What to buy with some money

I'm looking to spend like $150 mabey on something performance for my car. I'm looking for a little more accel, cause i dont think it has enough off the line. What do you guys recommend?
I already got an intake and a catback.
Also how much do you think i can get for my '92 240sx with 86k miles and perfect body?
i'm looking to buy another one thats stick only because i know some one who wants to buy it. But if i cant find a better car then i'm not going to sell. Any suggestions. Please dont post save up your money and buy a turbo or sumthing. I'm looking for just something little to add a little power.
U guys know anywhere to get some nice fender flares. I looked around but i didn't see to many.
Thanks
-Joe

150 bucks isn't too much.

If i were you I'd just get some nice spark plugs, spark plug wires, z32 fuel filter and maybe some high quality oils (engine, tranny)

For your car I'd guess maybe 2 grand? 80 k miles is pretty low. I bet you'd get a little more if it was a coupe and not a hatch.

a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it : ) Find someone willing to pay 3g's, then thats what its worth.

$150?
spark plugs, brake pads, sylvania head lights (preformance in the dark) , crank pulleys, cam sprockets, head gasket, blah blah blah etc...
pick one.

persoanlly, i'd go with wat Ken suggested earlier. I'd just change my fluids n clean up the engine a lil. and i guess i'd change the sparks too.
