Default How to spend $3,500 on tC?

Ok well I got my '06 BSP tC a few weeks ago and miraculously just over $3500 dropped into my lap. What mods would you guys do to your tC? The only thing from the factory I have are side airbags and a pedestal spoiler. Go WILD BOYS!!!! (and girls)

If it landed in my lap, I'd use it to pay down the loan a little quicker. If my car was paid for, I'd add it to the house down-payment fund. If I just had to spend it on the car, I'd get a turbo, flywheel, drive shaft, sports tuned transmission, etc.

use it to help pay off the car and refinance. Otherwise get a spoiler and a supercharger.

Get a turbo with the next bunch of money you get. after they have been out for a while and you can find a reliable one.

That is my plan

that amount paid early in future car or insurance payments (just in case life hands you a blow and dad can't cover you).

otherwise, if you must live for today (hehe)....

get the eclipse 5495 due out soon...(the 5495 is not on the site yet but the specs as i understand are as follows):

• CD, CD-R/RW, MP3 and DVD-Video
• 6.5 TFT Display with touch control
• 30 GB HDD 10 GB for Navigation
• HDD Navigation with telephone search
• Music Juke (ATRAC3 encode/decode)
• CDDB-enabled to access CD title and track information
• All digital circuitry with advanced 24-bit DA converter
• Circle Surround II with Focus
• High-performance DSP:
• 5-mode soundfield control
• 9-band EQ
• Listening position selector
• 5V preamp output with low 55 impedance
• FM/AM tuner
• Memory Stick-ready
• CD Changer-ready (2 units)
• Rear view camera-ready
• Video output for rear monitors
• E-LAN data link system
• MS ESN security
• Sirius Ready
• HD Ready
• E-ISERV

remember that also with the 5495 you can ground the parking brake and watch dvd's and the nav is much faster than the 5435 because with the 5495 the nav is on the hard drive.

as i understand it, motozen is waiting for his 5495 and he can correct me if i'm wrong.
