$870...need help spending it :) **NEW SPENT $300 Already
 
ok ok earlier i posted $57....well that was before i talked to my mom shes giving me 800 plus my 70 O_O!!! ok welli was thinkning intake and exhuast im a LX civic 2002 wanted a typhoon SR with a magnaflow cat....but i need the intake to ship by saturday so the mechanic dosent have to buy OEM air box. So i want to order my intake atleast that by tommorow and recieve by fri or sat. as some of you may know i was in a accident and its all fixed just needed to replace intake and i wanted to get exhuast to sound great together ...so AEM SR and magnaflow sounds good but....i wanted typhoon SR with magnaflow exhuast. lets keep in mind performance , but i love the sound thats the rice in me :(


**UPDATE** ok so my car was hurt in a bad accident it was fixed and im getting it back this weekend :) so to make up for the accident i bought my baby A REVO SS short Shifter, AEM SRI , Type R Grill, (TY Diskreet) Gauge Pod Cluster, (Also diskreet TY) Led Automotive Dash kit and (TY GEARBOX DIY)Bulbs for the Gauges. ill put up pics ASAP!

Further plans are to buy Full Lip Kit, Gun metal Rims, Magnaflow Cat, and do the trunk DIY by Diskreet.

Getting an exhaust on an LX means you have to get the rest of the set up from the EX.

dacivic 03-29-2006 08:58 PM

the money i get over my summer job is for the k20a and i wont be able to swap until im done withschool im done with 1 yr now one more then im done. reason being i dont wanna throw mileage on it....not for school. ill take the bus and train the other 2 years for another automotive school

xRiCeBoYx 03-29-2006 09:55 PM

^^^gotcha..

http://jspecautosports.com/catalog_p...spx?prod_id=13

kinda pricey, but almost everything you need, and you'll be happier with the numbers you pull..

you'd just need to spend a little on parts you need to complete the swap and labor (which will be the bitch, unless you know someone that knows what the hell they're doin..)

Cptn. Slow 03-29-2006 10:13 PM

But the money some place safe so that when the K20 project goes over budget you'll have that 870

ramcosca 03-29-2006 10:19 PM

:O
K20A for $6000? I might as well sell my car and buy a DC5-R direct from Japan, damit!

PM's... now THAT made sense, lol!

You said you want some pull, but you went out got a grill and exhaust :_disgust:

To each their own, but I've always been of the school of thought where you save your money and buy bigger mods, rather than a few smaller ones.

Because really, exhaust and intake will only add nominal hp gains (definatly not worth the price tag) unless used in conjunction with other items. (ie. turbo). If you want looks as opposed to speed, then a nice grill or lip are key ;)

I'm personally not a fan of loud exhausts - you can buy aftermarket ones that are nice, they do the same thing, but aren't loud... however, an intake does add a very nice sound for cheap, to our otherwise quite engine.

My vote, is to decide what you want - more speed or more looks, then save for that!

My .02 cents

ok ok lol not pull but more fun short shifter is def fun so is hearing urself with a magnaflow and intake and throw on a lip kit and you have a fun clean ride thats what i was aiming for im sry for using pull i forgot my car has a d17, unless u have a turbo u feel anything so yeah i think i bought just about everything for now after im done with these simple mods im going to work my asss off during the usmmer and by december k20 shouold be done, i got all the accesories all i need is the engine :)

MajinB 03-30-2006 07:59 PM

get some coilovers with the rest of it.

boxcarracer 03-30-2006 08:01 PM

i was hoping to get rims and coilovers at the same time but now its so tempting when u have 575 left :) i guess exhaust and coilovers and im done for now till i find the right rims
