Default What would u do with 7,000 dollars?

Me and my friends are going to do the alaska fishing trip.... I will come back with money!! Bling Bling.. I don't want to spend it all but, 7000 is the most... (thats sounds like to much...) anyway. My plans are small right now.. What would you do with that much money... My plans right now are somewhat out of tune. Still not quite sure...

Oh yes I have a b18c1

1. Build my motor... (sounds vague{sp?}) but I don't really know where to go. I think I might go turbo. But what are setups for NA to?
2. Finish My hondata, get everything else added to it.
3.Integra brakes all around
4. Rims.. (need them I can't launch very nice with 13's)
5. Header, Exhaust
6. Front lip, maybe some EK sides


What would you guys suggest??

With 7,000 grand you could build up you B18C1 substantially and slap a semi-large turbo on there...and like Paulll said...Say hello to a butload of power.

whoa i don't see how this 7000 dollars arises, you go on a fishing trip and you get 7000 from it? like you sell the fish or something? cause you said you were going to come back WITH the money..
anyway, if i were you, i'd put 5k into some savings/GIC investment thing and just spend 2k into your car, i think your cars good enough and with 2k it would be sensible fast not like stupid fast.

hondata is a must
Gsr brakes sounds like a good item
Get some 15in rotas with very good tires
3in catback w/o cat, you wont need a header since you should go turbo
the front lip and ek sides should not cost more than 300 so you can do that get that out of the way if you need it,

It takes a lot to get big numbers out of a n/a setup, so turbo is the best way. You will also need some suspension, depending on what you want to do, some Coilovers and koni yellows are a good choice, or you can go with some tein full coilovers.


you should do things in this order (imo)
1. Coilover setup
2. Lips and such
3. send you motor off to be built
4. Get hondata
5. buy misc parts
6. put everything together, break in the motor, and get it tuned before you beat on it.

After that, you should have a good amount of power, and be able to run it safe.

IF...i had 7k dedicated to my car with your setup, it would go to:


1. Toda Spec B Cams and valvetrain. (I'm not a turbo guy ) $1400
2. GSR or 96 spec ITR (4x114.3) brakes around $400-$700
3. Comptech Icebox $150
4. Comptech Header $450
5. RS*R exhaust $500
6. Work RSZ*R wheels (15x7) $1400
7. OEM honda optional equipment lip $150
8. TEIN SS coilovers $900
9. JDM OE headlamps $400
10. HID H4 kit $500


You'll have both a well balanced performing fast and good looking car

I dunno about the rest of that stuff... up to you I guess.
