Those are OE replacement radiators, not the larger rads


$200 isn't much unfortunately, I would honestly save it for something you really want

what do you do with a laser?

maybe you can look into LED lights for the interior.. go with blue.. just an idea

Listen to me God damn it !

Put it into your Savings account.

Maybe within another 10 years, You might be able to buy something more *decent*

just slap some bumper stickers on it

the thing is i hear everyone, for the savings, but xmas isnt about that for me, its about buying something you wouldnt buy, im not in the situation where i need to save......im mot rich but im at the halfway point where i wanna spend it on something for my car i wouldnt buy usually....someone have a link for the short shifter?

what do you do with a laser?

Point at stuff :). Far away, close up, doesn't matter :)

Actually, its really amazing, if you want to point out stars its very easy because you can actually see the green beam going all the way to the star at night. Can burn stuff freak people out.

I have a cheap $20 red laser pointer, and this thing is like a lighthouse in comparison.

Jesus, so I'm guessing if you point that laser at someone's eye they're completely blind uh? And wtf, burn.. Holy.. :shocking:

Try using it for an HPDE course.

My friend's wife just got carjacked. I say you spend the $200 on a Bersa Thunder .380 -- unless you live in one of those girly states that think that guns are a bad thing.

My vote goes to short throw shifter!

www.axialflow.com for the short shifter

$96 for a Richard Sohn oil metering adapter. $45.70 for a case of Idemitsu Premix. And $50 left over for a tank.

Your car will love you for it!!!

The AFE shifter is also nice...

Hey English dude, We going to the titty bar this Friday just save the cash for the boobies ;) :lol:

And now for something completely off topic

Teen arrested in Newport Beach for pointing laser at jet, bus and police helicopter
A teenager testing one of his Christmas presents has been arrested for aiming a laser pointer at a jetliner, a commuter bus and a Newport Beach police helicopter.

The pilots of a Skywest Airlines plane and the police helicopter reported the laser attack Tuesday night. Police Sgt. Evan Sailor says officers aboard the helicopter traced the laser beam to a Newport Beach home where the 15-year-old Las Vegas boy was staying with relatives. The boy was given the laser as a Christmas present.

It was the third laser-related arrest in Orange County this week. Two men were arrested earlier for aiming laser devices at an Orange County sheriff's helicopter.

Oddly enough, I have that gun.

Packs a punch.

Actually, a lot of people think that lasers are going to be the weapon of mass terrorism of the future.

Imagine being at a football game, enjoying the crowd, enjoying the fun. All of a sudden you loose your sight permanently. A dude in the crowd 500ft away just nailed you and your entire family with an invisible UV laser. :(

English dude this is what you need http://scangauge.com/
On the other hand if you plan to shit can the 8 after 2 years why put so much into her?

You could always get the TCsportline strut bars (front and rear off ebay) and have $50 leftover.

i changed my mind, im going to get a tattoo instead

anthony! put anothher 150 of ur own in that 200 and get a valentine 1. you need it when living in this town!

edit: ahhh tattoo thats tight

Don't do it!

Racing Beat oil cooler and A/C screens. That would be both a slight appearance mod and protection. I don't have the aftermarket sway bars so can't comment on that but it sounds like a great idea.

I can understand that you got the money as a gift (right?), so you should spend it on something that will last; something that you can show them and say that "you'll always think of them when you drive your 8". Cheesy huh but nice?

Put 100 in a long term saving/investment and blow the rest. Start when you are young and by the time you retire (or even hit 40) you will be set. Dont be a scrooge but dont be your average lottery winner either. Somewhere inbetween.

Live long and prosper :)

for under $20 you can take a dvd laser and hook it up to some cheap batts, and have a high powered beam that will blind people instantly. You can also get higher power lasers without much effort. The eyes will be damaged faster than you can blink, so it does sound effective.

The color-matched leather parking brake handle is $200.

Try using it for an HPDE course.

+1

those are always fun. $200 wont be enough though. even just for the course. then you need hotel money and gas money. last time it ran me over $700!

upgrade your speakers or upgrade your strut bar

you can give the money to me?

hey! it was worth a try..lol

save it, 200 can not really buy much

A $200 fuel card...+1

haha $200 of fuel in Europe is like 2 tanks of gas.

Give a 100 to the door guy at the club for life time vip and vip parking and blow the rest on 2 hotties drinking for the night. then i got baller status for at least the rest of the year and a happy ending

an unforgettable lap dance?
