Getting it tuned by a good tuner + good EMS is almost half of 6k... 10-12k is more like it just for a good FI set up.

That's why it's a challenging question. To build a go-able car with cool factor in $6000 budget. Since you guys already have experience in modding the car, you should be well aware of what beneficed the car most. So go for it, let your imagine fly!

By the way, tinting windows counts too!

To be honest though. Vortech Tuner + UTEC + 1 stop colder + catch can + tune + gauges. Thats probably right at 6k.

6000 bucks? A Volk Racing set-up with Toyos in Canada with 500 bucks left over for gas is what I'd do.
1. Volk Racing Wheels with Tires $5500.
2. Ultra Premium Gasoline 1.50/ L = 5 fill ups.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm surprised people are still spending crazy amounts of money with these gas prices
