What do you think of my plan?
I forsee this job taking me 3 years to complete.
1. Tsunami T2001 Front, Kaminari Sides, Kaminari Rear, Kaminari Wing with CF insert, Kaminari Carbon Fiber Ram Air hood
2. K20a2, with a full internal job done, cam shafts, lightened flywheel, clutch, etc pushing at least 14lbs of boost
3. Turbo for new engine
4. Venom Nitrous setup
5. Paint the car that new 350Z blue color and have trim pieces done the same color
Do you all think this sounds good? I figure that the pricing will be around $2,000 for the kit, $15,000 for the engine work, $3,500 for the paint job.
All told it will cost me about $20,000 after all of this is done. Then I will have my dream car.

Rep Power: 413 If I wanted to buy a car that I wouldn't have to mod then I would have gotten a 350Z. That's one of the reasons I got rid of the Trans AM. I wanted a car I could work on. You all don't understand. This car is my hobby.
It's not so much the goal but the process to getting to that goal.

Rep Power: 0 why the hell are you all here if you aren't here to learn hoew to mod your car. I bought a 200x civic and i refuse to do anything mre to my car. I want to role bone stock.
If you buy a civic you are going to spend the cost of the car with bolt-ons suspension, rims, tires, kit, and light, etc.
the point to these cars is the challenge. So sell you car and get a faster one, but in the mean time... sometimes it's better not to speak!
go for it FlyriceRacer02!

Rep Power: 419 Sounds good. Although get an LSD for the RSX Type-S too.
Also, don't get nitrous. Just get a boost controller and tune the car to high and low boost.
Everything else sounds killer. Maybe also a CF trunk? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 364 I personally think the Kaminari Ram Air hood looks like crap. If I buy a cf hood this summer, I'm going to buy a carbon fiber scoop and put it on my regular white hood. Then bondo it in, and have the outside of it painted.
Everything else is great assuming you're willing to drop that much money into your Civic. I wouldn't run nitrous oxide on that engine though. I'd be too afraid of messing it up. If you do get a cf hood though, maybe spray the blue onto the hood and have that weird blue cf effect goin? I like the way that looks.

sounds retarded to me... 15,000 for engine work??? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] sorry thats just funny to me.
in three years our cars will be old and outdated.....and the 8th gens will be the hot ****. also, there might be tighter body kits then.
IMO its a waste of money, but since its your hobby, do whatever makes you happy!
