So the tC is in the shop ATM getting the parts installed i recently ordered...

So far:
Alpine audio system
window tint
neons/interior&exterior
kaminari full body kit
kaminari spoiler
diablo racing 18" rims
bodykit foglights
HID headlights
tein s-tech lowering springs
red brake calipers


So i was just wondering in everyones opinion what i should do next...
I'm either thinking put a little $ into strut and sway bars and also a little $ into more visuals(seats,interior,kaminari hood) along with an exhaust and a CAI.

OR

Should i keep saving my money,leave the tC the way it is modded already, and get the Stage 0 ZPI turbocharger, with the intercooler, a/t upgrade, etc...(with an exhaust)

If anyone has other suggestions please feel free to mention them.
Thanks

 

did it warm up already? I thought you were waiting for everything to be installed. like the body kit.

 

It's in the shop now, just wanted to get a feel of what i would be going for next...

 

i vote you save for the turbo, i mean, you've got the "show", now it's time for some of the "go"!

 

true...it's just SO expensive
wishing i had more money(or the parts were cheaper)

 

at least you agree! that's the first step to actually buying it! lol! go go go!

 

i say do suspension. hotchkis sway bars. they are cheap and effective and you can install them yourself!

 

gotta have the go with show.

 

I would finish your "show"part of it first, then upgrade the "go"later.

 

damn thats alot of stuff

 

I would save for turbo. But if you wanna keep putting stuff in, be my guest. Cough* turbo*

 

Well, i'm going to have most of the "show" done by tomorrow or saturday...
It'll turn heads, it's not going to have the whole interior/exterior completely modified...

The ZPI Stage 0 Turbo is the cheapest i could find alltogether, including the intercooler, kit, BOV, install, gauges/monitors, and of course i'll need a better exhaust(HKS or ZPI)

If anyone has found a Turbo(for an automatic) that's cheaper let me know ASAP...
Like i said, the turbo is VERY VERY expensive which i won't really be able to afford anything else in the long run...if i were to get the turbo it would completely empty my pocket, which i can't do.

Thanks for everyone's opinions, i'm pretty sure i'm going to go with some suspension for now(strut and sway bars),probably an exhaust, and grab some custom seats or something along those lines...

I'll wait until my car is at least a year old or so to put a turbo in,lol


Thanks again.

 

post some pix of ur car....i want to see what it looks like.

 

car is in the shop til thurs/fri

ill have pix then

 

how easy is the hokints install, I'm about to order a strut tower bar, are they all the same, I'm going to buy something in the next couple of days..........so Im searching, found this thread using the search function!!

 

Turbo!

 

This is an easy one in my eyes

 

if i had the money i would in a second, for the turbo i'll have to wait until late summer probably.

 

Exactly what I was thinking....

 

go for the turbo, only a few more months, just keep telling yourself that
