If you had 4 grand what would you do... im eventually going to moto swap and turbo hopefully this summer when im back in colorado, but i just came into 4 grand from online gambling so im looking to do more to my car now...no point in buying more bolt ons for the engine because im going to tear the d17 out and moto swap and all that good ****...
here are my ideas i have my car on 2.5" lowering springs but i want the teins ss coilovers...
wilwood big brake rotor kit...for the future when i need more brakes with more whp
kaminari oem carbon fiber hood...nothing better than a kaminari oem hood
i already have a complete g5 kit but im not sure what ill do there so i might just leave it...
i have two subs already but im going to rip out my back seat and have a custom trunk/backseat area built to house 4 JL audio W3 12"
shave handles...a 50lb autoloc kit should be enough right?
and possibly a pair of sparco torrino seats im not sure though
so yall have any suggestions..or what would you guys do?

Rep Power: 282 Yeah, if you're serious about all this, trade-in or sell Civic, and use the cash for down payment on an S.
Otherwise. . . forget the Tein SS. . . get the FLEX.
Sparco Torinos kick ***, and you'll need them once your car handles like a go kart.
Neuspeed or Progress rear sway.
Neuspeed lower front X-brace and upper strut brace
The Wilwood kit would be wise investment
Forget 4-12s my man. . . stick with 2. With the proper box and amp, 2 will do the job of 4 any day of the week.
Leave the body kit, and forget the CF hood. CF's overrated anyway. And if you're going for weight savings, then why bother with a sub box in the first place?

We all need to face it here. . . the K20, in all forms, has MUCH MORE tuning potential than the D17. One of the reasons I went to the EJ257, myself.

My new ice is a bit different, though.
But then, so is the car.
