stereo, hardtop.

yes I got coils, yes I got wheels, yes I got an exhaust.

I went back to stock wheels & now I can't GIVE the damn things away..., my 2nd exhaust only cost $100.00, lost money selling the 1st one, & getting the coils caused more problems than the supposed benefits.

stock radio blows

if your car is outside all the time & a daily driver - a hardtop sure is nice when colder weather comes....


I sold my 2006 s2000 for 13k it had under 50k miles on it. Think about that. 8k's worth of bling on a 13k or less car? I wouldn't do it now.

Do things to it you can enjoy with out driving it. Hardtop, lowering spring, and stereo would be first. Going turbo or supercharger can bring more problems than 8 grand can cover, examples like tires, clutch, rear end failures if pushed to hard.

Give the stock wheels away? Lemme see a pic and stuff...

And you probably did trade in for 13k on your new car and not selling it outright? I'll be honest, I paid 17k for mine and it's an 05 and had 18k miles on it. I think it was a fair deal.

I hope to keep this one for a while to be honest, I hardly ever keep a car over 3 years, usually around 2 years is my cut off limit. I do want to play around with it though.

This is an initial cost 8K thing... Maintenance afterwards is a given and not calculated into it... lol
