View Full Version : $300 what would you do?
stevenjs31 09-23-2009, 08:00 PM I saved up around 300 dollars to spend on my white 8, I was thinking of getting blue parking and fog hids, a caback (HKS), or possbily tien lowering springs. So i'm looking for opinions what would you do if in my situation?
(my friends dad owns a body shop so i would get resonable rates there)

If you really want to hurry and spend then get lowering springs but other than that, save a little bit so you won't be saying to yourself "Shit I wish I had rims, shit I wish I bought an exhaust". LOL

I wouldn't buy an exhaust. Something about that says ricer, unless you get the right one. and even then, that's a mod you don't enjoy as much. Your radio will drown it out, etc. But springs you'll see everyday, and a SS you'll get to use everyday.
Personally, I'd lower it.
Brettus 09-23-2009, 11:52 PM Hmmmm $300 ........................How long would that give me with a busty blonde ?
shazy 09-24-2009, 12:07 AM 30 mins. 10$ per minute. That's the rule.
Fortunate Few 09-24-2009, 01:26 AM springs add style and performance! TEIN ftw! or save and get coilovers :)
RyansRx8 09-24-2009, 01:40 AM Spend your cash on a stripper...nothing makes it look better than a half naked std carrying hooker :)

(Personally I have gains with the single exit HKS hi power exhaust and RB midpipe or no exhaust and I think dual exhaust are more ricey then anything IMO and single exit looks better IMO) I'm lowered on coilovers with sways which add a great improvement over springs but you could wait a little longer (which should not be too long) and buy a shock/spring setup or buy sways if you want performance. Trying to listen to the radio when you are actually pushing the car is just stupid and takes away from the driving experience unless you are just cruising around I guess. The point is that you have $300 and you are not to far off from buying something better than just springs alone (sways). Then again IDK how long it took you to get that $300.
stevenjs31 09-24-2009, 07:36 AM i'm looking into that cf hood for 200
chino0314 09-24-2009, 07:45 AM Good choice they usaully don't sell that cheap
VFX001 09-24-2009, 05:55 PM JDM clear corners.
RXeckless 09-24-2009, 06:17 PM AFE short shifter hands down...
Ditto the best mod out there!
Krazed_Rx8 09-24-2009, 06:23 PM Lowering springs
Symbioticgenius 09-24-2009, 06:37 PM BHR Midpipe, and my next would be the Accessport from Mazdamaniac... because looking fast doesn't matter if you aren't fast.
RyansRx8 09-24-2009, 08:36 PM ^^ thankyou someone who prefers performance hands down
Chris 09-24-2009, 09:12 PM hell yeah. the mid pipe for sure!!!!
chino0314 09-24-2009, 09:38 PM i agree with the performance mods but this is the Exterior Appearance and Body Kits forum
Frostt 09-24-2009, 10:05 PM Save up and buy an ingen intake it's worth it
Symbioticgenius 09-24-2009, 10:42 PM i agree with the performance mods but this is the Exterior Appearance and Body Kits forum
The OP opened up the discussion when he mentioned catbacks.
Midpipe is a dual mod, because as you approach me, the sound makes your car appear to be fast, but in this case, it actually is. Whereas a Body kit, springs, etc will make you car appear like it "could" be fast, which is false advertising.
The whole point of look mods, is for impression, but I say
If the people outside your car can see what it looks like... you're not going fast enough.
Wind Dance 09-24-2009, 11:48 PM Then again, there is nothing wrong with making a car look good for yourself. For $300 i wouldn't put a dime on an intake or exhaust because frankly it yields next to nothing. Basically comes down to money for sound. Midpipe is a good choice, although your friends or cars behind you are not going to like you.
stevenjs31 09-25-2009, 01:04 AM yeah i'm looking for any mood performance or apperance, just want to hear some opinions. Also the guy pmd me about the hood and if the person dosn't paypal him by tommorrow i get it!
yeah he did say exhaust somewhere. Lowering springs since you only have $300
gh8st 09-25-2009, 11:52 AM +1 on springs.. makes your car look 100x better
my friend has a CF hood for free lol it just needs to be redone
chino0314 09-26-2009, 01:29 PM whats wrong with it
