town!!
