So currently i am in Japan for work, and i'll be here until October 25th, well i am still getting my normal paychecks back home on top of them paying me to be here and reimbursing most of what i spend...

So when i get back i should have between $2k-$4k to play with..

Yea i could simply just put it on the payment, but that wont help my credit in the long run, so i was more thinking the modification route.. currently Stance(buy-ins) Coilovers, ZZP 3" catless DP, Powell Rotated mounts and xXx sway bar, and a cut off muffler..

I have narrowed it down to either IC, Charge Pipes, CAI, BPV, and Tune OR all audio, in-dash Nav/DVD, subwoofers, and upgraded speakers/tweeters all around.

I just cant decide... with it coming closer to the colder weather what would my best option be?

I mean i'll have about the same amount to play with come around tax time, but i dont know what side i should put on hold and what i should pull the trigger on when i get home....




Oh and there is the thought of some 2Crave Mach 5 wheels and some new better tires... but meh thats more of a look thing, cause i think the wheels are heavier than stocks....

at least with the performance mods i gain power, and sound mods well i gain way more boom and i like boom....


So what are the thoughts around here? i know there is are people who would go with one over the other so lets chime in eh?

I say when you get home just relax. Those mods are a nice little setup. If you buy the other wheels, sell me your lnf wheels

Yeah, for $2k so you can recoup your money and start the modding all over again.

if i get the wheels i'm keeping the stock boys

but it is a nice set up this far, but i miss the high bass factor i had in my other car when i wanted it ha

My 2 cents- hands down i wouldn't think twice about the airflow mods, you will be happy. The factory sound system is descent so me spending money on that is a waste. I prefer alot of times to not run my radio at all, and just listen to the motor/exhaust, but then again i am old school. I prefer the sound of a well tuned car over anything on the radio. I can listen to the radio when im not in the car. Love the sound of a good tuned exhaust. And the airflow mods will really wake your car up with a tune, and to me that puts more of a smile on your face than music. To each his own.

I would not add rotational weight to the car with the wheels. If you are tired of the looks of the factory wheels you may try polishing them like others have, they look really nice. Check out Wert's polished wheels, they look different.

How about zfr upgrade?

GreenySC2

ehh hah i dont need bigger turbo at the moment i havent maxed the k04's possibilities yet...

So i have settled on the fact i am going to get a double din NAV unit, but whats the best one for my buck?

i only ask that its NAV, XM(Sirius), and has a knob for volume....

I like pioneer products. Had no luck with alpine

GreenySC2

i've only ever had Dual or Pioneer per headunits, never had a double din screen though...

i'll most likely add a rear view camera for fun... and my windows are crazy dark hah

i would put the money in the engine bay and a tune. looks alot better, but im also someone who would prefer to listen to the engine and exhaust over music any day

GreenySC2

oh parts and a tune for sure, but i'm not going to do any of that in the fall/winter i'll stock up the parts and such to do all that in the spring...

I have an Avic D3 and i love it. has a Volume Knob ( which i also wanted) if you can swing it i would reccomend a Z3. the D3 is a disc nav, the Z3 is a Harddrive nav.

im with the others. YYZ's, Hardcore bar, and a few bolt ons.
