$300 question - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

BillFromTR · 11-16-2007, 08:46 PM

I have a gramma that always gets me something for Christmas for around 300 bux, actually she lets me use her CC and I just get it sent to her house so she can wrap it Before any suggestions are made, my mods are in my sig, plus some cf bits/exterior bits/gauges blah blah blah......

I'm not looking for anything that would cause me to get tuned for it because my setup is pretty fresh, but more power is always appreciated.

My personal wishlist includes the P&L EWG kit (fits my dp) and some perty 18x9 sexy wheels, both are not feasible right now.

So I'm trying to think what I should get and harnesses crossed my mind. Some green Takitas or whatever the f*** their called, but keep in mind I am not an autox'er. I basically use my car for drag racing or street racing but my goal is to be a track racer (big track, not gay cone racing)

I was also thinking maybe a lightweight battery and some hellas or maybe a brake pad/lines and sways....?

So what would you get with around a 300 budget with the mods listed in sig. Keep in mind i also have a few things not listed.

Oh yeah, what about lightweight seats? Forge bov? 300 worth of VP103 and meth? or pulleys and grounding kit?

All comments welcome

???

Takata's are not $300... neither are seats or really anything that you listed...

between you wanting takatas but not knowing what they're called or having a reason for it, and calling autoxing 'gay cone racing', i am not presently interested in helping your gramma spend too much money on you. tell her you want a kiss on the cheek and that will be fine.

For $300.00? I don't know much about NOS, but I don't think its going to be around $300.00 if you ask me.

Sway bars it is then.

You can't go wrong with brake components, I would get pads, lines and Motul fluid.

WKderF · 11-17-2007, 05:09 PM

I would definitely put your $300 toward suspension & braking components since it looks as if you are lacking in those departments.

BillFromTR · 11-17-2007, 10:05 PM

After a bit of research, Im torn between Whiteline sways, RCE lowering camber plates, or Hawk pads/ss lines/fluid.

Sways, get something permanant on the car. If you go with brake pads, and are "racing" you will kill them real quick.

**TROLL** · 11-17-2007, 11:08 PM

camber plates should be last on the list... if you dont have at least a rear sway and endlinks then already then i'd highly recommend it. front sway is less necessary but only improves the situation.
also front brake pads alone will be a great upgrade, followed by lines and fluid, then rear pads in that order.
