If you had 5,000$ and a stock FRS..
What would you spend that on and why?
Just a little fun. Wanting to know people's reasoning behind their spending and all, haha. |

I'd buy porsche stuff. Jacket, shoes, sunglasses.....
Then I'd park in front of a starbucks and tip the Barristas 100s until my evil plan worked.

If balance remained on car, pay off balance.
If car completely paid off, invest half, spend rest on a tune/header/minor tidbits.

OFT + OFH = $1000. Smoother power delivery and slight bump in power and torque.
Better wheels and tires = $2000. Improved grip/performance. RCE Tarmac 0 = $1600. Improved handling. Various bushings = $400. Better feel. |

Add Michelin Super Sports--done. Take the remaining 4200 and drive out to Cali and run the entire PCH. Why are all the great roads so far away?

find cheap or used turbo/supercharger(2800-3500)
st coilovers(750) Good(lightweight) wheels/tires used OR Good(sticky) tires for stock wheels(750-1450) Makes for a darn fun, quick daily driver that can be used for occasional autox/trackday. Obviously nothing too crazy for track days, but if I was a super track junkie it would be bolt-ons, tune, suspension, wheels/tires...IF I was limited to 5k. |
