So i got this promotion at work, and my cash flow is coming in like crazy, I work for Pepsi Bottling Group and love it. anyways this friday im going to + $600 and I want to spoil my Pro5 and buy it something. What should I buy??? I found a 4 month old Greddy Evo2 full catback for sale= $360 shipped im interested in and Im thinking Im going to buy a set of Tein S-techs and finally drop it. Or Put the $600 in the bank, try to sell my 18" konigs i just baught and get my 17's. I attached a couple pics of the wheels im interested in? What do you think? The 1st set is only made in a 4lug by ADR, so does anybody know any companies who make wheels that look close to these??? And The 2nd set im undecided between the black as shown or gunmetal?? Tell me what you think?

I just responded in your other thread....double posting info FTW...haha

If you haven't already, check ebay for the ADR's. I have found thought that the seller's don't list them by the name 'Spawn' so you have to search through the ADR 17 list.

**I was looking at these same rims about a year ago. They do make them in a 5 lug but offset is 42 on a 17x7. Might rub? (dunno)

haha i did find them, but i think im going to go with the motegi's. I love wheels with chome lips, and think when i drop my white pro5, get my headlights painted, taillights blackened, and carbon fiber hood, i think those black motegi's will look sweet. lets hope so. I think this weekend im going to buy my exhause system and the lowering kit. then sell my damn konigs and try to get my new wheels. lol i emailed the place i got my wheels since i just got them like a month ago and see if they would take them back as a trade with cash for a set of 17's or if they would hook me up, lets see what they say or how much they laugh at me. haha.

i noticed you got the same tires as me, how do you like them? i seem to like mine, but i have nothing to compare them too
 
haha, the turbo kit is coming after i pay of my current loan, im 20 years old and money burns a hole in my pocket fast. after i pay the loan i have now off by the end of summer, then its time for about a 10k loan which will turn into built motor, hiboost complete turbo kit, install and gauges etc. plus with this promotion the extra monthly bill isnt a hassle.

Then it's time to start learning how to better manage your money. Throw money at your car only after you have put a reasonable amount into both your retirement account and your other savings. A bit of restraint on the spending front when you're young may seem painful, but it sure hurts less than paying rent for the rest of your life and having to eat cat food when you're old.
 
what the hell are you talking about? Cat food is expensive! Try Krusty's imitation brand cat food! Doh!
Saving is a good idea, but if you really must mod your car, then you could eat the cat food now instead of when you are 65.
 
i still got money to put away and save, i just have to spoil myself every once in awhile. and ive baught this pro5 knowing i would be putting money into it, so with this little bit of extra cash im going to buy something.
 
$600...

UDP = ~$100 used.
Tein springs = ~$150 used (perhaps cheaper)
Rear sway bar = ~$100- 150 or so used
$100 to 150 left to save for a cat back
______________________
= Fun car for $600.

looks good, but finding all that used for that cheap is the problem.
 
sorry about the double post... The server was really slow at that time yesterday.

Agreed. But they certainly do come up. And it isn't like you have to spend all $600 right now is it? lol...

do those ebay intake help any? or should i buy a aem or something
People seem to like them when combined with a good filter, but I think you will need a CARB sticker depending on your State law.
