$8000 to spend

[bestwheelbase]

Yeah man, in addition to some mods to make the car feel special to you... Seriously consider spending some of that on an epic road trip. You could go across Canada, all around the states. Those are fun times. Way better than running around town with an expensive set of wheels.

8k is a lot especially if you don't even know what you want. I would just by a cheap race prepped car to keep your frs from accelerated wear

[diss7]

Dont go FI. 8k isnt enough to do it properly with the supported mods IMO.

It entirely depends on what you want to do. If its go fast around a track..
16x8's with full slicks
AP Racing Sprint or Enduro kit
Robi spec rad and oil cooler
Flywheel + clutch
Panel filter
Track pipe
Front pipe (without cat)
Flash tune with 8k rev limit.

Doing that will be faster around a track than getting FI and some supporting mods, and sticking within 8k budget

So if somone who hasn't yet spent the money people say things like, go to college
but if it is a thread where someone already spent the money, people say, nice build! what a joke. -__________-

Get the supercharger + new brakes/rotors + clutch + inter cooler + pistons and have some fun

This is easily over 8k LOL

I wish I had this problem.

turbo kit 5.5k-ish once you have stuff coated and shipped
install and cable/license/tune another 1.5k-ish
clutch and oil cooler another 1.5k-ish

so yeah, if you could get maybe another $500 or so I would say turbo for the win but everyone has their own choice and advice.

just what I would choose based on where I'm at with the car. I'm sure you could go Innovate intercooled/Vortech charged and a Perrin oil cooler/new clutch and it might be a little cheaper, depends on your end goals

[1086]

Actually it would be around the $8k mark depending on what you went with and how much power he is planning to add. The pistons are a and/or type of mod. You don't necessarily need to change them.

[1086]

How many miles do you have clocked on your vortech kit/setup? any heat issues: oil, etc?

[phloozy]

Wheels/Tires need to be first and will set you back $1500-$2500
If you care how the car looks you are going to want to lower it which can be $500-$3000 depending on your goals (cheap for looks, expensive for performance
Wrap/dip will probably cost you $1000-$2000

assuming you plan to wrap it seems like you are more show than go so lets throw in cosmetics

GT86 rep headlights -$500
Toms tails- $500
lip kit- $500-$1000

we are at $4500-$9000 depending on where your priorities are

If you stay on the low end that leaves you with money for
Header back exhaust- $2000 for everything (I think)
Tune- $500

Should leave you with a nice looking ride

If you plan to track you can substitute the showy stuff for a BBK and cooling

Step one, buy better tires. Step two, donate $7,300 to me to make my car faster.

[DrawingWaves]

Well If I had $8k I'd spend them in the most expensive upgrade that drastically changes the look of your car. Good wheels and good suspension will run you at about $4-5k right there. I'd probably add exhaust and other misc. minor power upgrades like pullies, air intake etc. the breaks are always a good investment. Before you know it you'll be sitting at $8k. I'm just trying to save up money for my wheels and coils. Only things I got so far were taillights and antenna lol

[Colominicano]

Turbo, suspension, wheels, tires, plasti dip (wrap is a waste of money), a gun, another gun, and a rifle.

[1086]

I like your style

[nyfries]

what i would do?

KW Clubsports $3800
rotas $1000
Good set of tire $1000-$1500

save the rest of the money, save another $3000 or so than go FI
