Budget Mods

[BobbleCat]

I've saved up 2k in the past couple months for my P5. My question is: What would you recommend spending it on?

I would like to get quite a few things to keep me busy on the weekends until I save up some more.
I already have some wheels and audio equipment.

There's numerous things! Here's a few recommendations in order that I would do them:
-Suspension: Coils($900-1300), trailing arms($100-200), sway bar end links(~$50)
-Exhaust: Catback(~$400), Header
-Brakes: MZ6 Brake upgrade

My best advice is check out the build threads, people on here do some pretty amazing stuff!

Along with ^ those ^, I would also suggest a FULL cold air intake, and if you have a 5 speed, a MP3 ECU. To get the most out of the MP3 ECU, it is best paired with the intake/header/exhaust combo.

My stance after owning this car for a long time is that power mods are pointless. The gains will be little to none and your cash will be gone with near nothing to show for it. Your P5 will always be slow and if you accept that now, you'll save yourself some dough. Thankfully though, it's still a fun car to drive.

Spend your money on visual mods. You'll be much more satisfied with them.

-DG Front Grille
-HIDS
-Racing Beat Catback (I suggest this for the sound, not nominal HP gains)
-DG Rear Valance

EDIT: I know you have a sound system and you may already have a sub. Getting a custom molded sub enclosure would be awesome. It frees up so much trunk space.
