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 shit...


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?

nema84 04-01-2004 07:08 PM

i have a suggestion. you can buy a buddy club 1 kit for 600.

nema84 04-01-2004 07:09 PM

i might have one layin around if you are interested.

Lambo Doors.

I'd pay off my car...and sell it. Then I would go out and buy a RSX Type-S A-Spec with the cash.

I agree with this guy! :rockon:

88AccordDX 04-01-2004 07:27 PM

Supercharge my Accord :rofl:

Yukonart 04-01-2004 07:36 PM

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 ass, 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?

:D

tripledoublegs 04-01-2004 07:56 PM

I would say just to forget about the Wilwood brakes and get a rear disc conversion from an Si.

Kloverz 04-01-2004 08:00 PM

how about do ur interior, new rims, or just save it up for a turbo, for ur swap i mean

J-spec-SiR2 04-01-2004 08:20 PM

SCREW THE RSX TYPE S IT IS SOOOO OVERATED.... I BEAT ONE FROM 0 TO 120 IN MY 98 CIVIC COUPE WITH A JSPEC B16 SWAP WHEN ALL I HAD WAS SHORT RAM AND EXHAUST...RSX TYPE S-LOW

OniChi 04-01-2004 08:23 PM

Let's see. . . and your car, in stock form, would have done WHAT to the Type-S?

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. :hgrin:

PacSmalls 04-01-2004 08:53 PM

Thanks! The screens were around $350 each, and the custom fabrication for the visors was about $500 or so. Totally worth it if you want to show your car.

My new ice is a bit different, though. :D

But then, so is the car. :rofl:

PacSmalls 04-01-2004 09:19 PM

did you get a new car? that, trunk looks clean as hell i like that its not all gaudy and it looks like its completely functional still..quality

Yukonart 04-01-2004 09:21 PM

Indeed. . . . full fiberglass box weighs less than a pound, and no video in the new ride. Way too busy taming the 300 ponies. :D
