wow, i'm broke again.

***unplugged*** · 03-15-2007, 08:38 PM

Just spent my entire paycheck on mods. I've been doing good actually with modifications. I had the car since October 2006. Since then, I had only done HID's, audio setup, winter tires, and Si rear sway bar.

Today, I ordered the TWM short shifter with both bushings, Si front sway bar and bushings, K&N 69 Series Typhoon Intake System, EBC GreenStuff front and rear pads, and PowerSlot front/rear rotors.

I will be ordering stainless steel brake lines as well. That should compliment my brake setup since the front pads are almost worn after 25,000 miles. Yet, I have that much mileage in just over a year!

I will probably be upgrading my audio setup a bit and possibly ordering a set of springs/shocks, and summer rims/tires. Other than that, i'm done with mods for the EX.

Total estimate spending in mods (stuff I already have or will have).I'm not looking for speed as this is an EX. I just want something with improved handling, better gas mileage, and a powerful and clear audio system.

HID's - 400
Winter Tires - 550
Summer Tires - 600
Summer Rims - 800
Short Shifter - 120
Intake - 150
Brakes - 500
Springs - 200
Shocks - 550
Audio - 200 + 400 + 350

***m1k3*** · 03-15-2007, 09:06 PM

1400 for 18" cr kais with the red lug nuts and red stickers

and i know, my package still hasn't arrived yet, but las i heard they just cleared customs so can't be much longer...

hoanger · 03-15-2007, 11:20 PM

yeah at the beginning of feb, I contacted the shop and he said "they should be here first week of march!"
nothing
first week of march, i ask again.. he said "any day now.. I'd say another week"
it is currently march 15, and still nothing. he said he'll check the freight on monday, and nothing.
poor poor service.
I feel kind of ripped off.... haha i hope it comes soon.

LOL! I'm pretty anal about keeping my car clean
you'll never find hair, crumbs or anything.. let alone a penny in my car.
I wish though ahaha

06sicoupe · 03-16-2007, 12:06 AM

all wheels being imported from japan (especially works and volks) are being shipped on same freight. ...at least thats waht mackin industries tell me.

hoanger · 03-16-2007, 12:25 AM

doesnt it depend on the date you ordered though?
It doesnt make sense if one dude ordered it in oct 06 and i ordered jan 07...

projectprelude · 03-16-2007, 12:46 AM

holy crap...did you get all that at once?
