500 bucks burning
 
hey all

so i got $500 to burn
what should i get....

i have GT Spec; lower tie bar, strut tower bar, subframe brace, rear trailing arms...RacingBeat MSP sway bars, AWR endlinks f/r...Tockico HP struts,Tein S-Tech springs...SSR Competition 15x6.5, Dunlop FM901
motor, brakes and all else...bone stock

i don't "stop-light drag"(or drag race period)
mostly drive in the canyons around my house
i want to boost (no more than a bar) w/turbo,e-manage & profec E-01 in the future, so shortblock will be adressed on a differnt turbo specific motor

any suggestions

screw performance...talk to Katskinz about spending that $500...

leather looks GOOD in a protege

either use the money to pay down the car or put it towards your turbo fund so it won't look so intimidating.

LEADfoot April-14th-2006 01:16 PM

ooh katskinz me likey...the chrome lip on the SSRs isn't quite enough so i'll save
up for 20s and really show what i'm about...

well i own the car (paid for)
but putting towards the turbo is a good idea

can i chrome the turbo

Roddimus Prime April-14th-2006 01:42 PM

you can jet coat it and give yourself some extra power (efficiency).

LEADfoot April-16th-2006 10:04 PM

...great

but seriously, i thought maybe a clutch and flywheel(fidanza) combo
or AWR motor mounts

something like that
or is that the kind of stuff that makes little real-world difference

Roddimus Prime April-16th-2006 10:23 PM

if you want a clutch/wheel combo let me know. I'm getting ready to do another big SPEC group buy.

You could get an e-ram electric supercharger and still have 200 dollars left to spend on led squirters, diamond plate floor mats and underseat neons.

you can send $1 to Happy Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace. Don't delay! Eternal happiness is just a dollar away!

Roddimus Prime April-17th-2006 03:45 PM

hahaha!

LEADfoot April-17th-2006 06:07 PM

i'll send $2
...i didn't list it but i already have the diamond tread floormatts,9" tach on the dash and
i'm also saving up to do the 5sp to auto swap 'cause the REAL dragracers all use
automatics my uncles got a nova with an automatic and its fast, real fast

Roddimus: what are the SPEC flywheels...steel,alu, weight yada yada... some people say the fidanza is
too light can that even be true, what kind of money we looking at here


hey...
...maybe i'll change the neon under my car from blue to green, like green money or envy
for all u suckas

Roddimus Prime April-17th-2006 08:07 PM

SPEC is all aluminum and I believe it's 9lbs. Too light? nah. It's quick on the rev though!.

LEADfoot April-18th-2006 08:29 AM

ok
cool
i'll PM you about the group-buy
