its not a lot but ive got roughly $500 laying around and im not sure what to buy.....things i want:

RRM Magna Flow axel back or GReddy Evo2 axel back
RRM header/downpipe
RRM CF front lip
RRM CF hood
RRM blacked tails
RRM mouter mounts
RRM intake mani
RRM piggy ecu
Apex'i NEO A/F controller

.....::cough cough:: lots of RRM products ::cough cough::

the only thing is, i also need to account for shipping and handling AND i can definately afford the intake mani but i doubt i could do the install myself, the header/downpipe combo probably wouldnt do much without an exhaust (?), the piggy might not be any use until i have h/dp and exhaust and then id have to have it dyno'd which is more money, and the A/F controller might not do much until i have atleast an exhaust (?)

soo im not sure what to do. i told myself when i got this car i was going to go back and forth with each part i buy, ie. performace, visual, performance, visual, etc...my last buy was the injen cai.

any suggestions

*EDIT* i just ordered a set of 17" Tenzo-R Passion 5's in black with polished lip earlier today

 

Mounts and some suspension parts, IMO.

 

mounts annnnd rear lower tie bar perhaps?

 

For $500, I would say mounts, sway bar, and perches.

 

I would do exhaust so you do the piggy next. Get the magnaflow!

 

i heard the magna flow sounds a little raspy, i heard a sound clip on youtube of someones RA with it and it sounded a little too raspy for me but for the price i guess its a good buy. and evo greddy evo2 is well, its a greddy evo2 lol my friend has it on his and it sounds soo sexy hahahah

soo right now ive got one for suspension and handling..and one for exhaust/engine performance

 

RRM swaybar and perches + motor mount, after headers/DP !

 

It will only sound raspy if you have a dp w/no cat. If you are still stock, it will wound fine.

Since you only have $500, and can't do the whole exhaust, then I'd do what Otter recommended. Get the sway bar + perches and motor mounts. Then save for some nice rims + tires. Not sure what you're running now, but I might even get tires first if you are still on stockies...

 

ya... I'd agree as well, but get the lower tie bar in there with the sway bar/perches and be done with it...for the price you can't go wrong.

 

I think im in the same boat as him. Want to go engine wise on my car but dont really know what to get.

 

well i JUST placed an order for a set of black with polished lip, Tenzo-R Passion 5's ...

they should be here by friday...soo the $500 is what i have left.....

 

First off, you need to let us know whether you want show or go. I read you said you keep bouncing around, but it would really help if you could pick between the two. If not, just go next buy: Show. Next buy: Go. Next buy: Show and etc, etc, etc.
This right there is roughly $520, so if you want to go show, your limited alot more than go.

 

well i want the go but id like to have some show...the only more show i have planned for the car is the blacked tails, cf lip, and cf hood....those are the only other visuals left for me to tackle and they are a definate whether its now or later. i think ill go with the handling, im leaning towards that a bit, then again a nice axel back evo2 would be nice but i cant find a price for an axle back one

 

I dont know. The little bottle neck in the downpipe is a pain in the butt. I recommend you get rid of that. Really let your engine exhale better. You already got the intake, go w/ the header downpipe for 500 bucks.

 

What size and what tires?! Please don't tell me 18's!!!
