suspension is going to a bit costly, but i would start on that first. just get basic tein or god speed... then rims...

bside, your ka could already break traction so i dont think you want to do any motor work... just save up for a sr or ca swap...(prefer sr)

but good luck on your car....

good rims & tires, and brakes.

unless the shocks are blown. leave the suspension alone. learn how the car feels with an oem setup. then modify it.

thats a given you have to have good rubber to lay the power on the pavement. im gonna go with some eibach springs and some kyb shocks for now(i would wait for CO, but suspension is kinda weak . since the funds are kinda low, save up and get some coil overs this summer.
