start with the exhaust, headers and a good cat back sysyem and a set of high flow cats if it's in your budget, then add a set of underdrive pulley's, a set of gears for the rear, suspension parts, the list goes on!!

Opinions vary
but your basic starter mods are
- Exhaust, any or all components
- Intake (to TB), Throttle Body, Intake Manifold
- Underdrive Pullies
- Bumped Timing
- Subframe connectors
- Gears
- Shifter
in no particular order....and the list goes on...

I have a mac x-pipe, flowmaster cat back, and bbk headers, install was about three hours with air impact gun. noticable diffrence.
Before getting into T.B.'s or intake manifolds (likely 500$) I would check out ebay for a simple wet nitrous kit.(ie: a kit with two sileniods one for nos and one for fuel so you dont need bigger injectors (likely 500$)to make more power) Bolt on 100hp with no side effects, best bang for your buck.

Out of curiosity....
What would YOU like to do with/get out of the car?
Do you want to run low 13s w/o serious cash outlay? Just a tire squealer/cruiser that sounds killer?
Autocrosser?
Once I get a response i'll tell ya what I did w/ my 89 Notchback.
