Some things are harder then others, of course, and also depends on having the tools to do the job. but if you LOVE cars and your 4g, you can look at the tools as an investment that will pay you dividends for the rest of your car-tinkering career - every time you do a job at home (like putting in new brake pads which we did for Livi yesterday) you get some of that money back - and you gain the experience and wrench time that is invaluable. you can take car of your car, family and friends, and it's a pretty good feeling. Also, if you ever need a second job or change in career, you'll have a head start on your application. all kinds of benefits!

anyway, here is a list of mods that if I could do over, I would do them in this order. this tries to take into account everything - $, skill, time, tools, etc. so from a totally stock 4g this is what I would recommend as far as improving both the looks/style & performance of the car:
  1. tint
  2. cold air / short ram intake (CAI / SRI)
  3. lowering springs + paint the stock hubs a different color
  4. de-badge to your taste (cheap)
  5. exhaust system (cat-back or axle back) + performance cat or cat delete
  6. HIDs for headlights and/or fogs OR new halo projectors (or totally custom)
  7. fog light adapter kit (allows use of fogs w/out head lights on)
  8. rims & tires (this will be your first big outlay, i.e. - > $1000)
  9. paint calipers a color to accent the wheel wells (cheap)
  10. engine mounts / roll stops
  11. DRL delete (cheap)
  12. Throttle body by-pass (cheap)
  13. eyelids (if you want them)
  14. header/headers
  15. LED tail-lights
  16. stereo system improved (if you want this - will add weight...)
  17. fuel controller (AEM F/IC 6) + harness
  18. wideband air to fuel ratio gauge + flush mounted inside however you choose
  19. new tune using AEM F/IC or your choice of fuel controllers - lean out mix
  20. spoiler of some kind (if you want this)
  21. engine torque dampener / stiffy (by ingalls)
  22. rear sway bar
  23. short shifter + aluminum shifter base bushings + knob of your choice
  24. tower strut bar + under brace
  25. improved spark plugs
  26. intake spacers
  27. hood props (if you want)
  28. dress up engine as much as you want (colored hoses, oil cap, etc.)

when you are SERIOUS about performance & can afford, do these (after all above):
  1. clutch + LSD, installed at the same time to save ~$500 - $600
  2. front sway bar + all remaining bushing upgrades
  3. coilovers - then fine tune to your preference on height/grip/etc.
  4. 50 - 100 shot of nitrous + all needed additional parts for this
  5. oil pressure gauge + oil catch can
  6. drilled/slotted rotors (if you want them)
  7. big brake kit (if you want this)
  8. stainless steel brake lines
  9. pistons, rods, bearings, gaskets, springs, retainers, valves, head bolts/studs
  10. port and polish all intake parts as appropriate + 3 angle valve job
  11. bore and build out the engine completely - including crank off-set + engine balance job when put back together.
  12. upgrade nitrous shot to 150 - 200
    OR
  13. go forced induction w/ turbo or supercharger
  14. boost/vacuum gauge
  15. turbo will need a turbo manifold + blow off valve
  16. SC will need long tube headers (hopefully you have them from above) + bypass valve at least, if not a blow off valve
  17. cooling unit of some kind - turbo should use front mounted intercooler, high output blowers can also use FMI
  18. methanol injection cooling to supplement a FI profile or FMI.
  19. oil cooling unit
  20. retuned at the dyno shop
  21. data acquisition system of some kind - i.e. DashDAQ
  22. MAY NEED new injectors + fuel pump upgrade (depends on how much boost)

may refine the list a bit in the future, but more or less this is what I would recommend to someone wanting to start modding from a stock 4g eclipse.
