EDIT: Bahaha you are in europe, subtract 500$ worth of upgrades for shipping. Looks like you aren't getting that upgraded clutch after all.
who are you telling
And this is just a if you could start all over again with your first DSM what would you buy now.
A $2500 Certificate of Deposit at my bank and $500 to spend in Amsterdam.
Totally off-topic but, holy crap, bud has a green chiclet
I thought the same
With 3 grand. I would sell the car and add that 3 grand to get an evo
^ that's a fail list.In no particular order -
FMIC - 400$ Punishment, VSRF
Exhaust - 500$ Something cheap and large
Injectors - 650cc 250$ Good for your budget
2G manifold good for now its a decent piece at this stage
Walbro 190 - 60$ keep the stocker FPR
Evo 3 16G rebuilt - 500$ Justin although he might differ on the price a little
Install kit - piece it together for 100$, the prepacked kits cost way too much and aren't necessary in the least
o2 elbow - 50$
Intake, filter - 100$ Don't pay absurd money for some dejon powderflute and Greddy filter or whatever they have these days
1G bov - Peanuts
ECUflash with SD (Tactrix Cable, Ceddymods, OMNI 4 Bar MAP, GM IAC) - 350$
Boost gauge - 50$
Wideband - 150$ Innovate
Shifter bushings - 25$
Clutch - 500$ get all the replacement crap as well, stocker flywheel is just fine for now with your budget
Probably forgot one or two things, but these are the big'uns. Or you could easily blow a shitload of money on 4 of these items, your choice. If you haven't done the basic maintenance this list is nothing like it should be, so consider that.

First and foremost the owner of said twenty year old car should address maintenance items such as t-belt, tensioners, water pump, thermostat, any and all rubber hoses that have never been replaced. At this point in time the twenty year old rack and pinion and suspension bushings should probably be replaced too. Same with motor mounts.
After that is done the first few items I would do is intake, exhaust/dp, boost, oil pressure, and wideband gauges followed by ecmtuning/dsmlink. Then I would get a bigger fmic and bigger injectors.
Thats a recipe for a nice reliable fun car that has some added pep to it.
