Welcome to the site mate Most of the things you're looking at doing are pretty easy and relatively inexpensive to get done. I think you're only going to have trouble sourcing the bodykit.

Hey man

Remap - Get all the SA boys to make a trip worthwhile for Auzvectra, and you're looking at $600 for a pretty good improvement in hp, torque and economy. (actually, do you do the z22se auz?)

Exhaust - Custom made is the easy way. Probably at least $1200 for a good stainless setup

Springs/Brakes - Grab a set of Eibach pros for around 200-300 at the Eibach Aus store, or pm Greg (gslrallysport) for a springs and shocks solution.

BodyKit - Wait for a blue moon ie an Astra with a body kit getting wrecked. (check ebay often as well; they appear there a few times a year)

(actually, do you do the z22se auz?)

i am unsure how do i check?
im fair certain i do cause i got the 2.2ltr engine.

quick question.
I have a pod filter lieing around, i have seen some people cut holes in there stock air filter box and place the pod in there. Does this work, or should i invest in another filter?

wat are people talking about when they say 'derescrict' the air filter or something like that?
thnx for the info!

Suspension: $250 for eibach springs, $500 for shocks, $300 for rear sway bar. + labor for installation if you can't do it yourself. = ultimate budget suspension setup without going for coilovers

Exhaust: 2.25 inch cat back should be about $400

Your engine is a z22se. 2.2L ecotec motor.

A pod won't do anything other than lots of noise. No gain in performance.
I have one on in the colder months of the year.

to derestrict your airbox. open it up and remove the trumpety looking thing in the bottom half of the airbox. leave the one on the top half in.

i think simmy still has her dominator bar for sale, not a sri-t bar, but it looks much better in my opinion.
plus it seems you both have the same colour cars, so you wont need to paint it.
she currently wants $300 for it, a sri-t bar will cost the same, if not more.
