I have $15 grand for mods and don't know what to do first or where to go for the best deal. These are the mods I have been thinking about.

1. Exhaust- I like the EP quiet.

2. Wheels- I like 18' HRE 545R with Gun Metal centers and spacers. Not sure about 19's as I do not want deal with dent wheels every 6 months.

3. Chip- Upsolute or GIAC. I don't know enough about this to make an intelligent decision. I would prefer a chip that the dealership will not give me a hard time about. I know that I will be taking some risk (Warranty) with any chip. From what I have read, the GIAC is arguably the "better" of the two. GIAC also has the level two chip which I am considering. Again, this is an area I know virtually nothing about as people have very "partisan" views of both upsolute and GIAC.

4. Front Bumper- I like the GT2 bumper, but I understand it is more intensive regarding labor and cost.

5. PSS9- This appears to be the obvious choice.

6. DV's- The EVO Billet valves look good.


What variation should I get? I am thinking of 1, 2, and 3. Who has the best prices if I buy all these items at once?

 

Jump on it, Alex&Arling.

I'd pick 3,5,1 in that order.

 

hey arling chime in, this man needs some help

arling form lucent is teh man

 

I think you can get more than 3 options to do it once if you get it from Arling

Arling is the man to talk to!! good luck

 

Go to the bank and get more money, then talk to Arling at Lucent. I'm sure he can make you a deal on the complete package.

 

Arling's calculator just went out of juice and the stores are closed.
He's trying real hard to add it up manually.

 

relax guys thank u all for sooo much love. now i need to share some with yellowbmr

i know headdoc already as well as his nice blue turbo cab. let us be the doc or ur ride!

 

PSS9s... you can already go fast. These things are wonderful and you will not believe you are in the same car. 50% improvement.

Lower the car by about 1.375 front and about 1.25" in the rear and set to about 5 on firmness. Estimate around $4K installed with an all corners wheel alignment.

EP Loud not quite. It won't disappoint. $5K

Get GAIC...it's the best. EVO MS. Basically you will have a stage stage 2 with EP. Nice increase in both torgue band and HP. $3900 if you do it yourself. Add about $300 if you have someone do it for you. DVs take about 1.5 hours done right.

That will eat $13K. The other $2K will be for oil and gas she will consume over the next year.

Good luck.

 

how bout you take like $2000 and go to driving school. sure u may be a good driver, but u can always be a better driver.

if not, do aesthetic mods first (kit, pedals, wheels, shifter, color this color that). Then do the engine.

 

I agree. Arling and Tom are awesome. Arling, What do ya think? Any suggestions? What would it cost to do 1,2,3 and 5?

 

$5000 - Europipe Stage 2 LOUD
$2500 - EVO/IA Stage 2 ECU Tuning
$4000 - JIC Suspension & GT3 Swaybars
$3500 - Some BLING (if you must)
$15,000 - GONE!!!

 

anything can be done but we should have a chat to know what exactly is ur driving style, how often the car is on the road, what do u need the car to feel/look like. shoot me a mail or stop by anytime at shop so we can talk.

Zippy,
knowing doc's car is a cab & mainly will be used on public road JIC + swaybar might not be the way to go.

 

Are u a shrink or what?
How much is that talk going to cost?

 

???

 

Fred & Alex know the answer.
