$1500 question

Post by Flashpoint2 »

Ok. If one were to have 1500 to spend on parts, just exactly what parts should they be? I know that's a loaded question, but think of it specifically pertaining to my car. :froggie_red: Aside from being lowered, and having cross-drilled rotors, it's basically a stock 4-banger. And I'll probably have to get struts somewhere along the line, so take that into consideration.

It's not a lot of money, so I need to make the best use of it. any suggestions?

I say Koni struts, H&R springs (or GC`s), Whiteline rear swaybar.
SRD front crossmember, all bushings from SRD

yeah if its looks your after a kit would be a nice way to go. Dont want to paint just grab a CF hood. otherwise if its performance your after an engine swap would be the way to go. :p

Why don't you get the ZX2 struts, srd control arm bushings, I think ur car could use a wing of some sort and maby some other suspension upgrades like strut bars, rear tie bar or crossmember.

If I could find a BP-t and someone to swap it for 1500, I'd probably do that, but that's not gonna happen. I prefer a sleeper, so I'm not going for a kit. I was thinking more along the lines of maybe just having a little fun with this engine. Like maybe different cams, or something..
maybe a superchip.. ?

*sigh* Honestly, that's probably a better idea. Only thing is, it's not cash, $1500 on a store card. Lol and it's not even on Ontario. But I guess I'm just gonna nevermind any of it for now.
