progress springs
possibly some cheap racing seats
try to get another 15 inch type R in my trunk
custom enclosure me and some buds can do
flipdown TV


any other ideas would be great and this money is burning a hole in my wallet

Seats are a bad idea, thats one area where you want to spend the 800$+ for recaros/sparcos/bride/etc.. I wouldn't bother with springs personally as in a year you'll have to either replace your shocks or buy coilovers, might as well save the money. The audio and visual stuff I have no idea on as I'm not into that kind of stuff. If you want performance you could go front and/or rear strut bar, tie bar, sway bar and perches, fuel rail, brake pads and/or rotors, short shifter along with the Kartboy linkage bushings (if you drive a manual), etc..

maybe ported IM or TB if you take it off and send it to a shop near you. If you purchase such things elsewhere the price will most likely exceed your 200

IM and TB are significantly more than 200$, try like 350$ and 300$ respectively. I would suggest replacing that crappy ebay strut bar with a real one, currently RRM and RMR make the best ones.

Listen to this man. He knows things.

Personally, nothing you're considering is all that interesting. I had an in-dash tv and PS2 and all that good stuff, but it wasn't really worth the cost. Avoid springs, you'll need new shocks in a year or less. Cheapest seats I can think of would be like Tenzo, and those are pretty crappy, and still like 600 a set.

I'd stick the money away and forget about it for a while and get something more significant down the road. The turbo fund has to start somewhere.
