Apparently I payed $1200 to much in on my property taxes this year so I got some play money. Probably gonna pay off one of my credit cards and maybe another bill or two so it leaves me with around $500-$700 to spend on my car(s13 coupe). But I can't decide what to spend it on. So far my car doesn't have crap done to it other than some 15" enkei mesh wheels, a ****ty fat can, CAI, some stero stuff and a fresh tuneup. Here is some stuff i'm thinking about.

1. I could complete my stereo. Right now I have an eclipse 5v deck, and 6.5 JL components. I'm probably gonna get new rear speakers no matter what since the factory ones are blown and a decent set is only about $80. But should I buy a sub? I already have a nice 1100 wat eclipse amp. I don't want anything big just one sub that can handle that. I'm guessing for a nice one installed i'll pay around $500.

2. Could finally quit being a ricer with a fat can and get a real exhaust. I could go order a nice catback or go to a shop close by that does custom piping, get a nice muffler and a high flow cat. I'm guessing around $300-$500

3. New suspension. Don't think I need coilovers, since my car doesn't see any track action. Was thinking of going with Eibach sportlines with AGX's or Koni Yellows. I'm guessing around $500-$700.

4. Or I could fix some stuff that is wrong with my car. BAsically small cosmetic stuff. But what fun would that be??

Right now I think suspension is top on my list, my new rims look nice but would look so much better with out that hideous wheel gap. But then again I do drive 30 miles everyday to work and love my music. I'm used to having a $2000 stereo in my altima. On the other hand I would like to start getting a few more ponies to. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions are welcome.

 

i vote suspension

 

i agree

 

definately choose on of the performance options

 

Anyone have any custom piping done? Just wondering on an average price. All i'll need to bring is a cat and muffler right?

 

And your stock piping to give them an idea of how to run it

 

I say suspension. Stock wheel gap and aftermarket wheels looks horrible.

 

I would say suspension.

 

get supension... did you decide what to get already?

 

Yep I went with suspension. I didn't get coilovers since the car won't see much track time. I ordered Eibach Sportlines and gonna get some KYB AGX's or Koni Yellows. I might also be getting my exhaust done too. I think i'm gonna snag a muffler and high flow cat from ebay. Any suggestions on good fitting,looking mufflers for an s13?

 

nooo!!

You diddn't order the springs already did you?

I have a NEW pair of Tein S-techs i'll sell you for a really good price. They have never been installed, used, nothing. They were given to me as a gift, but I have other plans (coils).

Send me a msg. on AIM- Maxboost724

 

Heh sorry man already ordered the springs. To bad you don't have shocks

 

Hey Cape I'll take them...PM me if you're willing to sell them.

 

sorry for the false alarm.

I thought they were a 2.5 inch drop.
I did a little research and found that they are only like 1.4 inches or something like that, which i'm really satisfied with.

I got caught up in the moment earlier.

 

I'd also go with suspension... its the first thing i'm doing with my 240.

It will be a lot more "bang for your buck" than a new exhaust (i havn't got my suspension yet but i imagine the difference will be a lot bigger than just a new exhaust, especially seeing as yours already isnt stock)
