After my 3s swap, I will have a little over a grand to play with. If you guys havent noticed I will need a paint job. To be honest I am in no rush to get my car painted right now, because I will still need the gt-four raiser blocks and front and rear splitters. And of course to compliment the paint job some jdm tails and hopefully by the end of summer jdm projectors.

What should I do with the grand left over? Should I just go ahead and get my car painted?

I was thinking about using the grand on buying an aem uego and a safc II. I know these are just toys, but they will come in handy.

Or should I just get a lsd for my transmission?

Or should I just finish up my suspension plans getting some suspension techniques sway bars and the TRD 3pt strut bar on ebay, since that one guy on the forum whos supposed to be making 3 pt strut bars just dipped and hasn't updated with any info what so ever on his progress.

Let me know. I've asked like everyone about what I should do wit hthe grand and they have no clue. Every thing I have listed is what I have planned on getting done by the end of this year.

Yeah, but I heard that the st205 hood center vent wasn't even designed for air to flow into the intercooler. I'm not too worried about my tranny. If anything happens I'll just convert the awd tranny supllied with the swap to fwd and use the lsd in that, unless the mr2-s lsd won't work with the e153 tranny. I'm not in a rush to get all this done, I just want my swap up and running. Once it is I will be fairly happy. I've gone for over a month bumbing off of people for rides.

Now the toys like the safc and the wideband isn't a must.
The lsd isn't a must.
The seats aren't a must either, but I do have rips up the hunan.
Suspension not really, but it would be nice. FMIC, not until I start pushing more out of the motor.

I just need someones opinion. To be honest the LSD stands out a lot. But you did make a good point about how my car should be running trouble free first, then start spending money on it.
