MyCal with Stage 5 tune
Meth Kit
EBC Stage 5 brake kit
170 thermostat
Springs.

And then sell my SCT tuner. Any other left over money, would go towards more parts for my Turbo ZX14.

The zx14 isnt fast enough already lol.
Zx10 was enough for me

Its going back for more boost next week...
But theres still other stuff I want to do to it, like better brakes!! lol

Since I have most mods, and 2 sets of wheels, I would spend it on wine to put in my mouth!

That would just about cover me for 2014!

A wine man, an particular favorites.  My uncle ( who will be joining our group soon here) has been trying to get me into it

I like reds, and anything that meets my tastes that's under $10.!!!!

I'd have to go cat less dp's, 170* therm, bigger turbos and meth for now, since I think that'd take up pretty close to the 3k, and a set of stock 18's to throw on for the occasional track day.

Brakes brakes brakes. I would upgrade every aspect of the braking system.  Calipers, Rotors, pads, lines, etc.  Brembos if it could be done.

Thanks a lot jomc!  ;D 

If it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't be flipping out over wheels.   :biggrin:

exactly what i would do, minus the muffler. v6 exhaust sounds are definitely not my thing.

Same here.  If I ever do anything with the exhaust it will be downpipes with cats and X pipe to replace resonator/third muffler.  From there back, stock.

I figure for 3K I can install a turbo 4 and some really big RICE ROCKET Mufflers!!!  Won't be fast any more but will SOUND FAST!!!!
