So i just sold my old rims and i got $700 back.

I'm a bit torn on what to spend the money on. There are a things that i want to get for sure, but i'm not quite sure the order (if there is any) in which to do it.


clazzio seat covers: $245

strup cat-back exhaust: $320

Tanabe nf springs: $200

Axis Apex rims (no tires): $649

Viper 5901 2 way sec/remote start: $499

ps3 slim (my 60gb broke last month): $299


I wanted to get rims first, but then i still need to save money on tires so that's a mod that won't be done for a while. while i could get the clazzios and an exhaust and would be able to put that on right away.

what do you guys suggest? and please..no thread jacking! just wanted to get some different opinions on what some modders would do.

 

Springs & exhaust; better handling, better looking, better sounding, a little better performance... win, win, win, win.

 

will it affect the springs if they are on stocks and then i get rims later down the road?

just takes time for it to settle i guess?

 

I've heard that springs don't really "settle". I've been on my Eibachs without any "settling" occurring, so I don't know. I guess they're progressive springs, so maybe that's why they don't settle. Clarify this with someone who is an expert, though.

Anyway, here is my vote:

1. PS3: Considering that you have a PS3, you are obviously a gamer. And if you do not have a secondary system to use (such as a Wii, etc.), then you need to purchase another PS3. Video games are extremely important. There is no other option. This takes precedence above all else.

2. Springs, then Tsudo exhaust.

This is important because you're going to get a lowered car and you'll be sporting a dual exhaust (and the Tsudo is by far the most attractive one I've seen with the best sound that is far from ostentatious). The rims can come later, because everyone will notice you're lowered and that you have a sweet exhaust set up. Plus, this will give you time to contemplate whether or not the Apex wheels are the ones you want.

 

Springs settle a great deal. Coilovers are the ones that don't settle.

Like CIONICE said, springs and exhaust. I vote Hotchkis springs and Tsudo dual exhaust.
You'll be happy as a clam.

 

if i were you i'd get some leather interior. but thats just me.
thats my next mod on the box but i want beige . :ninja:

 

He has nothing though, leather should be down the line, unless you get it straight from the dealer. :D

 

with 700 theres not much you can do. i'd do springs and leather. then save for some nice wheels. or just get coilovers from the get. cant go wrong im not a fan of an exhaust unless im planning on doing performance mods.

 

Exhaust iz naice!

 

I still vote on the PS3...

Not necessarily. I measured my NF210 drop 100 miles after installing the springs, and they haven't "settled" a single bit since taking that measurement 59k miles ago.

Strup & Tsudo are both great exhaust systems that include the mid-pipe between the scuba tank & the axle back. It really boils down to whether you want a single or dual look. Personally I like the single look of the Strup, unless you plan on getting a 5Axis lip kit in the future. Since the Tsudo dual exhaust is designed to line up the pipes with the dual openings on the 5Axis rear lip, I think that set-up looks the best.

 

What's wrong with your ps3? The blu Ray laser went out on mine and I got it replaced for $100. That can save you some money there.

 

Thanks for all the feedback.

I will be going with the strup for sure. I don't have a body kit and i don't plan on it. plus, i like the single look better anyways.

as for the ps3, i got the yellow rings and it has been the 2nd time i've had to fix it. so im done putting money into a machine that i could get brand new now.

I want something that i can see right away. so most likely, it will be the strup and springs OR clazzios.

i been on stock long enough.

but i'm getting quotes on rims right now

 

Keep in mind with the Clazzio seat covers, that unless you step up to the "suede type" inserts or the perforated leather inserts, the whole seat cover is just plain old PVC vinyl.

 

i like the whole pvc seat. looks clean but deff needs soemthign like the quilted look on it or something. the only thing that is whack is the quilted headrests. thats what stops me from getting them

What does PVC vinyl feel like? I don't think I've ever sat on that before (that's what she said).

 

its synthetic leather, it should be a lil harder than regular leather. i guess.
