i have a gsi teg with 17s lowered and cat back exhaust.....i will be honest and say that i am new to this modification buisness and am still learning. ATM i knwo f*&k all. So i am wondering whether it would be best to get 4/5k.....put skirts way round the car and put in a supercharger or turbo and all that that would entail......Or save up like 9/10k .... sell my current teg and buy a tye R - weighin up insurance and my little knowledge as im quite worred that i will get screwed over by these tech morons....wat would be the best way to go

much appreciated

 

READ... learn up on stuff...
both ways can get great results.

BUT
make up your mind on what YOU want... performance, looks, a little of both?

If you're looking for both awesome performance AND showworthy looks, get more jobs

 

9-10k is alot of money to save up, and you already have an integra, so I dont think it would be worth it for you. ITR's a good car, and your option would be good for someone who really new about the car and what they wanted from it, but you for you, I would just stick with the car you already have.

4-5k turbo

 

You might want to consider what I'm doing. I was recently in your same situation. I wanted a fun car (knew I wanted an ITR), wanted to do all my own work and do a slow build (easier on the wallet). I bought a theft recovery Type-R a year ago, and have since been reading books, turning wrenches and loving it. This way, by the time you're done getting it nice and restored, you'll know what you want to do with it and how to get it there.

If you have a different car for a daily driver and can dish out another monthly payment, I'd think about it

Then again, you can have plenty of fun with the teg you have now.

 

so what's this.

should you have a gsr and turbo that or buy a close to stock ITR?

i'd go with itr

 

Each way has its advantages and disadvantages. Modding a car (with anything more complicated than simple bolt-ons like headers, exhaust, and intakes) often involves a seemingly endless series of problems that arise, and you have to troubleshoot each one to figure out what's wrong (unless you have a great mechanic who has built many, many other cars and can apply his expertise to avoid problems). Modding a car also is generally less cost-effective; if you had to sell the car, it's rare to recover most of your expenditure on the mods, whereas you can recover most of your additional expenditure if you instead spend it on trading for a higher-performing car. The big advantage of modding is if you actually enjoy the process of modding the car (and, where necessary, troubleshooting those mods to make them work best). And if this is what you think you would enjoy doing, then go for it!
