Yeah most of this is obvious. It's still fun to talk about, get people's estimates, and maybe pick up a few small things I didn't know along the way.

In terms of economical....I don't think I'd want to spend more than about 6k on the car. Replacing the exhaust, rims/tires, intake, possibly headers, and the seats is do-able for that price so long as I do my own work. That'd net me some decent weight loss as well as a little extra power and sound. The wheels and exhaust would look pretty good too.
$6k just on weight savings or also including the engine mods you want to do?
