Why not? Are you still waiting on more to come in so you can do it all at once? I'm doing that right now for everything that would generate an alignment.

Because I'm currently running in "CS" class in my local autoX club and I want to finish the season in CS. As well as becomming a better driver before i add performance parts.

gramicci101 · 05-13-2014, 01:46 PM

Ah, that never occurs to me for some reason. All the new parts will bump you up to STX?

tahdizzle · 05-13-2014, 01:47 PM

Yup.

Raven 6 · 05-13-2014, 05:24 PM

Well I have had many good options. The one to pay down the principle is the most logical one, but I'm not to logical. I would really like a turbo or supercharger, but I'm really leaning toward wheels and tires, exhaust, and coil overs. Keep the ideas coming though.

Kill the stock tires then get more tires.

Plus:
Springs
Camber Plates
LCAs
Camber bolts
EL Header
OFT
Sway bars
Oil Cooler

...that's my build for $5K

Tainen · 05-13-2014, 06:40 PM

Hmm...
current setup: Clear bra front half of the car, window tint, Hawk brake pads, headerback, brake fluid, Redline synth oils. New Enkei NT03+Ms sitting in boxes in the garage waiting for next set of tires.

Here is the next 5k I have planned for mine:
$225 Track day
$225 Track day
$225 Track day
$600 new tires. The OEM ones will be shot by this time I think. DZIIs or Supersports or something along those lines.
$250 Racing shop alignment with camber bolts
$225 Track day
$225 Track day
---- end of my track season, end of summer
winter prep for next track season:
$600 oil cooler
$300 tune
$2000 Coilovers. MCA Reds ? or something along those lines.
$2000 Essex sprint kit

Easy, I'd put $5,000 towards a turbo kit. I've spent quite a bit of money on my car so far, but saving up enough for a turbo is gonna take some. It's the one thing I really want, though.

GotMunchies? · 05-13-2014, 08:31 PM

- Sprint Brake kit
- Wheels
- Tires
- Extra rotors and brake pads
- Extra brake fluid
- Extra engine, transmission, and diff fluid

Whatever's left (probably not much ;( ) on track time.

Wheels/Tires ~1600
Winjet + Retrofit HID ~$800
The rests towards paying down the loan. Cars are way more fun and satisfying when there is no monthly payment!

Tank · 05-14-2014, 10:18 AM

I'd buy a few dozen dozen torques.

Agree with those suggesting to just modifying to enhance the look/sound.

mothespaceman · 07-08-2014, 02:20 PM

I agree on a completely stock car to start with wheels, good tires and a fairly decent coilover set up, LCA's and a great performance alignment.

From where my car is at now, it would either be full bolt on + dyno tune or a JRSC.

BRZZZZZZZZZZ · 07-08-2014, 05:01 PM

My $5000 (exactly) went to this :

1992 1.6L with Jackson Racing S/C with big boost kit, 6UL 15x7.5 wheels with 205/50/15 Direzza Z1 tires, Koni Yellows with unknown lowing springs, slotted rotors with unknown pads, 137000km...
