Just wondering what your first $5,000 in mods would be. I have a stock CS Touring Coupe. Here's what I'm thinking:

Nismo Wheels - $2,000
Tires - $1,000
Nismo exhaust - $1,100
Upgrade Stereo - 1,500
Pop Charger - $150

Well, that's a little over 5 g's but you get the picture.

Lower my loan by $5,000

 

I would want black 18" Volk Racing TE37 MAGs. That would take about $6k with tires, though.

 

nismo header+catback
nismo s-tune suspension+sway bars
best tires

 

Three questions:

1. Which model are you running?
2. Will you be installing these mods yourself or will installation need to be factored into the $5,000?
3. What would you like to improve about your car in order power, handling, looks, or sound system?

 

I'm running an 03 Chrome Silver Coupe, completely stock. I think as far as order goes, performance first, then looks, then stereo. I will have someone do the install for me on the tough stuff, the popcharger by myself.

 

forgot to mention.....my model is the Touring edition

 

Do what I did. Save that 5k, when you have enough:
1) Pay off the car.
2) Greddy TT or Vortech (Great bang for the buck)

 

Suspension, wheels and tires, and if I have money left over, a big brake kit (since I got the Brembo-less Enthusiast)

 

Since performance is important you could either go with a S/C or stay N/A and do intake, plenum, headers, cats, exhaust, cams, ecu, or NOS. The best bang for the buck is NOS of course, but I would go plenum, headers, HF cats and exhaust. Then I would put on some nice wheels and tires. Depending on what you go with for wheels you may want to go with a new y-pipe instead of the new exhaust which would save a few bucks and keep it around $5,000.
