i got my taxes in today and i was wondering if alot of people planned on using their hard earned money for Mods this year. and if so, what do you plan on doing with the cash?

i havent decided what to do yet but the list is pretty short.
wheels and tires (looking hard with no avail)
type S motor and install (not a must)
give the 944 a new paint job.. ( last resort)

for those who dont have to work lol, you can always tell us what you would recommend doing or would do.

woohoo for returns!

 

Got springs and HID fogs on the way..

 

umm.. i'd have nothing to spend.. probably just get coilovers and new tires.. or just wheels..... i'm pretty much set now... haha

maybe start my build..

 

Build motor for boost, buy supplies for boost, and a couple sets of tires because I will be burning the hell out of them at the track.

I say spray the 944. I love those cars. If not quit slacking with the swap already.

 

Nope, bought an LCD tv instead.

 

will be using mine on sway bars hopefully.
or to pay off the rest of my spoiler or sub...

 

Paint my side skirts and front lip, then put the rest of it away for lower springs or for my project car. I haven't decided yet.

 

for the TL...an AEM intake, and more stuff to increase gas mileage...im thinking a Tanabe hyper medallion, and Megan header.

for the bike im picking up an Icon Motorhead jacket, K&N filter, short velocity stack's, and a power commander USB III...then a well balanced street tune.

 

fixed..

 

A shweeeeet surround sound system from circuit city that was dirt cheap

 

...and Tokico Blues


I was tempted to get the PCIII/K&N combo for my bike..but figured I would get more use out of the TL goodies. Wish I could afford both..

 

not me...the only time im in the TL is if its raining, or winter...otherwise ill be on the bike, or in my new project car

 

well...ok in all honesty I can get away with buying stuff for the car over the bike due to my "better half" Its much easier on my ears this way...

 

I'm looking at a supercharger, UR crank pulley, comptech B-pipe and repairing a rim

 

i'm looking to get an oem kit, and coil overs and i'm set =]
looks come first to me than speed i feel that as long as i can beat all the ricers i'm satisfied

 

will go to the saving box for the next car, as long as my TL is still surviving.

 

Spent a few bucks on Tokico HPs, timing belt/water pump replacement, and alignment. All set for another 100k miles

 

build my engine for more boost

 

I bought some RonJon Servo's

 

haha noooo its my baby! i keep it bone stock and fully original and clean. and the swap on my accord is costing more money and more time then i thought.. maybe one day soon i'll cave and swap the TL.. but for now its looks first.. then when i feel in my TL i'll swap the S motor in...

im getting these newer porsche wheels and it'll look like this.. only thing im doing to that car.

mines black though

 

I'm using mine for a small vacation in Southern California and the rest if any exist will go to paying off debt. Wish I could drop money on mods to the TL but I've already done a lot of that on my family car (2004 Denali XL). If I could though I would get everything listed in my sig.

 

What year is your 944? What model? I used to have a 1987 944S 5MT- that car was a lot of fun to drive.

 

87 turbo 5spd (with a raunchy 3rd gear at the moment)

almost grabbed a cabriolet, but im happy with mine.

the convertibles only look good with the top down.

its no drag car. but knockin on the door of 160 aint somethin most cars can do stock.. a friend of mine's dad did minor modding and topped out at 170 in arizona with his 944 S

crazy fun little cars. and they can fit old Vette V8s!

heres an example of mine. i'll have an album for it soon

 

haha..man looking at that pic reminds me of those "bowling ball" rims my 944 came with. What were they thinking?

A buddy of mine in Florida has one that he crammed a hopped up v8 and TH400 into. They have fun terrorizing people on the street with it.

 

thats what is on my car

they win the award for ugliest production wheels of all time...

v8 swapped 944's are the biggest sleepers on the planet...

people think "oh its at worst, a turbo'd 4 cylinder. i can probably get it off the line."

and then BWAAHHOWQWOOWODKFSHSHHHH

 

How fast can these run a 1/4?

 

i got this 88 924s cheap i drift the shit out it
my return got me
new motor mounts oe honda
new struts kyb
aem uego wideband o2 to tune my neo
ported my intake manifold and runners
new gaskets and injector o-rings oe honda
ebay trunk lip spolier
new fluids honda

 

turbo can run mid 13's with good driver.. the S model isnt far behind that.. and the regular models run about even with the TL-S

seen a guy at the track run a different turbo setup on his with about 24 psi and run mid 12's with ONLY turbo and tune...

very fun and Affordable car these days.. pick one up for around 5-10 k depending on the model you choose..

it was named the "best handling car in the world"

and as posted above.. if youre into drifting.. its an AMAZING drifter..
i baby mine though

 

Back when I had the 944S- I raced a buddy of mine that put a crate 350 in his 84 camaro from a second gear roll, pulled him about a half to 3/4 car upstairs in 3rd. He got mad and said that his transmission was slipping..

Another race I had in that car was against a 3000GT Vr-4. From a first gear roll I pulled him about a half a car and stayed there all the way to the top of 4th.

Never could get a good race out of it from a dead dig...the car was nearly impossible to launch..I think gearing played a major factor there.

That car handled like it was on rails..

This is bringing back a lot of good memories talking about that car...

 

I love the 944's. I'm helping a co-worker rebuild his 1984 non-turbo.

 

I'm not telling
