Chaluska is an unknown quantity at this point
id say get the powerplant out of the way, if you want retarted power, and good gas mileage, LS1/3/6 is the only way to go.. 300 - 400 whp Stock.. throw on a few bolt ons and you can bump up the HP pretty quickly.. a full mount and header kit is like $2500, the engine and tranny is about 3500. add on another 3000 in misc (clutch, accessories, wiring, exhaust etc etc) now that your power plant is done you can start with suspension..

if you want to be a *snip fan-boii and slam your car to the ground, then pick up some quality name brand coilovers, get some front and rear adjustable control arms, front tension rods, rear toe arms, and camber plates.. going that low fucks up the suspension angles so bad you will need as much adjustability as possible...

if you want an lowered car, you can minimize the amount of arms needed, and just swap out the bushings with a poly kit.. toss on some Koni's or KYB's, and a QUALITY lowering spring.. eibach, RSR..

power and suspension are done, interior, and exterior are all thats left..

toss in some new carpet, freshen up the seats with something a little newer, if you are going for a track slut, then get something that will hug you in the seat, if its a DD/cruiser, get something comfy like some S14 seats...

as far as the exterior, go for what you like.. if you want a snowplow bodykit, then go for it, if you want a "stockish" style kit, go with a Kouki 180sx aero kit.

there is always more stuff i havent mentioned.... Cage... swaybars.. wheels.... brakes...

but it will get you started to plan out what you want..
