What should i Do With the Money?


1996 V6 Beater
I have About $300 to play with and wanted to do a lil somthing to my daily driver since my other car is just about done.

Im getting ready to have the windows tinted and i got a new door for the pass side that got hit.
Im getting a Stock 99+ at back from a buddie for cheap so im going to have to fab hangers for the rear and my own h pipe from the looks of it.then the $300 i wanted to spend to make it run a lil better and look better so i was thinking some wheel spacers to offset the 05 gt wheels and give it that wider stance.A nice Set of headlights,I was also thinking a nice coil pack with some nice wires and NGK Plugs Possibly even a Ebay cold air,What would be Cheap But good Ignition setup for it?also thinking about lowering it what is a nice rideing cheap spring. I was looking at some Tenso R progressive rates for 130 shipped but dont know if there anygood.

Been out of the V6 loop for a while so just wondering your guys opinion and thoughts on what you would do to help guide my decision.

300 wont get you far enough to matter hp wise. but could do some nice suspension if you do it yourself.

Lol you guys are to much .All my money is tied up in my 98 5.4 car.Im just about done with it so i want somthing for the Beater Car now i only paid 900 for it and although its clean im not looking for Power by no means i just figured i have a Almost complete dual exhaust for it that i got for Next to nothing and it needs some things like a tune up and headlights but i was thinking of lowering it im not trying to make it a AutoCross car so Cheap springs are ideal i just dont want to get a cheap spring and have it bouncing down the road.Mabye some rear wheel spacers so the wheels fit flush mabye Windows will be tinted shortly after x-mas i hope when i install the new door.
And i dont want to change the gears or anything i like my gas mileage lol.

I was thinking C springs but i dont know if ill have that cash.

I have 250 Ish right now
Headlights are like 70 shipped
I need both side view mirrors 60 shipped
And i think im getting the 1inch or 1-1/4 rear wheel spacers there $60-$70 shipped.
As far as the exhaust im getting a 99+ complete cat back for $20 of a Friend and im going to try and use that stock Gt h pipe back half to join the y ipe and the h pipe to make it work as cheap as possible.

So for right now im going to have 50 left And i am leaning twards Ngk Plugs New Wires And a Oil change etc.

then im thinking about cuttin a half a coil off the stock springs or possibly cutting the stock gt springs i have and puttin them in. I only want to lower it a little bit. so idk what to do just yet.Mabye ill just have to get a little more together and get the C springs.

Any one sell i good aftermarket coil pack?

300 dollars, better just save some more money, but suspensio wise, i went with tockico struts and shocks, and i like em, went with h&r springs and i love that setup, made the car look nasty and handles great....xcal2 will definitely be worth the money, id get gears in the rear with a posi, dont go ford tlock for the 7.5 i blew mine already and wears down way to fast....get like a detroit tru trac, there amazing...gears, auto 410's / 5spd 373's....if you want to know more just the small things that added up with me let me know, cause i was able to take down gt's left and right.....
