Rally Armor mudflaps.
K&N Filter
ALK kit
Bilstein or KYB (GR2) struts.
Rear Sway bar.
Front & Rear Skid plates.
Hawk Pads
Gravel tires from Falken or abc company.

Just things that come to mind.

what is the point of wasting money on buying a car you dont even know what you want to do with it?

If you have garage space, or any covered space that can be occupied for a long time, then you should start building a track/rally-x/auto-x/pick your poison, specific car!!

no..it had been sitting for over a year, and the rear tires were both frozen up...we got one to break free, but the other one wouldnt, so we drove it 100yds down the street with 1 rear wheel locked up...not spinning at all
