Default Fairly new to this! ive got an 03 ford ranger

2.3l manual 5 speed 2wd. It's the base model very plain. I spun a rod bearing at maybe 117,000 miles and replaced the engine with one that had about 70,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ now! The truck is dinged and scratched everywhere and has stock stealies. It's as plain as it gets...I would like to put an exhaust on it and maybe rims but nothing too crazy. Any cheap and easy performance mods would be awesome I'd love to hear them! Thanks guys!!!

Nice. I have a 69 Mustang that I have been working on for the last 10 years. It has a 302 which will be modded, T-5 5spd, & a 9" rear,
