Hi guys,
So I'm getting a bit tired of pouring money into my ST (just dropped $1.5k on a sound system, and still not satisfied). After all the $$$ that I've put into her, I realize that I still need probably another 20K to make her "perfect". The list just goes on and on...damn, so many choices! What to do!?! Blah, enough of my whining. Anyways, on to the point of this thread. So what do guys think I should do next? I'm only going to spend another $3000 max on my car (I say that now, but...). So of the following choices, which do you think should me the "final" upgrade on my Cecilia? 1) Engine swap (yeah, I know it'll end up costing me more than 3K... ) 2) Redo my exterior (new paint, carbon hatch, fix all dings/dents/rust, neons lights) 3) Redo my interior (sparco seats, racing steering wheel, car computer) 4) Performance upgrades: lowering springs, strut bars, rear brake conv, big brake kit, projectors, and exhaust system...also going to be >3K Damn...she's gonna end up costing me more than a freakin' Supra!

Okay, I think I'm going to "fix" the minor dings/dents and stuff like that on my car and go with the projectors and a rear-disc conversion. This way, at least my exterior will look unblemished (damn drums are annoying to look at!).
So besides waiting for someone to part out their GT (for the brakes), how else could I do this? Is it worth it to get the parts from a dealer? Or should I search for (and buy) a donor car instead? I figure buying a GT will last me a lifetime in spare parts for my ST. LOL, just realized how stupid that sounded -------------------- 2002 SC430 (WC) - 19" SSR Comp-H, Daizen swaybars, Sparco Demons, JDM Soarer conversion, carbon fiber spoiler, Injen intake, front strut bar, drilled/slotted Brembo rotors 1997 Celica ST (DD) - 17" ADR, ViS Zyclone CF hood, ViS CF hatch, K&N intake, Invader body kit |
