Your Christmas list
 

So you get to pick 500$, 1500$ and 5000$ in parts for Christmas to add to your STOCK car; what do you get?

Let me start:

500$: try to make it work for an intake and Unichip.
additional 1000$: light wheels, either k4s or rpf1, on stock tires.. keep it sliding.
Additional 3500$: I'm not much for FI, so would likely build full exhaust, then pulley set.

Now this thread is not intended to determine greatest bang for the buck mods, because 5K goes a fairly long way to a simple FI setup and that would be it without a doubt... this is about your preferences, for your car, if it was still stock...

My Christmas list includes. Head unit, new wheels, and for the larger ammount, coilovers & brakes.

Air Air Air Air & More Air

Going to spend under $1500.
List so far:
HID's
Vicious LED front turn signal housing
Vicious LED reverse light or Valenti reverse light (not sure which I like more yet)
Front LED DRL strip instead of fog lights
Buddy Club tails

Total to about $1300

Well since it's Xmas and we can dream

Volk TE37sl 18x9.5" squared street set
RPF1 17x9" squared track/spare set
Turbo or SC

Truth is it will happen just gotta get balls to spend that much without shivering over it cause that's all an easy 12 grand, lol :D

RB V2 kit and a $5000 gift certificate for a body shop to smooth out the rivets, paint, body modifications, and install.

BBS RF 504 in 17x7.5.

Brown leather upholstery.

TRD exhaust.

Great replies so far, cool to see all the variety in preferences.. some show, some go, some a bit of both..

:w00t:

Scarlett Johansson.

Open flash tune, buddy club header, and vis ams trunk

Well. My actual list that im getting is powdercoated wheels and tires and Grimmspeed hood struts. Also getting a Motiv Concepts MCB for the bday (also in Dec). I think itll be around 1000 total, but Im paying for only the wheels n tires. My GF is getting me the other two:thumbup:

For $500, I'll replace my Cusco LCA to SPL LCA.
For $1500, I'll pick up a few supporting mods such as oil cooler, larger radiator w/ fans, and etc.
For $5000, I'll go forced induction. I realize this may not be enough..., but it is the closest to what I currently want/planning.

$500 - Catback
$1500 - JDL Headers + Tune
$5000 - Over/Front Pipe, Intake System, black Enkei RPF1s, Michellin Pilot SSs for road/track, new set of Primacy HPs for drifting, New Tune, perrin pulley, Oil cooler, new brakes and rotors, GT86 headlights, TOMs tail lights, some other cosmectic nonsense like Toyota badges.

Not the most original list, but I want to keep the car NA, mostly for reliabilty reasons. :D

$500 - Spings and LW Pulley
+ $1000 - 3" Perrin Catback
+ $3000 - Work Meister S1 3P

500- P&L front pipe, clear sides, rexpeed wide mirrors

1500- headers P&L or FA20Club and open flash or unichip.

5000-headers tune full STI kit.

Oh how I wish this was real.. Aside from a spoiler mines totally stock, waiting for after winter!

Gosh...I'd probably still be debating even if I had the money. There are so many choices and perdy things to put in/on it! It's cool seeing everyone else's ideas even if some make my choices harder. (If people were a possibility you gotta go Jessica alba) haha

Give all of it to Typhoon Hayan victims.

My mods can wait. People starving and dying of dysentry cannot.

Give them car parts??

but in all seriousness.. two good articles

By your logic, you'll get your mods...never, unfortunately.

Funny I made this list last night:
Headers for FR-S
Shift knob for FR-S - racseng 86 model http://ft86speedfactory.com/raceseng...b-mt-1103.html
Lowering springs for FR-S (TRD from toyota or Eibach Pro-Kit for FR-S / BRZ)
Supercharger for FR-S

Hopefully not true - I certainly do not wish something of that magnitude hits again for a very long time.

$500 - OpenFlash tablet
$1500 - Tomei 60R & Front Pipe
$5000 - Not really sure ... I haven't decided whether to go turbo or keep NA and reduce weight as much as possible.

$500-Oil cooler
$1500-all brakes/suspension
$5000-a DD

OR just spend 7k on hookers

Just buy gas, rent motel rooms, buy food ..... and drive it ......till the money ran out .....:)

I've got a wedding coming up so majority of my funds are going to that, but hopefully I can squeeze out $500 for my mistress this Xmas...thinking of installing the Greddy SP Elite axleback exhaust on her for now.

The driveways labs diffuser. Please, someone get it for me. I want it so bad and I've done less crack than last year so I feel like I deserve it.

I asked santa for:

Berk dual tip muffler delete $270
Beatsonic shark fin $104
Clear side markers $70
50% tint all around $160

Should look pretty solid..also asked for some Enkei Raijin rims but there a little steep so I'll be getting the fronts for my birthday (3 days before xmas) and will buy the rears on my own come Spring.


My parents would laugh hysterically if I asked for FI..the real cost of that would be more than 5k IMO

doesn't this really screw with a lot of other things? what brake rotors are supported by that and what wheels do you want that are offered only in 114.3 fitment?

just curious because that was going to be my first mod originally-- all my other cars had been 5x114.3, so changing it up seemed odd, but the more i looked, anything i really wanted was already offered in 5x100 fitment....

It doesn't really screw with anything at all. I plan on getting the hubs, then having my brake rotors redrilled to 5x114.3.

I want to do 5x114.3 because wheels are more abundant in a larger variety of sizes, such as TC105's in 17x9.5, and Regamasters are almost exclusively 5x114.3, especially the GTR sizes.

Also, eventually I can do an STI brembo upgrade as well without buying 5x100 rotors.
