which one would you do first?

Joon525 · 03-19-2002, 11:39 AM

function.....and this is way I HAVE done it but that's just me.
(Put off most of the cosmetic stuff last)

hummm... i feel like im repeating myself from another bbs, but do the TEIN HA's first, then get some decent tires for your stock wheels (or get new wheels/and some good tires).

next up is your intake, exhaust, then vafc.

then i guess you can think about a lip spoiler and some window tint, etc.

For me it's all form first. If you don't got form, you don't have proper function (what the hell am I saying?)

I'm doing Tein HA first to lower car
Then RS Kit
JDM Fogs
HU, system

I think I'm going to drive/race stock

you are kenchan, you are...

kenchan · 03-19-2002, 01:05 PM

hahaha.

function over fashion..... all day... everyday.....

To me... the worst thing is a car that looks cool and run 16's or 17's.... I'd much rather have my car look stock or even like **** and run 13's.....

Function...You're the one driving it and enjoying the performance. Save the pretty stuff for later

1st buy stock in carbon fiber use the dividends to mod your lude

Dragonmotorspor · 03-20-2002, 10:11 AM

just to bump this up i would like to get more people opinions, also someone help me remember when is the standard warrenty over? is it 36,000 mile/3 years?

kenchan · 03-20-2002, 12:17 PM

funny you should mention that... many chicks have complimented my wrx.

and for your info, these were babes, not some cheezy rice girls. hehehe.

my lude gets more compliments though. its just a sleeker lookin car... but the saddest thing i've seen was a totally dressed up lude with a loud exhaust getting wasted by a stock IS300.

What the hells up with you and cf...!??!?!???

SweetGurlRacer · 03-20-2002, 02:58 PM

I guess some form first cause the ludes come with a pretty good stock function and form is needed so you can be orginal and stand out a bit from other stock ludes. Then you can start doing function.
