Lightbulb Play with this thought!

Well... You have just bought yourself a new FQ330 but you want more... Totaly you had a budget of about 90 000$ but after buying your FQ330 you anly have about 30 000$ left...

What would you buy, more hp and more control of course. But since you all seem to know what you are doing and I don't... I would like to know what you all would do...

Please post price and name, what it does etc. of what you buy... maybe also the end sum for all parts...

ok well if you have a 330 and you dont know what your doing then i hate you.....


J/K i wish i were you


anyways with 30k i would do a full tein suspension, cams, turbo (maybe a green if it comes out for the evo, if not then maybe a T3-T4, T4, or a T66), full 3-4" exhaust, intake, intercooller, fuel system, clutch, flywheel, dunno if the FQ comes with a front diff or not if not then one of those, if it doesnt come with a variable center diff then one of those also... if it comes with all of thes then maybe hardened drive train parts to handle the stress of launching with all that power... that is if your planing to drag it

first thing to do is get some proper syspension, like cusco zero2r, and then upgrade your brakes to AP (or other) front and back, then upgrade the clutch to handle more BHP, then spend some money on racing driving lessons and hit the track!!

What the heck do you do for a living?! I've been saving for about 8 months and it will take me 4 more to just be able to put down 20k on a US EVO 8...

You should immediately take your Evo to Norris Designs and let them modify it to 700+ HP. Then you can do 4wd burnouts in third on the highway.

Damn $30k. You can upgrade just about everything on the car and still have money for driving school. Also, you said you had $90k and now you have $30k after fq330. Are they $60k across the pond? Search this site. There are alot of knowledgable people/vendors who have posted reviews on most every part you can buy for the EVO. Research, research, research!!!

I'd say if taxes arent so bad in importing parts from here in the US.... I'd say buy parts from here and you could get the FULL PACKAGE. If you went through UK, you would probably have to spend 50% more then what you would spend here. 30k would get you almsot everything that you would need from engine to chassis.

Last I checked Dinan was only making 470bhp on their S2 M5 and that's for $27k on top of $70k for the base M5 [not including labor]

I'd buy about $20k of driving schools, track days, etc. and then about $10k of "stuff" for the car.
