your first 500 dollars to spend on your mp5

[persist]

Hello,

I am new here, obviously.

I just bought an '03 mp5. I love it.

I am wondering what the first mods you all would do with your first chunk of 500 bucks.

Like what air filter kit? etc.


small things first really... I just drove it off the lot.

Injen CAI (~$200) and a cat-back exhaust ($250-$700).

Just a suggestion. Enjoyt the car as-is for a little while. Get used to the way it drives and how it feels before you go throwing on an intake, exhaust, springs, etc.

BTW welcome to the board.

excellent, good advice and thanks.

spend your money on a performance driving course.

with whatever's left over, buy a K&N drop-in panel filter and a helmet for autocrossing.

I bought Ground Control.

I believe in lowering a car first.

You are about a 1/4 the way to a turbo kit also!

good suggestions on the intake and exhaust. feel free to check out my FAQ (see link below sig) for some more info on those subjects.

Turbo is for Xmas maybe. But I drive in the city, (&&&) so I don't need to go to fast, cause there's bound to be a stop sign.... 40 yards away.

Yeah, but you can get it for much cheaper. I got mine (a blue one - you can get different colors, if you care) for something like $192+shipping from adventon.com.
