ok so i got my tax refund....
 

it's $5,500, and i think im gonna spend most of it on my 03 z.

my car is basically stock, all i got is a k&n drop in filter and i'm thinking of going turbo. how much does a whole kit usually cost including installation?

ive seen specials for around $7k installed.

Wheels. Get wheels first and a drop. $5,500 is not even close to play around with F/I IMO. I think to do it safely with the cost of parts, labor, and unforseen events I would get about $10k first before I start playing with the blow dryers.

very true.

there's more to it then just slapping some snails on it....

not only is it 10k but you have to be prepared to completely replace your engine, or your transmission, etc. you ned a reserve cause lots of people blow up thier engines and it ain't cheap.

^ You can buy his sister. She is for sale in the Texas for sales forum :icon17:

very true ^


she was prom queen, in a beauty pagent, cooks good pho, drives an rsx-s......

You got me at pho. :icon39:

Wheels, coilovers, rear camber arms, rear toe bolts, front upper camber arms, sways and end links and diff. thats what im working towards.

what do you plan on doing with your car? events wise? drift, track?

cause if not then do what you like cosmetically?!

10K? i guess turbo's off the list.

i just got tanabe GF210's. then i'll just get an intake, exhaust, and headers. as for the wheels, im keeping my tracks rims and just lower it.

btw i got a sunroof installed. i know some people hate sunroofs on Zs, but i got too used to having one after driving an integra for 4 years. once in a while i get props from other z drivers and they ask where i got it done.

$10K is reasonable as a safety net. You can find ST and TT kits new/used ranging from $5500k-$10K. Say you go with the lower number. Then comes the install and tuning. That's going to set you back at least a $1k+. All said and done if you are lucky at this point without any issues then you'll start to notice other OEM parts on your car not being able to keep up with the turbo such as the clutch, exhaust, wheels/tires,..etc. Since you are going with the bare bones setup don't expect any piggy back EMS to save you when your car acts up.

BTW post pics of your sunroof please. :icon38:

ExxonMobil stock.

Na go sell drugs. The profit margin is unbelievable :icon9:

^ colombian drug lord.

Edit; BTW you only have theories and conjectures and no hard evidence :) If I were a CDL then you can be my drug mule.
