What should I buy?

I will be getting my tax refund pretty soon. What should I spend it on?


My clutch is 80% gone (I bought it like that).
I need new belts.
Tints.
I also have HKS S-AFR to control Air Fuel ratio but no wideband yet.

So, what should I do?

Is your clutch dying? I'd do belts then WB (UEGO in this case if you're going with the AEM).

Go for the clutch first and do the belts.

Clutch is fine. Like I said 80% is gone. It still grabs fine tough.

OR

Should I get the belts done and 4G93 intake manifold?

Change my vote to belts then clutch. Belts are cheap if he's doing his own labor. If he's paying for labor it could cost a small fortune.

i would go with either the AEM UEGO or the clutch....if your clutch goes and you don't have the cash it isn't to fun. (i did this already haha). then again the pulley and belts is a nice little install and it also covers normal belt maintenance.

I really want the AEM UEGO because I have HKS safr for a while now and can't really take an advantage of it. Clutch, well I know I need it sometime soon but then install is $300.00
Belts are easy to do so I might just do it some other time.

The choice is so hard. I will probably follow whatever the poll will tell me to.

Get a new clutch. You'll be surprised on how slow a bad clutch will make a car. Take it from me, I burnt out my clutch at like 40k miles... Oh and if you like making your car look nice then don't listen to the guys who are all about speed and no show. A little show is a good thing.

I'd go for clutch, then do the pulley at the same time do you do the belts (thats my plan in a year or so). After getting my new clutch my car felt completely different, and a lot faster.

go clutch, might as well do it while you have the money. it would really suck if it went out on you after you spent it on other things you want.
