What to do next?

I have about $800-850...

I have:

UR Pulleys
Comptech Sways
Comptech Icebox
Alpha Werks Headers
H&R Sport Springs w/ Tokico's
Pioneer Avic D1 w/ iPod Connector
Comptech AxleBacks
Hardwired V1
33% tint
Clifford RSX 3.5 w/ remote start
Comptech Billet Oil Cap
Mugen Radiator Cap



The things I was pondering were:

ThermoBlock
Comptech B-Pipe
Cusco Underbody Tie Bar
Comptech Strut Bar
Tein Coilovers
Comptech Supercharger- but not sure cause I have almost 60K miles and the time I have enough money for it I'll be at 70K. And I'm sellling the car at 100K miles.

My last option is to continue saving and drop it on whatever new car I get. Which will probably be a car under 35K w/ auto tranny.


What should I do?! What other mods could I do, which is the most for my money...

Veeral, my opinion would be to WAX it.

But on a serious note, I'd have to say go for the spacers, and D2 RS coilovers. I swear I'm not biased or anything.

haha i know i need a good wax my car looks hideous, when it heats up we can wax our cars! I just ordered the Mugen Tstat and fan switch... I already have the radiator cap. I'm looking to get the thermoblock spacers... I already have the car lowered so I dont think I'll do the coilovers anymore...

After the spacers I'm not sure what to get... maybe a strut bar?

That's more of a cosmetic thing, then for structural rigitty. On the P's, it works magic.

Where'd you get all that positive cash flow?


I agree with the TB's and Mugen cooling mods, then bank the rest.

I think that might be what I'll do after the headers are installed.
