    Default 1 Week to mess with the car....What should I do?

    To the uninitiated, I work like a jamaican. 3 jobs. Every day, up at 6 am, and work roughly till 9 or 10pm. Usually too tired to do little else. Adding salt to the wound, my new job has not paid out yet, because they only pay monthly, and it has now been nearly 6 weeks (between pay periods when I started) ! The other job, I missed a single pay period, so it has been 4 weeks. Nearly 10 weeks without a single paycheck. I've been relying on my business thus far to sustain myself. Anyway, a few days before spring break, both pay out, so I'll for once in my life have both time AND money!

    Anyway, spring break is coming up and for the first time in 7 years, they coincide. I get a whole week off (nearly) without working! Still have to report to the business, but that's what employees are for....Soo

    I want to devote some time to my hoe. Anyway, there are a myriad of projects to tackle, so I'm going to rely on the IA community to help me decide.

    1. Install the holset and header I've been threatening to do.
    My friend made a header for me (well, promised to) and it has just recently been finished. I finally caught a glimpse of it welded and painted, and its purty. Along with the holset, a rear-mounted battery kit will have to go in, as will a skyline intercooler, which will involve changing IC piping and placement of the radiator and a water-meth kit. Then (naturally), a walbro and larger injectors will need to be sourced. If time and budget allow, the nitrous kit will also find its way into the car. All this stuff is here, waiting to go on. I do however need a walbro and some 550cc injectors but the rest is here.

    2. Get some suspension bits. I get tired of my car handling like a barge. So, I decided to allocate a few funds towards suspension this year. I want to do some bilsteins or maybe KYBs, but also new wheels and tires. This is probably the most expensive of all the options this week, as I have almost NONE of the bits here except for an upgraded sway bar in the garage.

    3. Improve the tunes. The last car had a 'semblence of a stereo in it with a 600w amp and some 10" MTX subs. I still have its pieces laying about, but I want to upgrade. Just picked up a sony xplod head unit, but now need amps, subs, door speakers, deck speakers and tweeters. Once again....Money.

    4. Sit on my ass. Yes, the other option that always invades this stuff. Usually when I get home, I'm too tired to do anything else.

    5. Make the computer and electronic suck a little less. If you know me or seen my car, you'll know how bad my wiring is and how much of a wiring nightmare my car is. I'll probably devote a few hours to making it less of a rolling fire hazard.
    My car is factory....



    Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.

    Work on the wiring issue. I would of said suspension, but its better to throw all the stuff on at once, so you'll notice a major improvement, instead of bits and pieces.
