I have 5k, you spend it...

[Dreadknought]

Ok so I'm at a loss on how I want to spend my bonus buying new toys for the car. I originally wanted a KB Mammoth but I will not realistically be able to save up the extra 2k to purchase it.

So. My goals for the car... I want speed. I want good handleing(read: not the same as grip but can include that; I was really thinking GR40SS kit). My interior feels a little bland. Thinkin head unit or seats. My car is fat. It needs to be lighter. It is my daily driver, 50+ miles a day. I'm looking for a good balance of performance and some interior. On a scale of interest from one to ten I'd like to be able too, Drag:5 Auto X-Road course:8 Drift:10 But it MUST be practical.

My Current mods as follows...
Go: C&L CAI
BBK TB
Steeda CMDPs
Comp Cams 127300s+springs+retainers
LTs, O/R H, Magnapaks
Exedy LW Flywheel+Mach 500 Clutch
Stock drivetrain
Turn: Eibach Sportlines
BBR LCAs
Forged 20"s
Interior: MGW
Silver Horse Racing cup bezel
Drake Shifter Bezel
Misc: Battery relo
Wire tuck



Like I said 5k. Give me your best ideas and see what you guys come up with...

Steve's blower system is awesome!!!!

 

[HellsBells]

I say hold on to it and just wait until you can afford a blower. It will be so much more satisfying to you. you'll make great power with an extra $1000 or so. Consider other kits too, like the centrifugal blowers. I think spending money on all the other stuff just won't have that "holy crap" effect that he blower will.

 

[SteveP]

mine would work great for what he wants. Mine has every single aftermarket option you can do the vortech kits and then some.

On the suspension I wouldn't spend that for the Griggs setup. Give Sam Strano a call and he can fix you up with a good setup for your needs without spending that kind of money. The Pioneer AVIC-X920BT is a nice head unit that looks factory when installed.
Save up some more cash and get one of the used FI systems that pop up in the classifieds, there are some really good deals sometimes.

Should I PM you my paypal address?

 

[Jarrod@latemodelresto]

Sell me back my car and go buy a 5.0. lol

 

[dsmith658]

On3 Turbo with some money left over

 

[JoshK]

My ON3 kit with all the odds and ends that add up as we know ended up at about 4.5k

 

[Dreadknought]

Lol I don't have the money on me. I get it sometime this month and I'm trying to make plans. And Jarrod if I thought I could get approved for a loan on the new 5.0 you would have had your car back a while ago.

Also the reason that I am not waiting and saving what I have for the blower is that I wouldn't be able to save the money up until my next deployment, in which case its a mute point. Total build then. Keep the ideas coming guys.

Same for my kit. Upgraded turbo and buying random tools needed still under $4500. Lots of fun!

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

I have ideas, but its not for your car.

 

[Dreadknought]

Lol I'm sure you do.

 

[BruceH]

If you were local I'd sell you my whipple with all the goodies but the fuel pumps for that, I could even include sct mako files of my tunes for your tuner to use as a base tune. I need a reason to finish my 11.5 cr e85 motor. I don't want to ship something worth that much money though.

Any chance you will be passing through Washington state anytime soon?

 

[Dreadknought]

Fraid not Bruce. I'm on the wrong side of the country lol. Not a bad idea though.
