Hmm I'll keep the 175+sh in mind but right now I don't have much to spend. We are saving for our wedding so not much will happen in the next few months.
I would grab the struts as soon as you can. I paid almost 500 for new aftermarket struts and springs. Just dont tell her your lowering it, going turbo, or not letting her drive it after a few months..... Went well with my ex, but then again it wasnt long after I got the car that she became an ex. Hhhmmm maybe it was just a coincidence.

If I can't get them before he gets rid of them, do you think springs are necessary or just struts should be fine?
Oh and our driveway isn't very lowering friendly, it would be destroyed soon after haha. Factory height is fine for now.
Also, do any of you know if the headliner is easy to take out and recover? Its sagging right above the drivers/passengers heads and is quite annoying when it keeps hitting your hair haha.
the headliner is really easy to take out just take out the visors the little light in the center and the headliner just clips right off their gonna be little clips around youll see them... everything on this car is easy... if you need any help with info just let me know and if i dont know ill find out
Sweet, after replacing the speakers and finding out that the doors, center dash, and the panel behind the back seat all came off with very little work, I figured the headliner would be similar. Thanks!
Hey guys, will an intake/exhaust give this little 1.6 any more power? With the AC on it has HORRIBLE acceleration. Seafoam/plugs didn't help much at all...
In addition to what I just asked, when it gets really hot out (Arizona ftl) the AC gets kinda humid. It was refilled with refrigerant recently so I don't think thats it (unless theres a leak).

2inch exhaust, a WAI from EBAY and some headers work great with this car. Also, advance the timing to 15 degrees. This will pick up like 10whp. Oh and a full tune up before doing anyhing to it!
Exactly what he said. If you really want an improvement with the ac on go for a UR pulley. Not the easiest thing to find but if you can it was the second best thing I did. urethane mounts are also a great pick me up for most cars. The header was the best to me. Really lets it breathe alot better.
Also hit up the ga16de forum for alot of info about the engine.

The exhaust and WAI I'll add to the list, is it any different than a CAI? Same thing right? I read how to adjust the timing, but I've never had to mess with the timing of an engine before. Is it really that easy or should I have a shop do it real quick? I know the guy who runs the shop here, he'll probably give me a good deal.
Also, what do you consider a full tune up? All the fluids, filters, plugs were replaced. The only thing I have left are the wires/cap/rotor. Anything I'm missing?

I'll look into the headers also. Ok, I read that the UR Pulley = Unorthodox Racing Pulley. Is it the same size as the factory one, just lighter? I see that they are a pain to get a hold of but I'll try if it makes that big of a difference.
Oh and for the 2" exhaust, do you recommend I buy a whole exhaust? On my truck I bought the muffler I preferred and had a shop do all the pipe work. Will a 2" exhaust make it sound like a mosquito? lol
When you say it sounds nice i'm looking for fairly close to stock, nothing obnoxious, etc. My truck sounds like a beast but we don't want that on the little Nissan haha, but we also don't want it to sound like a giant mosquito while accellerating.
