I've got a little extra $ (400.00) that is separate from my turbo build and I'm not sure what to buy. I know you guys will have some good input on this, here's my current mod list....

Performance

  • MSD 2-Step
  • AEM Eugo
  • vacuum/ Boost gauge
  • SCT XF3
  • Steeda Tri-Ax
  • BBK Cai
  • O/R H
  • Flowmaster's
  • Dual Termi Fuel Pumps

Suspension

  • BBK Springs

Exterior

  • 03/04 Termi Front Bumper
  • 03/04 Termi Hood
  • DDM Tuning HID's
  • Sequential Tail Lights
  • Polished Bumper Lettering
  • Black FR500's 18x9 and 18x10
  • Saleen Spoiler

Interior
  • Cobra Radar Detector
  • Kenwood DDX516
  • 600 Watt Amp / 12" Subwoofer
  • Chili's Pot Holder Mod

Turbo Build (On hold)

  • 304SS Custom Turbo Hotside
  • Turbosmart "Ultra-Gate38" 38mm External Wastegate
  • Tial 50mm BOV
  • Hallman Manual Boost Controller
  • CX Racing Front Mount Intercooler
  • Miscellaneous Cold Side Piping
  • 42# Green Top Fuel Injectors
  • HPX Slot Style MAF
  • VMP 05+ MAF Plug n Play Harness
  • On3 Performance 70mm Turbocharger

Already have money aside for a k member so that will upgrade the front suspension to coilovers so that's out of the question and I'm buying a tb and plenum off of corral hopefully tomorrow.

Either a tune or a clutch. I didn't see a clutch on there and I don't know how much power you'll be pushing but it's likely the stocker isn't going to hold up to the abuse.

Send some my way for long tubes :)

HIDs
Mach spoiler
Misc things.

Or just throw it into your turbo build for a tune

Have HID's, and when you say mach spoiler I'm assuming you mean cobra chin spoiler but I REFUSE to spend $225 on a pos piece of plastic.

Have some money set aside for a tune so that's non-applicable and to be honest I don't know what clutch is in my car right now but from the way it feels I would say stock so a clutch could be a good option.

Electric Water Pump is an option or 15's for the back with slicks

Don't see much talk on these forums about the water pump and if you know where I can get a set of slicks (rims + tires) for the rear for 400 bucks please post the link!

$400 huh........?

Sounds like the correct amount to hit up The Cats Brakes Upgrade to stop that puppy BEFORE you go tubo :yes If you have not yet done your brakes, stop everything and break ranks with the rest of the crowd and get a grip on yourself!

Jazzer just made pun of you :)

I'm already past that "spending more than you plan on" point, I'm roughly 3 grand deep into the build and I have ALL the pieces BESIDES the k member which will be coming soon.

I didn't see sub-frame connectors in there. That should be a top priority.

I would look into a clutch if yours is stock. Also some suspension mods. LCA's, UCA's, shocks, and struts. Let me know if I can help with any of these. Good luck, sounds like it is going to be a monster!:D

Stock clutch, if it aint broke don't fix it :eek: Just saw that post where sharkbait ran an 11.9 on stock suspension, thanks man I'm looking for some strong numbers!

Keeping the stock 3.55's because I put a ton of highway miles on my car and I enjoy the mpg.

Actually my dad always told me that you're not paying them for sex, you're paying them to leave and not talk to you when it's done:cool:

I can't usually carry on a conversation anyway, because she is always laughing her head off.

... not sure what to make of that
