Rep Power: 0 i was shooting for more like a looker and still able to catch up to my friends.. this is what i have in mind.. in that order
Engine stuff wise
Turbo Timer
Turbo Controller
Boost gauge?
a nighthawk black pearl paint job(it'll remind me of my civic)
Intake
Exhaust
JWT ECU
that's all i have in mind, i don't need it mind blowing
Stereo would be a simple replacement of all the stock speakers with some nice Image dynamic chameleons and a Rockford Fosgate RFX9300 MP3 player
rims.. prolly stock..
i still need to leave 2-3k worth of money incase something breaks down... yep..
