I think carbon parts should wait. You can have a new engine but if you do not do any thing to the suspension you can **** up the axle of the car.

thanks 94boy for postin my car.......im gonna have to agree with people on here....1st i would tell you to do suspension over power first, suspension is the most important thing on the car aside from the brakes.....you can have all the power in the world but with out the right suspension the power is useless. You should just do the suspension and mess around with the stock motor, get a feel for the car. once your comfortable you go ahead and put a motor in it.
No on to the carbon whatever your gettin. I think its a complete waste of money. Your gonna spend alot of money for carbon pieces that look ok but will also shatter if you even tap something...for the money you would spend for that i would just get some cheap fiberglass peices.

lol a 240 show car? some aero,stereo, carbon, wheels, paint and motor dosnt make your car a show car it just makes you a hardparker.
imo show cars have to be unique and have innovative parts or just plain stupid parts lol i dont like show cars so w/o but i do like some hardparkers just beats me up inside when i see a nice car that will never see a track all i think is what a waste...
anyway your money dude do what makes you happy not anyone else cause in the end your the one thats gona be driving the car not anyone else

mmm seems a lil tooooooo logical? just get coilovers and wheels. buy a new hatch and fix the body. end of argument youre in school, if you dont have enough money for turbo then aero is gay, unless its sweetlowridejapstyle
