Default What would you do! read xtra

alright...i'm really bored at work and i've been thinking about this for awhile now and i've been asking what my friends would do in this situation.

i'm collecting my insurance money maybe in a month from a accident. some guy hit me pretty bad so i have a pretty good check thats coming in. The question is....

TURBO or JDM front end!

i've been thinking about this for a very long time. i like both...i'm trying to think what would be better. i've always wanted a jdm front end conversion. i'm really close to doing doing that rather than going fast. what do you guys think?

Pay off some bills then invest the majority of the cash and make some mo money on it, then do what you would like. Just don't **** it away, when there is an oppertunity to make mo money somewhere.

thats the thing....i would like to do both. its kinda frustrating too. hehe oh...i'm up to date on bills. heheh i don't have much to pay for. thats why i think i'm pretty lucky. i don't have a credit card. the only thing i have to worry about right now is my phone bill and thats nothing.

if you've already converted your gsr to usdm ITR, you are spending too much on appearance already...wut you really need is a TURBO

JDM front end is purty, but it's something that I'd personally would only do if I had tons of money left over after I had completed all engine/tranny/suspension mods. Therefore, I'd recommend just go turbo

i changed everything. hehe basically....only thing i'm missing is the JDM wind guards (picking them up tomorrow) and JDM front end. hehe

i was considering NA. for NA i was thinking b20 block with upgraded internals. i havn't really looked into it but turbo is so SWEET! hahaha

JDM front = that much more of a theif magnet.

Personally, if I had to spend the money on my car, I'd get the block resleeved to 84.5mm, have the head worked and throw in some cams.

Otherwise, I'd probably just fix the car and buy a new guitar or something.
