so i am sittin here pinchin off a nice loaf and i got to pondering about something. if you had 10 grand and wanted to do something to your every day vehicle what would you do? the only three things i can think of that i would even care to have would be. none of mine below would even sniff a grand so 10 grand was just a random number.
1. back up camera. my trailers are a pain in the ass to hook up because you can not lift or move them by hand.
2. HD radio. Any one got it or know if it is worth the cost?
3. air conditioned seats

what would you do? i think the back up camera and HD radio are on my radar anyway.

id probably buy 3 of my everyday vehicle

6/19/2008 8:47:40 PM

hmmm... 10 grand would get me a nice roots blower setup on the marauder, with full exhaust, gears, good tuning, etc.... and still leave a grand or 2 to blow on gas


if i did the civic... i'd sell it and buy a newer shitbox

6/19/2008 8:52:57 PM

hd radio is awesome here in DC area. clear reception + x2 or x3 more programming on same channels. you can actually hear the difference in fidelity when the radio is clickin in fom analog to hd mode, even with the shitty factory speakers. think HDTV difference. commercials are still there though

so its ok to make threads like these but when OPEII makes car threads and posts a lot of info, links, and images its not ok?

6/19/2008 9:08:50 PM

yeah, I'd sawzall the fenders on the jeep, put on some cheap mudtires and beat it like a red headed step child. then I'd spend the rest on hookers and blow.

exactly

i'd go for a biodiesel setup, free fuel ftw

6/19/2008 9:49:12 PM

22"

6/19/2008 9:52:11 PM

I wouldn't spend $10,000 on the GS-R. Of course it if there was no choice I would:

-fix the ABS
-fresh repaint of the original color
-Jackson Racing Supercharger
-replace all the bushings with urethane pieces
-fix the AC
-coilovers if anything's left over

That'd make for a pretty good track beater I imagine.

6/19/2008 9:56:18 PM

carputer and fix some of the dents

pocket the rest

6/19/2008 10:20:15 PM

so do we have to put $10K towards our DD?

in that case, i would get a new bumper and hood.
hmm. and probably a swap. i cant think of anything else after the bumper and hood

6/19/2008 10:26:13 PM

fenders to clear 275/40-17 tires
stage 3 turbo kit
big brakes
koni da + gc sleeves and some 325/250 springs and some 600/700 springs

or on the other car....

turbo kit
fender flares and some hacking
3.9 torsen
roll bar and seat/harness
a good DA suspension w/ 700/550 springs

6/19/2008 10:43:26 PM

Stage 2 SC + Widebody

Yep. That about sums it up.

(Realistically, if 10k fell into my lap for an automotive expense I'd probably just pay off the loan...but that's no fun.)

6/19/2008 11:29:48 PM

10k would build me a nice engine...

6/20/2008 12:15:30 AM

For $10k I could buy 6-10 e30's (based on previous experience.)

[Edited on June 20, 2008 at 12:43 AM. Reason : l]

6/20/2008 12:43:38 AM

either:

prolly zanardi suspension / type r suspension, tires, wheels, sway bars and in dash navigation


or


for the 4runner, id get a 3.9 cummins turbo diesel, nv4500, dual np205 transfer cases

6/20/2008 1:07:08 AM

did I miss something? When did you get an NSX?!

6/20/2008 1:09:35 AM

couple of yrs ago

6/20/2008 1:14:16 AM

i guess i should have made it like 2k not 10k. hearing more good stuff about hd radio makes me want to do it. i am going to start looking into it today.

6/20/2008 7:09:43 AM

TRD supercharger - $4K

but i dont need it to consume any more gas at the moment.

6/20/2008 7:26:13 AM

240sx: too much stuff to list, but basically centered around making it more livable and nicer-looking

'02 maxima:
factory aero + splash guards
electric cutout
replace speakers
new wheels
tint

'01 cavalier z24
new dash piece next to windshield (original is randomly shattered into pieces from normal driving)
fix HVAC controls so speeds 1 and 2 actually work
new driver's side mirror
muffler that matches the car
stock suspension (currently on sportlines and konis; not my doing)

6/20/2008 9:25:06 AM

slownig would pay off a judge to get his license, then go get drunk, drive around and kill people

6/20/2008 9:46:58 AM

shut your cockhole fagg. seriously quit boogering up the forums with your idiot talk everyone is fucking tired of it.

6/20/2008 9:58:04 AM

Wow... $10k?

I'll make the list...

Bilstein Front Right and Left valved 600/190.
Bilstein Rear Shock pair valved 565/218.
Hypercoil 2.25" Front & Rear Springs.

I've already priced the complete suspension rebuild/makeover, including rims and tires, at around $7,500. I should be able to find a 951S tranny for $2,500.

God my car handles like shit right now...

6/20/2008 10:54:36 AM

I'd buy:

The overide so I can watch video ipod on the screen while driving (non-gps 07 G35s)
A new 160gig video ipod

Maybe another set of stock 18" rims, but I'd get them powdercoated flat black
Maybe a paint the grill black or find some kind of option
Paint the little chrome spoiler black
I'd need to see it all in photoshop to see what I like.

Then I'd 14k of premium unleaded.

6/20/2008 11:49:09 AM

an anti-nigger force field

6/20/2008 12:33:57 PM

^ if you could make them and sell them for 50k you would still sell them faster than you could make them. damn niggers

6/20/2008 2:24:48 PM

for 10 grand you could convert it to electric

Not saying I would do that to my daily driver, but you can do it with 10 grand

6/20/2008 4:07:35 PM

rims
get some high-end stereo and navigation equipment
two chicks at once

HAHA, responses like that make it worth while to "booger" up the forums.

6/20/2008 6:04:57 PM

on the daily driver? fix the tint, get it repainted (even though it doesn't really need it), and save the rest for gas.

6/20/2008 6:50:59 PM

"-Jackson Racing Supercharger"

did they finally make one for the B17A? i thought the master cylinder was in the way?

6/20/2008 7:19:25 PM

They did not. I've been told the firewall interferes, to make it fit you have to move it or rotate the engine a bit. But with $10k I figure I could make it happen

6/20/2008 11:05:11 PM

fuck that. i'd install a damn vortech!!
