[Manni765]

So I've been putting this off because I am a ricer as of the moment but I do want to build my car I just got a job so I'm planning on dropping a k20a2 in this summer and eventually a turbo, after I really want a little nitros just to have the experience I love cars and I know the d17 is slow but honestly it's my car so I can do whatever want, so here's my "build"

Upgrades
-Aem cold air intake
- dc sports headers and (hopefully exhaust , was on there when it was purchased for me)
- cheap enkei 15" wheels (also on there when bought)
- body kit ? (On there when bought )
- double deck spoiler (this is the riciest part but it's fun breaking knecks)
-blue extended racing lugs
- new stereo head unit
- new front speakers
- 15" kicker comp sub
- stripped trunk ( also there when purchased)
- momo racing steering wheel (there when purchased)
- fckn fast shift knob

Car looks nice...either change the color of the mirrors or paint the hood and other things if you like, to tie in the color of the mirrors. Black mirrors don't stand alone and look cool by themselves. They may be stock (your mirrors), but I doubt it since the door handles aren't. JMO...welcome by the way!!! :-)

Haha thanks for the support and I definitely will do something bout the color
a mirror was busted out when we bought it so we just found those for cheap but it needs paying pretty bad when you get up close so it's definitely in the plan :-)

The lip kit isn't all that bad looking for what it is.
The hood pins are awful.
This needs to be lowered a bit.
Rear bookshelf needs to go.
Replace the hazy headlights with new OEM style or the OEM style black housing models don't look too bad either.

Looking good, OP! I'm with Mr. Baker, a few changes and she'll be looking great!

 

[Manni765]

Ya I know like I said as soon as I start getting paycheck s I'm stripping the interior taking off the spoiler buying lights getting a new hood (hood pins were in it when bought ) then dropping a k20a2 in it

 

[XpL0d3r]

If you plan on doing K20 and boost, I would save up and do it all at once. Otherwise you're going to spend $ on parts you won't longer need once you go boost, such as intake, header, etc.

Thanks man don't worry though the intake headers and exhaust were all on it when I bought it so I didn't waste money on it haha.I haven't done too much to it yet other than making it run better and a couple of the cosmetics.

I don't think he means to say you shouldn't have hood pins, but that they stand out and look gawdy/awful. I would just repaint with color match if you're looking for a clean look...otherwise go retro all the way or don't go at all. :-)

Lol...there you go bro...in all honesty, if it were me, I'd get the seats all day long. Save up and get yourself some nice lights, this way you can upgrade your tails too and maybe get some quarter panel or mirror signals. That is what I'd do.

And now, another goal of mine...seats and turn signals, I think foooor, hmmm...what do you think? Mirrors or quarter panel signals?

Neither.

I'm planning on dropping a k20a2 in this summer and eventually a turbo

This will never happen.
If you're working paycheck to paycheck, and you are prioritizing seats and tail lights, this will not come to fruition.

Turn signals, most of the time they're on the quarter panel, although I've seen a few cars with them on the driver & passenger doors.
