Turbo MP3
So I fill out my tax return stuff last night and it looks like I'll have over $3000 coming to me!!!! Now all I need is for some SMOG legal stuff to be released for our cars. Has anyone heard of companies getting parts approved through the CARB board yet?? dammit I want some freakin parts without having to take'em all of if I get pulled over!
 
Having to take off a performance parts cause it isn't carb approved is not gonna happen. It is very easy to get a car inspected with it being smog legal, unless you live in CA hehe. I would spend that 3 G's on a turbo kit. Wait for a complete one to come out.
 
Yeah, live in San Diego so CARB approved is important (no custom turbo for me) So far what I was thinking is LSD, big brakes (either stoptech or maybe a custom project like I had on my old civic) and a cf hood.
 
I say sell your MP3 and put the $3K down on a car that will be able to turn 14 second 1/4 miles with little modification. Or you can spend the $3k on a turbo kit only to later realize that you'll barely be able to break into the 14's without having to spend another 2 grand or more. Hmmmm, what to do.:( IMHO, don't focus too much on power since we're all having a tough time extracting it from our motors. I say focus more on cosmetic aspect, example: coilovers to lower the car, lighter rims, CR Hood, Autoexe or Mintblue front lips, different seats, etc. Just my .$02 cents;)
 
Trade in your MP3 on a turbo 90-93 MR2 and get a blitz turbo and intercooler upgrade and run low 13's mid 12's all day long.

cf hood (shipped) $620
stoptech breaks ~$1200
LSD ~$1200
+ ------------
$3020

and that's if you can install everything yourself!!!

Suspension = full coilovers
Exhaust = Semi Titanimum
