ok so i have an extra 400 that i can't seem to find the best way to spend it..
It is obviously going into my car.


I am very close to finishing my 3sgte swap and was thinking on buying a 7th gen short shifter and possibly some other stuff??


Anyone have any ideas? i probably need a boost controller, but if i buy one i want to buy a good one.

i guess i just need some ideas from the folks at home

forge MBC for 36$ is a good investment
a forge diverter valve (like a blow off except recirculates) for 135$

a FMIC setup would be a good investment as well if you don't already have plans for that
jcbass7
i do have plans for fmic but i wanted to wait until i change my front end to the gt4 stuff

and i don't have enough time for a while to do the FMIC

or

springs... unless you already have them in that case sway bars, and if you have those too how bout... tires to handle your increased power, with only 300 maybe just the front two tires

That must be a really expensive dinner. tongue.gif
jcbass7
My Gf read this thread so it looks like i'm taking her out to dinner now haha, so lets say i have 250 left to spend...


^ i just bought a 400$ spec stage two clutch for my swap about a month ago so a stage three makes no sense at the moment
jcbass7
ok so i had to buy a good sauldering iron and a digital multimeter so now its "help me spend 285$"

and that includes me taking a girl out to dinner (cash in my wallet, the 285 is in my bank)




maybe a fuel pressure regulator..

agreed... with added power comes the need for added handling... no one here wants to see a sexy celi bite it.

I don't know your list of suspension mods, but you could get:

1.) sway bars
2.) springs
3.) 3 point front strut tower brace
4.) gt4 rear strut tower brace etc
5.) And more....

i am planning to go straight to Tien Super street coilovers when i sellt he coupe.

I would LOVE to get J-Speed 3 point front and 3 point rear strut tower braces. that would make me a happy camper, but isn't it difficult to locate j-speed braces?

i could always buy some suspension techniques sway bars, those are a nice option for the amount i have to toss around right now
