Plans For My Car

[96240SX]

Ok, im getting 1300 dollars in 1 week..But I'm not to sure what to actually get. Im going for looks, and power.. to impress people of course.
Here's My list of different options.
Option 1: I can get the alladdin 2000 system for 359 Installed. I can get the Battle Gtr wing along with the paintjob for 300. A Rockford Fosgate 12" 1000W Sub with a V-Tech Styled Box. A catback exhaust for 280,  K&N Air filter for 50, and a Paint Job for 100 (Im related to someone that paints cars) That gets to be aroud 1300 almost, but I'm still not to sure about the exhaust yet.
Option 2: I can get all that above except the exhaust and get an Injen intake with the cold air extension for 290, that will also be aroud 1300.
Option 3: Just found out I could buy these 17" white DTM rims for 410 shipped. Then I can get these Nankang tires for 399. Then I could buy that spoiler for 300, and 100 for the paint, and then id have 100 left over. (Only problem is that I dont know if these wheels would fit..says they only have the 40 Offset wheels? I dont know what that is all about, and the tires are 215/40R-17 83H, whatever that means. I need to know if they'd fit my car..96 240SX. But anyways, I wont get no power out of this option, but I do get the good deals on the wheels, because they are goign out of business..Take a look at wholesalewheel.com

Those are my 3 options, and I need help deciding on what option plan i should go with...any new ideas would be great. By The way.. What's your plans for your 240?

Option 1 sounds good for what you want to do. But I would get the Injen Intake or don't get anything at all. Also I wouldn't bother getting the Cold Air Extension, it isn't worth the money IMHO.

Exhaust helps on s14's quite a bit, as long as it is a good design, what one did you have planned?

I wouldn't get wheels unless you plan to lower the car. with 215/40/17's on stock suspension your nice looking ride will look like a retro off terrain vehicle.

Alarm sounds like a good idea as does the system, but I'm not a big fan of stereo's so my opinion isn't much use to you in this department <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Skip the wing.

Skip the wing?
Item


I kinda like it. But If I don't get the wing, it can lead me into buying the exhaust, and an intake, right now I have no spoiler what so ever.

IMHO,

[1] Buy the Cat back...it will add spice and punch to your car (not supersonic...but enuff to make u happy for a bit...plus it sounds REAL gud
[2] Buy an intake...I've heard the same about cold intakes...marginal diff so I think stick w/ reg.
[3] &nbsp;Rims i like. &nbsp;but i think 16 wuld suffice and then drop your car.(I think deep well rims would look gud on the 240)
[4] &nbsp;Suspension
[5] &nbsp;Then TURBO BABY!!!!

that is the order that i wud do upgrades. &nbsp;Then I would finish it off with a SIMPLE body kit. &nbsp;Nothing flashy...just simple. &nbsp;

****of course these are BROAD brush strokes and there are finer details that i haven't gone into...


****actually i change my mind...buy the cat back, do the intake....then save the rest and go TURBO!!

sorry kind of a long post <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[96240SX]

DEFINITELY skip the wing...

***no offense****

Hmm... what does IMHO mean? Im still trying to figure out why people dont like the wing. Is it because of the looks? Anyways,In 2 years &nbsp;ill have the oppurtunity to get a 20000 dollar car, or fix up the 240.. whichever i want. I have no clue how all that turbo works, and how u would get it on there. I seen like a Stage 2 or 3, i dunno, but it was like 6000 dollars. I dont have enough for a bodykit, if i were to get the wheels..but im sure i could find some good prices around. I like the bomex front bumber myself, looks pretty badass, think its....400 or something.

In My Humble Opinion

[West]

IMHO = In My Honest Opinion

Injen Intake is for sale on Groupbuycenter.com from Shawn @ Enjukuracing.com. Dont bother with the Cold Air Extension (CAE)

Buy Wheels and then get suspension. Springs should cost about $200. Shox are another $300-$400. If your going for power and looks then suspension is a double bonus, it adds lots to your looks and it helps perform and increases the fun factor a great deal! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Then save some and get the Cat Back.

[96240SX]

That would almost be bordering my budget, about 1240. How much do the springs lower the car, and how much would u think it would cost to install it? ITs pretty much the intallation prices that are holding me back. If i were to get the wheels, Im guessing it would cost...40 dollars, correct me if im wrong. 40 for the intake, and whatever for the springs. I might have to get more money, hehe

[96240SX]

So far, it looks like i now Have 4 options. First off, let me tell you that I have a Champagne colored 240sx with hubcaps, and no spoiler.

OPtion1
359-security
300-wing
153-hx2 speaker
50-speaker box
400-catback exhaust
40-instalation
TOTAL:1302 (No Paint Job)
Option2:
359-Security
153- HX2 Speaker
50- Speaker box
400-Catback exhaust
200-Injen intake
80-INstallation
TOTAL: 1242 (need to get $42 for the paint)

Option C:
359- Security
153-Hx2 Sub
50-Speaker Box
300-Wing
200-Injen Intake
40-Installation
TOTAL: $1102 (with paintjob and 95 left over)

Option 4:
810- Rims +tires
200-Intake
80-100 Installation
TOTAL: 1090-1110 dollars (With Paintjob, and 100 left over)

Now to decide what option im going to go with...hehe,
I kinda like Option 2. But, i like Option 4 too.

like everyone said.. forget the wing.
it makes it look too ricey and reminds me of sumthing that belongs on an Integra or a riced-up honda...

as for the mods, i think #1 will get u the most performance mods.... i'm not a real audiophile, so i don't care for big subs or wutever... simple stuff.
i've never seen a 240/S14 wif aftermarket shocks yet... wonder what it looks like?

hmmmm... a simple bodykit would be cule...
the one that i like is a VIS racing kit for the S14.. very simplistic. but like expensive

[transient]

Yeah, the wing sux. Get an aluminum if you're gonna get somethin that big. A small one though, and only get it if you're gonna back it up with HP.

Personally I think a nice car should have a nice system. Doesn't have to be huge, but enough bass to make the seats rumble.

[STOCK240sx]

if i had that much money to spend i would do it up with suspension man and then worry about everything else like exhaust... rims... the sr20...

[konkman]

Options 2 and 4 are good, but what do you really want a showcar or performance car.

I would go with option one. &nbsp;The car stock is very sluggish. &nbsp;I installed just k&amp;n cone intake (no tubing), a cat back exhaust and she runs amazing. &nbsp;The system will definiatly improve driver enjoynent.

But keep I mind. &nbsp;If you install a wing you are adding weight. &nbsp;And if you put on 17&quot; rims, be perpaired to loose time off the line. &nbsp;This car without an intake and exhaust will be even more sluggish with big rims.

So stick with one, and ready your car for the wing and rims. &nbsp;Because all that stuff looks much better when it is not being viewed through your opponents rear view mirror.

[masterk]

hey konkman, what kind of turbo are you gonna put on???

[konkman]

I'm looking at a Nsport stage one kit. &nbsp;All I need now is a clutch, little brake and suspension work and I'm set...

...for now.
