Welcome aboard. You will be in heaven the next few days as you look at all of these guys thirdgens. You will want to win the lotto and buy everything. Look around and almost every one of your ?'s can be answered.
Tas is right about open air element. Go for the $17 super bang for your buck mod. Plus it helps you learn about your car so you can plan your future mods

Good Luck

Hey Man welcome to the board. Welcome to the expensive world of modding. LoL. First things I would start out with would be the gears/posi, maybe and open elemement on the side and a full exaust system....wow, sounds like I am ordering food. LoL. Hey, a lot of people like my mod evaluation site that I made. Its helps first time 305 TBI guys get a start. Has part numbers, pictures and tech tips and installtion instructions of all the different stuff I have done to my car. Its a great start. I would seriously visit it. Hope it helps.
