Some good stocks or mutual funds. With the market down in the last week, it's a good buying opportunity. In two years you will have $12k for mods and to keep a little nest egg for emergencies/retirement.

Volk GT-S (3300 w/ Tires)
Tein Basic ( 800 )
HKS Exhaust = ( 1200 )
Hi-Flow cats = (450)

$250 left to align your new rims and suspension and some money left over.

FTW

6g's isn't enough for a turbo. (if you want it done right).

slap on some rims and call it a day. coilovers aren't needed. most of them squeak, makes your ride a lil bouncy and too many moving parts.

a simple sping/shock/ F&R camber kit will due just fine. No hassle of adjusting and re-adjusting. With the coils, and daily driving, the ride height will always go off.

good wheels? can't go wrong with any wheels coming from Japan. After all, you did buy a Japanese car.

I mean, how would a ford mustang look if they installed some Volks TE-37 on? It would look like shlt haha. So for the G35, stick with Volks, Work, etc. etc.

No American Racing, or "forgeyr" crap.

is the car paid for? if not, i'd put the 6gs and put it towards early pay off. if it is, i'd go with a pro-charger or vortex.

Seriously, if you have that much cash at one time...I'd go forced induction. You can always get the other things like rims/tires/drop later, and they take a much shorter amount of time to save up for. You can go single turbo, with utec and upgraded fuel system, for $6400 installed.

I would STRONGLY advise against going FI because you don't have nearly enough funds to do it right and to back it up if something goes wrong (trust me with only 6k, something WILL go wrong). If it's your DD, I wouldn't even think twice about it. Something goes bad and your car will be stuck at the shop and that cost $$$ which you don't have since you dropped it all on the install already.

Anyway, if I had 6k, this is what I would do (in this order):
1) basics
2) wheels + f/r camber arms
3) exhaust
4) kit
5) all the other small things like spacer, intake, yada yada

Why???

I'm with the other guy invest or if the car isn't paid off put that down on the loan. Can someone please tell my why you would put 6000 into your car to drive it around the city. I must be old or something cause I could take that kind of money and make me more money or buy things that I want for my home. Do you have a home or a rental?

I understand your 21 and I see the G coupes are getting younger drivers since the cost for a older one is much less now these days. But come on 6 grand I hope if makes you feel awsome driving it around casue you'll never see that money again.

you have 6k already...why not just wait and keep saving to 9500 or whatever its gonna cost to get the FI done right...i know i could get it all done locally for 10k with them ripping apart the block and doing it all right... youre already 2/3 the way to that goal why spend 6k now then have to save 9500 later... IMO it would be easiest to get the big thing outta the way first then once you do that its just aesthetics...wheels, tires, springs, kit...if thats what your long term goal is why push it to the side and wait longerwhen your almost there?

just my .02
