Here it goes

Alright, so I have been thinking about whether to sell my car, or to completly modify it. And, I am pretty sure I am doing the latter. Assuming everything works out, I have pretty much all the money I will be needing, and I have a shop to do everything in. So I am set, now I just need some advise as to what to get and what not to get. Right now, this is what I am looking at getting:

ASP Underdrive Pulley Kit - $89.95
130 AMP 3G Alternator - $199.00
Cold Air Intake - $139.99
Flowmaster Catback Exhaust - $389.99
10 Piece Stalker Body Kit - $1,895.00
1994-2004 WindGuard (for convertible) - $269.95

Now that is what I know I want to get, and the prices I found. Are those about the right prices it should be at? Also, some stuff that I would like to get, but don't know what brand to get, how much it would cost, etc.

Battery? what brand should I get?
Paint Job - I just want a deep blue, how much would that cost approx
Vaccum Lines
Tires (ah what kind should i get!)
Oil, what is best performance?

It would be helpful if anyone could give me advise and insight into doing this, as I have never modded any of my previous cars, and certainly have never done any of the work myself. I am looking to make a quick car, but still street legal.

Looks good, for exhaust don't get a cat back it keeps the y-pipe and is still super restrictive. Go to an exhaust shop tell them you want true duals with flowmaster super 40's. You will then have real dual exhaust and a custom h-pipe for 375 bucks.

as for paint, what color is your car now?

I hear Royal Purple oil gives good performance...
And I also hear Falken tires have good performance
For a Cold Air Intake though, you don't really have to spend that much, you're just paying for the name. Look for one on eBay, you can get em for 20-40 bucks, everyone says they still work just as good as a $200 one. I have yet to get one myself though so I don't really know.

GreenFaleen · March 28th, 2007, 02:33 PM

Yeah I thought the price was 39 lol. Don't pay over 60 for a CAI

get a Xpipe 140 + GT take offs whether stock or modded mufflers 150 at most + Hanger kit if wanted out the back 25 $ or turn downs 20 $ instead + some time with 4 jack stands = Exhaust system for about 310$ get any cheap intake with a K&N filter....another 50$s....stalker bodykit ? shit man unless u want just looks ok but you can put all your money into a turbo kit or buy a Vortech S trim and get a V6 bracket all for about 1,100$ and whistle at a light....bodykits can't whistle and haul ass

Onemanzu · March 28th, 2007, 03:26 PM

take that X pipe and shove it ... they don't matter either way and most people perfer H's on sixers cuz it gives a better sound...

Also use eBay as much as you can... best bang for you buck... where are y ou getting the kit from i would like to see it i think that would be cool...

Onemanzu · March 28th, 2007, 03:33 PM

yea i just was doin a bit of lookin round and wanna tell you that Mrbodykit.com has some cool kits... so take a look their see if you can find the same thing for cheaper... idk just tryin to watch out for yea... money is a bitch

Hey guys, sorry I didn't get back on till just now. I posted this while I was at school and just got home. I am going to head into a local exhaust shop on Saturday to see what they say and about how much it would cost. The body kit is obviously not exactly in the budget atm. I am just getting ready to move out and get my own place (only 18) so i need some cash. But i am getting a hella tax refund, so i figured why not beef the car up a bit. I just bidded on a CAI that was priced at 19,95, so like 40 something once it is shipped. I figure the rest my money this next week will be spent on the dual exaust. My friend just had his car wrecked into and it was a 3.8 with a supercharger on it. Now he is a really good friend and said he would give it to me for like $400, there has got to be something wrong with that deal, doesnt there?
