Default A toss up...

Alright. Im willing to spend at least $1,000 on my car with in the next month. But I dont know what to exactly do. I was looking into a nice set of wheels and tires. Or I was thinking about buying "road tested" parts?

Its going to be Wheels + Tires = 1g. or SLP exhaust, LT headers, and something else = 1g. What do you guys think? Help me out...

A little of both...thats why its a toss up. I want some nice wheels to compliment the car, but yet at the same time I want my T/A to be faster, and much louder.

I say give me the $1000, I'll fly to Brazil and find that chick in cruiSSin's avatar. Bang her and bring back a great story for all of us to enjoy!

That way we can all get something out of it...






I'm such a giver!

The wheels you have are good for now, you can either go with the exhaust, or also sink the money into the suspension, in Jan I did rear control arms, adjustable panhard bar, new sway bars, tunnel brace and subframe connectors. I think that totalled up to about 1k.

Performance over appearance.

It's like asking "If I were to fix my johnson, would I want a big dick, or a pretty dick?"
