...cause I suck at making decisions.

So basically I have 2 options, help me out here.

Option 1: KW v3 coilovers.

Option 2: Full Race GT35r kit (stock location), with all the goodies. (have to save a bit more for this, not instant pleasure.)

Current state of the car:

Suspension: RCE Yellow springs, stock struts and all bushings, sways, camber plates, blah blah blah.

Engine: Stage 2 protuned with meth kit in the mail.

 

how about go with some forged pistons

 

Blow off valve? yes!

 

I don't want to buid the block just yet. If I do that I may want to do some mild head work at the same time and I'm not sure if I want to invest that much into this car.

 

oh okay, gotcha, I was just thinking if you are wanting to do gt35r, you might as well spend the money on the block first. that was my mistake and wish i could do it all over again. good luck on your build though! its fun ****.

 

I'm not gonna go rotated, its gonna be a 1.5 scroll stock location 35r. I don't want to risk rotated in Commiefornia and I would for sure build the block on a rotated kit. I've talked this through with a few guys and we've all pretty much agreed a good, safe tune should keep the internals in one piece.

I'm prepared to accept if/when something goes wrong, but I kind of want to put my/our theory to test.

 

how about save the money for a rainy day? with job loss the way it is going i would save all that I can right now.

 

Get the KW V3's. I love mine.

 

suspension over turbo...is that even a valid question?!

i should ask...do you like going straight fast or turning fast!

 

I vote save the money!!

 

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I'm getting a really good deal on the KWs, but thats limited time.

If I opted for the turbo, I'd also need injectors, TGV deletes, tune, inlet, etc. so it would take a bit to get the 'fun money' in line for that. I also think the meth kit will push me above 300whp and keep me happy for the time being.

I like both, but as I'm getting older, I find myself obeying the speed limit in a straight line and breaking it on not so straight lines. Guess that shows where my heart lies.

 

+1 !

 

Invest in asian stocks. You'll not only save money, but make money. American stocks are still over priced! Capital Euro Marketing ftw.

 

OK ok ok, I get it, the economy sucks. I know, I'm self employed.

This is fun money we're talking about, I'm in no way stretching myself to make either purchase.

 

Coilovers. Especially if it's at a limited time price. KW V3's are nice. At least with buying that, there aren't any other additional costs (besides a good alignment). Drive it around a nice road and you'll likely change your mind about the need for the power mod.
