$1500 what to do with it?

[Pradamuimui]

I have $1500 to spend on my EP3. So what should I do with it? Anyone have any ideas?

[SilverEpInDc]

If ur looking at any body work... Id go towards a Type R wing or a kit...

[DavidT]

Buy Hondata for you and me!

that all depends on what you have done to your car and what you want to do with your car.

If your looking for the performance, N20, i/h/e will run you about 1500 and put you around 200 whp. (or n2o and hondata with i/e)

If you want looks, some sweet ass 18" with decent rubber will be between 1000-1400, then you could drop on tein springs from showstoppers for around another 100.

But, best yet... save your money, get about a 1000 more, and go for a basic turbo setup.


the most important thing you have to decide is; if you want to look fast, or go fast... Good luck.

you only need 500 more for a nice turbo....

yah, what do you want do to your car/what have you done?

if it's totally stock, i'd say coilovers ($1k ish) and then
exhaust/intake.

if you already have intake/exhaust/springs, then hondata, for sure.
and while you are close to getting a turbo, once you get a turbo,
you'll want more boost (i.e. and a new clutch), so there's other
expenses (tuning, dyno time, afc, boost controller) that go along
with that.

Yeah; tell us what you have already and what you are looking to get out of your car...style, performance (straight line, autox, road, daily)..etc etc

We'll be happy to help you spend that money if you can't find anything you want/need!! :D

If you have lowered it yet, do it, 9 bills for a Tein Basic. 5 lefted over, 3 bills to get a Type-R replica spoiler, that's the painted price. 2.5-3 bills left, get some OEM fog light, or some Piaas. Whatever change you got left, go pay someone to do some detail cleaning. hehe, there goes 15 bills.

Teins, very useful.
Spoiler, doesn't make the car look like a Focus.
Fog lights, they help with night vision by alot.

type-s head swap, its about $1200 but if you want a one mod killer, the type-s swap would put you around 200hp.
With i/h/e would put you about 200whp.
