hmm debt first...but if you want to spend $$ on your car id do the following;
Full service...are you sure EVERYTHING is working right? No point having a car with only half the stuff working, then worry about mods. For example, if your shocks are leaking, then you might aswell upgrade them and lower your car at the same time.

I had 5-6 k to spnd on a Dev5 kit but i owed my olds some cash from a rather large speeding fine.....so i paid them in full and settled for a Dev2.
and yes important to spend the money on broken things first. I have decided to stop trying to make a long stroke 4L motor go fast...its not going to happen. Im going to drop and 3.2L BMW M3 motor in it with the standard 6 speed box. That will fix it.  :

Although I must add that I intend to get a full exhaust system for the noise and slight fuel consumption benefits.

Another vote for debts. It's just a burden that feels good to get rid of, and later on you will be able to mod your car guilt free

well then perhaps do both...for now just do the exhaust and with the rest pay back your parents.
