I've got $6000 to spend on my baby. I was thinking $2/3k for 19"black wheels(still deciding on which brand) but thats going to be my biggest cost. I have $3000 left to spend. $1500 shipped(Intense Motorsports.com) Hks Hi power Ti exhaust, $400 motordyne iso thermal spacer and iso thermal upgrade with aramid gasket and CCV,$375 shipped crawford cast upper plenum , $250 shipped Tanabe/ Tein lowering springs ( any recommendations for what is best for 19" wheels) which leaves me slightly around $1000 left depending on exact cost of wheels. Any final choices keeping me N/A for under $1000 or styling (interior/exterior) for under $1000

P.S. Will the crawford plenum be a copout to the motordyne spacer or can i run both those bolt-ons?

If anyone is curious, I'm 21 done with college and work full time. No one else to take care of ... well except the blonde.

 

Not bumping, I didnt want to make OP tooooo long.

This just in.. For $1000/$1500 NOS kit used practically/sparingly so to not kill my engine/ AND audio upgrades ie. speakers/amp.

Or Lambo doors.

 

damn wish i had 6g's to spend on my car!! can i borrow some haha sike..i would SC THAT G BABY YEA!!!

 

i would get full coil overs, not just springs. Also, you might want to consider a camber kit, although i don't know if thats needed in your case

 

If you have that much to spend at once, get FI!

 

yeah!! go coil overs!!! no springs... GO BIG OR GO HOME!!! haha

 

$3k to spend after the wheels/tires? What brands are you considering?

Anyway, HKS should not set you back that much. It's going for ~$1250-1300 shipped now.

Wheels/Tires
Coilovers/Camber Kit(s)
Exhaust
Cosmetics

That would be my order of priority...

 

For your second post I say no to the nos kit and esp. to the lambo doors

 

just drop it on the stock rims and upgrade to wider tires. finish it off with some form of fi. thats what i would do anyway make it a sweet *** sleeper

 

I would go FI personally once you have that baby in ur car....it puts you up there with the best G's on this board

 

gas....

 

i say FI FTW

 

I know i know i have been considering the SC whether it be Vortech or Stillen. If i go BIG power im going Turbo app. I feel the SC will be a great upgrade but for the car i plan on creating in the long run, I want it to be one of few. I was recently looking at the APS Extreme Turbo Running arond $9500, im about to dig up anything i can on it. Dynos, pros/cos ie bang for buck, reliability,practicality,potential power. I WILL eventually opt FI and go with a TT setup. I want to do it right, prep/build the motor properly and from what i have read getting the turbo kit without a proper build can lead to severe motor damage.

Thanks for all the input guys. I know im a baby on these boards but i spend time each day reading...learning... and D'ing It Myself when i have a few spare hours. I have learned to install shift *****, headlight changes/removal,installed led's all over my interior/trunk/license plate, better washing/waxing techniques and learned to look much deeper and do research research research before buying a product

My biggest concern is the wheels. Im so afraid of buying a poorly made wheel or from a company without a reputable product.
