If you had 1000 dollars to spend on your car what would you get

I have some money coming in thios weekend and I have yet to figure out what to do. I thinking either save the money get some Volk wheels (again), get some Toda Spec B's (+ valve springs and retainers), get a Apex'i Power FC, Get a carbon fiber hood and fix the front end of the car (prev owner never had it fixed properly) and paint the side moldings, or get some coilovers.

I'm kind leaning towards getting a carbon fiber hood and fixing the car. I might be able to get some GSR wheels soon so I won't be hurting to bad for some wheels. I also need suspension bad.

Any opinions or suggestions. I might have over looked something. This for a EG hatchback

Honestly...I would get the car fixed...get the paint work taken care of and out of the way. Get some decent GS-R wheels for now and the save for a good suspension....then upgrade the brakes....Dont worry about the carbon fiber hood yet.

Your car is plenty quick right now so I wouldnt worry about Toda cams just yet

Depends on your objective. If drag racing is your stick. I'd say get a ZEX kit, DC JDM header, and some drag radials.

If it's autocross/road course. Save up for some Teins.

I know what you could do!!!! You could take your technician to the Gentlemen's Club!!!!!! Or you could listen to your technician & buy the stuff you need such as suspension(N1), and the other things that you need (ah ha the voice of reason finally arrives), then once everything is installed we go to the Gentlemens Club. ($10 for bottom, $15 for the top).mmmm Lap Dance but no sex in the Champagne room
