Default What to do next please help

Building it for street, and I have 3500 to spend so what should I do next? I already have the wheels covered slapped some 17 Falken Hanabis on her so now what? Coilovers? Clutch and flywheel? Brakes? Rear End? Keep in mind she will be turbo in the future.

Oh boy... here's another "help me spend my money thread".

I guess I'll say what I always say. Save the bucks and learn to drive. If you haven't competed in any auto-x events, you should.

If you have to ask yourself and us what to buy, it just means that the S is already good. If you had a civic the answer would be easy since it needs so much to reach the level of the S.

If you are deadset on going turbo, buy an EMS or some form of enginemanagement and some books about engine dynamics so you'll be educated about boosting. BTW, it's easy to loose track of how much boost your system will support and you'll go over the edge and either blow your stuff up or burn the wick at both ends and use up the motor quickly. You really have to ask yourself how long you intend to keep the car and if you can afford to blow the engine.

If you're going to buy for looks, I have nothing to contribute.

serious? You have no idea? buy coilovers and and brakes... No point in buying engine stuff if your gonna boost it... EMS would be a waste at this point only to have to spend money tuning it twice when you don't even want to stay NA for very long... JMO...

I can pm you my address and you can send that $3500 to me. I will figure out something.

J/k

Spend it on high performance driving course. If I have this kind of money, I know I would.
