What to do with $1650

DriFD3S · 02-10-2012, 12:49 AM

Seriously...
I don't know what to do with this money,
my FD is for the most part Stock.

How to I make it better?
I really don't know!

Let me know what are some good ideas.

Talk to Conroy, see what kind of good, aftermarket parts you can get from him...

My suggestion would be the usual FD stuff, Reliability, Reliability, Reliability, then save up for a rebuild, unless you don't have a solid DD. You will need one of them...

Then start with basics...

Before all else.... Aftermarket AST...

Downpipe (needs to fit JDM cars)
Cat back (KEEP, I repeat.... KEEP the stock cat...)
Apex I Power FC

And I just doubled your current budget... :P

If you don't have a problem with it... Buy used part... No point (IMO) spending $1600 on a part when used they go for almost half that...

I think that's all I got to say for now...

you guys say reliability reliability reliability but yet you guys tell him things that dont make it reliable.

Get a nice radiator, ast tank or delete, new intercooler setup and open the intake and exhaust. the less heat the better

ast, catback and a good intake system

Better radiator and a FMIC setup, after that id go with suspension and/or brakes.
