Ok I don't have alot of money but these are the parts I was thinking of buying next week to get me started tell me what you think.

These parts are all from mantapart.com
lightweight pulley kit, big bore throttle body, sport camshaft & lifters, 30mm front sway bar kit, 22mm rear sway bar kit, upper strut tower brace, rear tower brace.

These parts are from other places
kyb gas-a-just shocks, kyb gr-2 struts, eibach prokit spring set, ate premiumone slotted rotor, goodridge g-stop brake line kit, upgraded flywheel and clutch, and a dual cat-back exhaust. Oh and a hand made cai

This is all for my 91 beretta gt. So what do you guys think as starters. I wouldn't be able to do anything after this for prolly 6 to 8 months. If theres anything you wouldn't do first or would do instead please let me no. Thanx

well, for those parts you want here's what I would recommend.

Lightweight/underdrive pulley - http://www.fastfwdperformance.com/

Larger front swaybar - Your car already has a 30mm front sway bar stock.

Front upper and lower braces - Source one from the junkyard, or get them from http://www.mrzperformance.com

Rear strut tower brace and throttlebody, also from MRZ.

I would not buy anything from Mantapart.  I've been saying that for about 10 years now.  They are known for taking peoples money and then not delivering parts for years or never.

I think they even had a reputation for that before Berettas were being made.

If there is a part you cannot find a supplier for ask and someone will probably have a better answer.  Mantapart makes very few if any items themselves.  Most of the work is farmed out and then they add on to make some more money.

I will add that i did have a good experience from Mantapart.  My eibach springs that i purchased through them were at a good price (at the time) and they came in a reasonable time.

I believe that HeavyWoody is also very happy with his bilstien struts and shocks.

Well there is one thing I am looking for. Whatever material they lay over the dash is starting to fold up and seems to be coming off. Should I just get a dash from a junk yard or is there someone that sells whatever material it is that goes over the dash?

And one other thing. I want to get rid of some of the cluster under the hood. I know I can remove all the air conditioning unit is there any other parts or hoses and what not that can be removed?

Thanx for the help guys.
