SC400 mods on a college budget?
Hey guys, I just bought myself a 1992 SC400 and I really love the way it handles and drives, but I would love to make it even better. Problem is, I do not have a massive budget as I am a college student working part time for minimum wage, so any mods I do will have to be price conscious. The previous owner did a full catback exhaust minus two borla resonators the car sounds amazing, but I'd like an even deeper growl.

The car has a stock air intake, and I'm debating whether or not its worth putting in a k&n one. Also debating long tube headers, but again I don't know if it's worth the money for the added performance. please let me know.The car is also about an inch higher than I would like, but I don't know if there's a reasonable priced solution to that. The steering is good, but could also be a bit tighter and have more feel to it. I'd also like to put in some LEDs if any of you know a good way to go about getting those. Finally, I'm sure there's a lot of ways that I haven't even thought about that could improve the car. These are the ones I'm most interested in knowing. Since I've bought the car all I've done to it is gotten a conventional high mileage oil change, and thrown on a set of 235 falken outside ziex ze 912 tires in the front and BF Goodrich g-force tAs 235s in the rear.
