Youve got $1000 to spend - what are you buying?

[trevman2]

Thanks to Uncle Sam (& the wife of course), I've got $1000 to spend on my first mods. Eventually, I want to do some Autocross but for now, just spirited around town driving. When I bought the car, it already had a K&N filter, but otherwise, its 100% stock. I have some ideas in mind, but wanted to get some input as to what, in your experience, is the best bang for the buck.

MGW, lowering springs and an oil separator. Should have a little cash left over too but could put it toward labor if you're not installing yourself.

Separator, Springs, camber plates, and fuel...

Yes - doing the installs myself. I should have included that I cannot do any kind of lowering springs due to the fact that I have to get on base and my splitter already drags across the rumble strips at stock ride height. Maybe in the future when I don't go to the base anymore.

Fuel??? What you talkin bout Willis? Like just filling the car up to drive it more...

Gotta know which mask to get depending on if you don't want the L strain or the S strain...LOL

Screw mods to my car.... buying all the N95 masks I can find.

Forget the ceramic coating... nano coatings are overrated with the choice of fantastic spray-on sealants on the market. Buy a gallon of "Beadmaker". It'll do the same thing for $30.

Resonator delete, short shifter, oil separator. Those are all my planned mods

All pretty easy install especially if the base has a lift you can use.

Thanks for your service.

MGW and res delete, money leftover for a track day

Precisely! These cars need very little!

 

[trevman2]

Thanks for the responses - these are alot of the things I already had in mind.

Just ordered FP passenger side oil separator, Shifteck resonator H pipe delete and oil change stuff. Still on the fence about MGW. Also looking at new brake pads & jacking rails...still got money to spend
