Did you take care of you exteririor before your engine or what?

I know I need tires bad.. So im looking to just get new rims and tires all in one shot. Because I dont want to get 4 new tires for my stock rims then in a couple months buy new rims and tires.

I did my engine first, but I like running the stockies anyway. If you need tires and want rims, then yeah go for that first.

i have always seemed to do exterior first,,,but now i kinda regret it i think you should do engine first,,,,you'll prett much have a sleeper, and then just do all your exterior work

First thing I did was my Short Ram intake. Then I got my header, then my exhaust.

3. suspension
a. lowering springs
b. shocks
c. camber kit
d. rims

suspension has been my most expensive mod so far, and intake was my cheapest. so as money becomes available, buy watever fits in your budget.

Depends on you.

If you don't race your car alot and just drive it for fun and enjoy.

go for the rims and tires. and bodykits maybe (exterior but no rice please)

If you always get tempted to smoke somebody.

then go with engine mod.

1. intake
2. header + exhaust (do it together)
3. strut bars

Done and wait.

Start it out right with a JDM

SLICK96

WELCOME What I did first was the following:

-Koni yellow struts
-Neuspeed Sport Springs
-Neuspeed strut tower bar
-HKS SMF intake
-Neuspeed short shifter adapter
-Momo c/f-look cobra shift knob
-Greddy SP catback exhaust
-DC ceramic headers
-1500 dollars in stereo equipment

... All in 2-3 weeks time. I had a 20 G loan, and spent it all pretty quick, including my car, for 16 G's, out the door.

I'd recommend you doing your suspension & basic bolt ons first, before making the car look cute. I've gotten plenty of phone numbers from girlies w/ my car in stock trim, so don't worry about making your car look like a transformer w/ really sparkly paint, or anything like that...IN MY OPINION. Suspension is something that can end up saving your life, if you drive like crazy, so do it first, IMO.

i had to get my 18's first because one of my tires blew out shortly after i bought the car and i wasnt willing to replace the tire when i was planning on getting rims in the future...so i made the future the present and bought the rims. i still think it was my best purchase

Thanks for all the replies ....
LudedudeSi I would be more than happy to sell you my stockies when I get my rims.

Im getting like 4k back from my income tax so I was actually debating if I want to get a turbo slapped on since I have the h23.
