You just won $25k in credit for parts. How will you spend it?

S2k engine and transmission swap, built differential, built axles.

Also, a K-pro to fully run the s2k engine with a full set of Honda codes, and the appropriate harnesses to retain all other BRZ systems (except traction/stability control).

Then, boost it.

Oh, I think I might have spent closer to 40k...

As it turns out, if you have a vendor account, the imaginary $25k magically doubles to $50k. I can't explain it, but you're good to go.

As opposed to doubling to some other number? I say questionable things. You should probably watch out for me. I'm not sure I can be trusted...

Well, if labor is free, then I'm still under budget!

[Anthony]

Labor is for suckas.

I'd sell the 25k worth of credit for 20k cash, and then spend the money on minor body/suspension mods. Then i'd take the rest (probably 10K) and either invest it or just chill knowing that I have 10k in the bank on a rainy day.

That's the middle road to me. I wouldn't do much engine mods since I don't mind if the car's speed. it's not THAT slow.

[Anthony]

The point is to see specifically what mods people would do. You're not allowed to sell the credit, but you don't have to spend it all at once.

Since we are dreaming probably a V8 swap. But probably not enough in the budget

shit id be practical. spend 2k or so on some new headers and a tune then pay it off!

I'd spend 21K on all the TRD stuff including, kit, all chassis stiffeners, braces etc, dampers and springs, all the TRD BBK components with TRD pads, and all the TRD caps.

The rest of the money goes to SSR GTF-01 with some direzzas. If there's anything left, squeeze in some TRD oil filters. Seats and steering wheel would come out of my own pocket.

Since I don't have free 25k to blow on the car, not a single penny will be spent on TRD Stuff....

Lifetime* supply of tires, brake pads and fluids for track abuse.

I mean lifetime of the car, $25k in tires should last at least 10 years of hard driving if you're conservative.

Built LS3 swap + HRE wheels + new tires. And whatever's left over for a beater car...
