Well i'm here and iraq saving the money and made a deal with the wife, since i'm here doing what i'm doing, her and i agreed that i could spend $4000 dollars on anything on the car. i have been dreaming of all kinds of things that i would want to do but i just wanna know what you guys would do. Also i just wanted to go N/A. i know supercharging would be the best but i think its going to cost more than $4000. Please help me out because i know for a fact that when i only have about 1 week left here, i'm going to start ordering everything so when i get home all i gotta do is the installations. Any opinions???


This is what I had in mind.

T1R 70mm Single Outlet With Testpipe = $1200
AEM Cold Air Intake = $250
Gears And Installation = $1000
Apexi VFAC = $250
Powercoat My AP1's Black w/Red Lip = $300
Carbon Fiber Hood (OEM) = $500
Carbon Fiber Trunk = $500

Thats About $4000 There....What do you guys think?

 

Wheels and tires-$2500.00
Gears+install etc...-$1000.00
Take your wife for anight out=$500.00

 

amuse header, exhaust, and some kind of intake, oem lip

 

 

if you wanna keep the stock wheels then 4k will go a long way
gears $1200
exhaust 800-1000 for a good system.
race seat... this is the best mod i did for my car, puts you in control of the car.
suspension. the sky is the limit, from springs for a few $100 to full race setup for thousands.
if you want to get wheels then get the wheels and then gears and exhaust (well thats what i would do at least)

WFIW, i started out with the intention of spending $5000 on my car, and i just looked at my mod list and im a little past that. the most important thing is to DO YOUR HOMEWORK and find out what you want before you buy something. i have made that mistake on a few items and ended up "doing it right the 2nd time" which hurt. run lots of searches and you will learn alot of incidental stuff along the way too. make a pro and con list of every mod (there is a con to every mod that i can think of)

 

track days at all of the coolest tracks.

Willow Springs, Buttonwillow, Laguna Seca, Infineon, Mid-Ohio, Road Atlanta, (I know there are more....help me out)

Tires for track days.

Hotel rooms for track days.

Trailer for car for track days.

New helmet for track days.

Harness for track days.

In-car camera to record track days for posterity.

The list goes on...

 

but make it 2800 for wheels and install and 2 bills on a night out

 

get a used SC for about 3000-3400. install yourself.

 

Well I just got Wheels/Tires and Coil-Overs for a little over $4K so I vote for that.

You get bling, weight savings and handling all in the same shot.
