As the clock struck midnight we made out for a good 20 minutes then went back to drinking and overall drunkeness.....About 3am as I'm about to pass out for the night this girl came into my bunk bed (I was at a hostel) and started making out with me again...nipples are all over the place..yadayada.......Wake up the next morning (actually afternoon), look in the mirror and I have large amount of dried blood on my neck and my entire neck just below my ear was black/blue/purple......
Turns out this girl bit me so bad that when I returned back to the states 3 days later I went to my doctor, was prescribed an antibiotic and have a small scar to this day!


true story

I'd go FI obviously. With your budget I'd have said a GReddy turbo kit would be a great choice before they raised the price on it. I came in well under $6k after installation and tuning. Of course my situation is a lot different, I paid nothing for installation and only paid ~$4k for the kit brand new. The problem I see with spending a ton on NA mods is it will net you little gain in the end. You could spend $6k on NA mods and have a car that barely feels faster than stock. I feel the same way about suspension mods unless you're doing it for cosmetic reasons. You can spend a ton there too, but you'll be hard pressed to improve significantly on the handling of the stock setup.
Say it isnt so, Stock FTW

Why would purchasing a car that's inferior in every way to an s2k aside from its badge be preferable to modding your s2k?
Simple cause the S is depreciating and with the mods its worth even less. So spend 6k on a depreciating item and than depreciate it further by pumping money into it. We all know a stock vehicle brings more coin than a modded one. :
