Default If you could start all over??????????

if you could start all over, back for modding ur teg...
what upgrades would you have done...I know we've all bought a few almost useless mods...
so going on strictly performance...what mods would u do?

NA/Turbo?
I/H/E?
cams, headwork?
ignition?
suspension?

sure i just listed the major basics, just trying to get an idea from u guys what i should do to the gsr...it's still bone stock!!! and i hate it
going for best bang for the buck...
not gonna get too far being poor tho

If I could do it all over again I would have fuggen signed up for the waiting list for a ITR instead of just taking the stupid slow *** red gsr they had on the lot. "oo leather"

a decision i regret everyday.

if i could start over i wouldn't have spent all my money on useless crap like food and clothes and went straigh for the turbo set-up instead of messing around and buying crap that i ended up selling in the end for turbo parts.

would have saved for turbo instead of wasting my money on I/H/E. Would have waited a month for my wheels because eveything got cheap right after I got them.
Would have also bought RS door handles sooner.

I would of saved the my money I bought on my teg and bought an older 5.0 Mustang, worked on the suspension, got a good rear end, and aftermarket full exhaust ( gotta love that sound). With a few mods I would be quicker than any lightly modded teg.

I love tegs, but the whole thievery thing and the high insurance sucks. On top of that, it's front wheel drive.

i think about this everyday. and i am in the process of starting over. OEM jdm front end. 15" regamaster evos. jdm b18cR w/ jun3 and valvesprings,portflow retainers. so many things i would have done differently. but if i started over from the beginning, my motor would be a 2.0 fully built block, drag 3 kit, hondata 2b.
