just bought a 2002 si now what ??

[02situner]

i have about 1k to spend on stuff for my new toy. what should my priorities be and where is the cheapest place to get the stuff? by the way i bought a white one.

I would buy some lowering springs first, that is your #1 priority with this car, next would be some bigger wheels/tires.

After that it's up to you, I love the type-r spoiler.

yeah, i'd say drop it first. wait for your engine to break in before you start modding the engine. you came in at a good time because not only did you get your car alot cheaper than some of us, but you now have better aftermarket choices. it's not super, but it is alot better than it was 7 months ago. so yeah drop it then get rims if you want. work the suspension right now if you are into that. have fun man.

ok what lowering springs should i get. and where is the cheapest place to get them? i dont want to go to low with it though my mr2 is realy low and a pain in the ass sometimes.

[IceD out N CALI]

i'd drop it on some nuespeed race springs. 2 1/4 inch drop looks nice and pretty cheap. dont worry about it being low like your mr2, our cars sit way high stock. that drop car sits average. i got them from tornactive's website for $155:)

A modest drop from a set of lowering springs (Eibach, Sprint, and Progress are good names) and a cat-back exhaust (I have the HKS but there are systems from Thermal R&D, Greddy and soon from Borla). This should run you close to $1,000 after shipping/tax.:)

[02TafWhtSi]

You know on second thought you may have some extra change left over. Better get a nice set of PIAA "H4" headlight bulbs and a set of Si floormats if you haven't already:)

How about you figure out what your priorites are instead of being told what they should be. That way you will be happier with what you do

Maybe you should try to enjoy it stock first. ;)

Progress is very good, if you want to get a nice setup then go with them.

Tein springs 190 @ www.garagespl.com

save the rest till YOU decide what u want:D

[icegrill]

Trade it in for a VW TDI:rolleyes: Just kidding. Tint it, red h's upgrade the lights, optional silver engine cover. Better tires?

[fsugatorbait]

Get the eibach sportlines, camber kit, intake of choice, jdm emblems, tint, see how much you have left over and put it towards the first big purchase you plan to make, exhaust, rims...etc.

[LordKoo]

save your money and wait for the supercharger or turbocharger kit!

[Mugen_EP]

If your worried about ride height why not go w/ Groud Control coilovers. That way it will sit exactly how you want it and you can always adjust if you get a kit,lip, or rims in the future. As for the rest, it's all preference after that!!!!

Over all just have fun with it!
