1K for fun stuff, what to buy?

Sean978 · 02-06-2015, 12:59 PM

So I'm already running Jb4G5, bms DCI, VRSF catless DPs, H&R Sport springs. Staggered AM wheels that look nice but have different center bore (hubrings literally impossible to find) and the ET is so off that I need aggressive spacers front and rear. So with Taxes coming in i'll have around 1k to play with.

SonicTuning S3 coilovers and sell off H&R sports? - $999 + $150-200

BT Cable $179, Stage 2 lpfp upgrade $440, ER CP with helix DVs $400? - $1019 or so.

OEM Wheels? - up to $1000

or Cosmetics. Roof is scratched to shit but the rest of the car was completely resprayed 10 months ago. I've contemplated just wrapping it. Both Angel Eyes recently died with the 8ft of snow. Maybe Lux upgrades? just not sure if pre-lci upgrades are available right now. Also looking into front and rear m3 bumpers because I have a pre-lci non m-sport and its just a little bland to me.

Plane ticket to Vegas THEN hookers and blow...done

In all seriousness though probably not rims because good ones will cost more than $1k

BostonBeemah · 02-06-2015, 07:16 PM

Option 2 but I would stick with vrsf and Tial for a cheaper and more reliable combo for the CP. Add some e85 in the tank and you'll never regret it

Hey man I have TC Kline Coilovers and Style 193M & Apex Arc8 wheels for sale ! Shoot me a text 516-860-6823

K19BMW · 02-06-2015, 09:52 PM

Well if you dont plan on using E85 then option 2 seems pretty useless.
You should get koni yellow shocks/struts to replace your oem ones and then you already have the h&r springs. I just bought a set new for $550 this morning. Then you would still have $500 to play with

actually I agree with this guy ^^. Do the water pump. Mine crapped out on me last month (was stuck on the side of the road in 10 degree F weather for 2.5 hours

waiting for AAA). Anyway, it cost like $980 for parts and labor.

LuxAngelEyes · 02-09-2015, 10:24 PM

we will have the angel eyes in stock very soon actually, they should be shipping to us this week

Torgus · 02-11-2015, 02:01 PM

intercooler, meth kit, charge pipe and get yourself a back end flash asap. should be around 1k or so.

Well, as luck (unluck?) would have it, the water pump already shit the bed about two weekends ago, right after we got the 2ft of snow. I already had figured about $600 for parts into this or i'd probably be going with coils and IC. Only had the car back for 2 weeks after the DME bricked on me, too.

In any case, BT cable is here, water pump etc.. is being shipped..

Can anyone recommend a good e30 map and pump gas map?
