$1200
 

okay, i got a $2000 loan for coilovers and lambo doors, the lambo doors keep getting messed up.. company won't send, wait 3-4 months, etc. so i give up.. i have $1200 left.. any opinions on what to use it for? :)

turbo parts man. you can come pretty close to getting all the parts you need.

go n/a man. For 1200 you can get a KMS p&p, titanium retainers and racing valve springs. Could add up to 40% hp if you tune it right. That would be about the same as the standard SF turbo kit for a lot cheaper.

or that ^^^

go all motor!!!!!!!!! please i wanna see results

Save up for K series swap.

If your show.....Get a system and some TV's....

if you are go get a turbo kit. :tup:

power windows, power doorlocks, alarm, bodymatched doorhandles trunktrim sideviewmirrors. Not really defining or major mods, but they do make the car more appealing. they shouldn't cost more than $400 all together.

1200's NOT enough for a turbo kit, and if you find someone trying to sell a kit for $1200 (used or not), get ready to lose your money :-bs:

use the 1200 to pay back the loan

no said anything about a kit. make it yourself. peice it together yourself. do some research yourself and you might find out the truth instead of hearsay. i helped a friend boost 2 civic. under $800 in parts and installed ourselves. with our fuel system, we're looking at some extra money. got it? get it? good. :2pimp:

i'm thinking internals, that way when i boost, i can push it harder.. i'm waiting for the Dezod kit before i turbo. i'm spending $400 on a good radar detector, how i drive.. i have to have it. so with the other $800 how much out of the KMS p&p, titanium retainers and racing valve springs can i get? what about torque converter? what, as far as internals can i upgrade for $800 or so.. plus or minus a little, and what out of those parts will make the biggest difference in accleration? i'm almost 100% sure going for internals though..

you're crazy if you spend that much on a radar detector!! i spent 140 and i have NEVER gotten a ticket. use the other 260 on something else

put it in the bank

who needs money in the bank when you have a Civic? lol.

which radar do you have? can u give a link please

It's called luck and just because you have radar detector doesn't mean you aint going to get caught. But a 400 dollar one like valentine one is going to be much better and give you a higher percentage chance of not getting caught in speed traps than any other 100-200 dollar range detectors. Don't even try to compare. Also for Cocky, I hope you are getting a loan from someone you know interest free because it'll be a waste to get one from the bank with interest.

I think you best bet is to find a local shop to do all your stuff....find out who's a the mechanic to see. And pay him a visit




Know what you just made me think of something, if I get A's in all my classes this semester. I can get 2,000 from my job for tuition assistance. Its a supermarket...they have pretty good benefits

yup i wasn't bashing on what anyone said. I was just giving a warning

I'm saying, if you ever see a turbo kit $1200, you're going to get scammed. A member on the boards jumped to quick on a $1000 SF turbo offer, and his money = :flush: Sent the money, but he never got the turbo; basically he was robbed.

like i said, as far as turbo.. i'm waiting on Dezod. i just wanna see what i can get done as far as internals.. if i can't get much, i'll do something else.

put it this way.........C2i0v0i1C has JE pistons, custom built turbo, e-manage, and labor..........he has $10,000,

Whenever you do motor builds and turbo, u are gonna pay for tuning and labor.

Put it back towards the loan.

get some hookers

i think i'll maybe get lambos from Saminari.. if not.. probably leather seats or an indash dvd.. intake.. i duno.. lol. no putting it towards the loan though.. that's what about $900 of my check is going towards friday. can't spend it all on paying the bank back.

you should be able to get PnP job done with 800.

yeah valentines hella work my friend had one and he said it saved his ass numerous times

bought the lambo kit. $802. i kept it close. i'll just start saving for the Dezod kit, maybe a PnP before that, i duno. :)

can you give a link for the radar detector? Im planning on a Passport 8500, which seems to be REALLY nice, and retails for $300.

$1200
 

um i did not write that. if it were me i would have said...... save some cash any buy yourself a turbo kit. whoever the f@#$ wrote that shit on my screen name,watch out :mad: :mad: :mad: :argue:

i'm going for a blend really.. show+performance. i add one thing for show, then another for performance.. etc. :)
