What to buy???
 
Ok, I really dont feel like saving money for another few months to get a supercharger. I'd really just rather buy stuff to keep me happy and I have every [meaningful] bolt-on and I"m just unsure what to get. I dont care if its visual or performance, I just wanna spend my money. And if you're gonna ask how much I have available to spend...just think, not enough for a blower, but enough for most anything else.

Here's what I got.

CAI, LT's, catback, springs, tune, short shifter, gears. I won't spend the money on pulleys nor do I care for the tb/plenum. Are there any other mods under $5-600(or shoot, even a grand) that I haven't thought about?

i dont need slicks or dr's bc i dont have the power to need them.
I dont need a new rear end bc i dont have the slicks/dr's to need it.
I dont want stage 2 cams bc I do plan on a blower in the future...just not within the next few months

As for appearence, I'd prefer nothing that needs to be painted(like a bumper or hood), though if there's a part you think would make me look awesome, then lemme know. I guess I could get a chin spoiler, but I just don't care for them...plus EVERYONE has one.

I also thought about buyin an xbox 360 but I wouldnt play it much plus all I ever play is forza.

dammit, the one thing I forgot to mention...I will NOT get nitrous. No way, no how. Any kind of performance mod I get, I want to be there 24/7 available and no need to refill.

sorry, thats a no-no. I like to be able to change lanes with confidence and not have my view blocked. plus it'd look awful with my cat's setup

wow your picky, just save your money for the blower

shad0ws 04-06-2006 10:39 PM

How about some lower and upper control arms...

always a plus, cuts out wheel hop nicely and a fairly easy install...

csledd 04-06-2006 10:45 PM

UCA's, LCA's, subframe connectors.. all good stuff, doesn't add power but lets you use your power more sufficiently off the line.

How long is it going to be until you get the S/C? I was thinking maybe stage 1 cams w/ a blower grind. you'll still gain power, just not as much because you don't have the blower yet.

Well Danny if it was me I would change the front bumper and the hood.Make it look totally different.Have the spoiler painted black,which I think would look awesome.Yes I know you said you did'nt want to paint but they would make the biggest difference look's wise.

Hell do a Shaker hood with a 03/04 Cobra bumper.That would look damn Hawt!!

dude seriously, save your money, it will be worth it, once you get it installed, and tuned, and you smash your foot into the floor with 350 + horsies...you'll be 100% happy you did

No freaking kidding. JUST BE PATIENT and it will be worth it damnit. Bolt ons are a damn waste of money man, just keep saving.

True except for Suspension boltons.

madmatt 04-07-2006 05:57 AM

Good point. Buy the LCA's and UCA's if you feel so inclined, but other than that WAIT. Oh yea, and subframe connectors too.

CCM 04-07-2006 06:53 AM

Either save for the SC or get a new front bumper and hood.

StangMan04 04-07-2006 12:56 PM

MattJ 04-07-2006 07:47 PM

+1 Shocks and struts also.

Mug11 04-07-2006 10:20 PM

No need for shocks and struts. It's an 03

UPR Upper and lowers for the rear end = around $350 (better launching, track times, traction, etc)

OR

Spend $1K and get K-member, control arms, coil overs. Loose weight and improve front susp.

id honestly just save for a blower, I have a buddy that has an 04 cobra and i love riding in that thing and just hearing the blower all day, its fun when you can beat 90+% of the cars on the streets.

Why did they improve on them that year?

No, just they have a whole lot more life left in them. And there is no use unless you have other suspension, i.e. coilovers, control arms, for them.

Stop being so fat and just save for a blower, you can thank me later.
