a transmission....

haha im jk, uhh invest in an intake and headers?

ironsurfer129

I would say a 6 spd swap
if not then, invest in supercharger
if still too crazy for you, then comptech header & intake tein SS

The market is so uncertain. Give all of it to your finacial advisor unless you already have a nest egg. If you dont have a financial advisor, GET ONE.

ClaraTypeS

Drop IT. Get some Coilovers. A Cold Air Intake will sound great with that straight pipe. Headers will be great too. OOOORRRR... You can get some new "shoes" for your ride. 2500 can get you some things man.

w3alvnbg674

How much is a comptech s/c kit if its over my budget can i get one used.

DFoster0

Dude simple rims and a drop and you'll have money left over

DECENT rims + coilovers + camber kit + tires + alignment will run you over $2500

unless you get them used.

$500 for coilovers, $250-300 for front and rear camber kits, $60 alignment, now you have about $1700 for rims + tires. all used

but i rather spend half and save half.

the REAL question si do u wanna go faster or look nicer? Then we can point you on the right direction.
FASTER-Intake$200 Headers $100(XS) Pulleys $300 Quaility Coilovers + Alignment + Camber kits $1200 (Estimate)=$1800 with about $700 left to splurge on dumb shit and gas lol
Look Better- Rims Depends on what kind you get. Since you dont plan on going faster then weight doesnt matter which means you can get a rim and tire package from some online company for $1000 (18inch rims), then quality coilovers remains @ $1200 that leaves with with $300 to do little things like bulbs and other minor cosmetics.

But it all depends on what your looking for

cltypeSLOW

buy visa stock.

notorious7182010

if you are like me and you aim for increased aesthetics rather than increased speed in your car, go with
-tein ss coilovers (if you can find a good pair of used ones maybe 600-700)
-window tints 150-200
-rims/tires 1600
-debadge your trunklid under 10 dollars for googone
-LED interior light conversion should be bout 50
-6000+ HID bulbs 40-100 used

abouelmm

straight piped a cl i wouldnt do anything engine wise, you can only get so much power, plus the tranny etc.. if you had to spend it, i just like everyone else say drop it and get some nice rims, thats pretty much it

DFoster0

omni coilovers-650
rims- 850
simple as that

so no camber kit, well i guess if u dont have tires with the rims u dont have to worry about tread wear... since they're $850, they won't last long anyway....


c'mon, a drop needs camber kit(s), rims need tires.... plus don't get some shitty rims, they do crack...

DFoster0

nono 850 with tires ill give u the link if u dont believe me, but yeah the camber kit i would go with my tires only go for about a year or so

aunggu2002

Yup.

Got my 200 shares at $58 and change.

Gonna sell them when it hits the big 120!!!

Oh and original poster:

$2500 can pimp your ride for sure. Like people here said, decide if you want performance, looks, or combination of both.

If you want the cake, bakery, and the baker's daughter:

XS headers
Coilovers
Sways
cold air intake
Total = around 1k

get a set of nice ass rims for around 1k or bodykit for about the same

spend the other $500 on some sparco seats/belts to make it feel racy

AARONSredTYPE-S

1. xs headers w/ new grade 8 bolts = 150+100 install = 250
2. neuspeed race or eibach pro-kit springs = 200
3. kyb struts 200-300+ 300 install= 500-600
4. (4) kumho or falken 235/45/17 tires= 500 with install
5. unorthodox underdrive pulley= 350 with new belts and install
6. injen cold-air intake= 200
7. alignment after 2 weeks of the suspension being on= 100
8. window tint and tail-light tint = 300

$ 2 5 0 0 TOTAL

3. kyb struts 200-300+ 300 install= 500-600

$800 buys you a nice set of coilovers that most can install on their own.

i don't know why anybody would spend money to make a FWD car have more power. the 3.5 tl has so much torque steer that its absurd to try and drive it flat out. if you have to spend the cash i'd put it into a stereo, suspension, a better sounding exhuast, or cosmetic like a spoiler, wheels, or something like that.

having a 6 speed is really the best solution.

6 Speed Swaps Are Like 4-5k Arent They? If So, Not Worth It For A 1/2 Second In The Quarter Mile..jmo

'01White3.2CL

PLAN A: get it all into 2500 singles, fill up gas tank and drive it to a certain night spot...oh and maybe a comfy pillow for your backseat?

look, we're all gonna say different things, looks like you're just screaming out "look at me, im rich blah". if you're gonna blow it all anyway, why not ask which mods are best for the money so you can have some left over...it only looks like you'll be $2500 poorer pretty soon, but at least plan A would be the most memorable...you know since you enjoy blowing money and all!!

I'd save it for when your trans dies & Acura won't cover it cause your out of warranty.

grime015

Go to a good dealership and they will cover your transmission even if it is out of warranty.

smooth CL-in

i would play with $500 for now and save the other portion. if u don't have a saving's account this is the good time to start or open a cd account (certificate of deposit) and let the intrest compound for years to come.

don't have to blow it all at one time.
