$440, What to do???
 
Just sold my subs, wire kit, and amp and I have $440. My original plan was to save up and get VT Stage 2's and some springs with a tune. Now that I'm browsing, there is so much in my price range that I have no clue what I want to do. For example, Lower Rear Control Arms would be nice and alot other stuff. What would you guys do?

Save about 300 more and buy some spray.

Islander03GT 10-06-2005 10:29 AM

Save it for cams or a power added.

shad0ws 10-06-2005 11:11 AM

Spray is illegal in the VA.

A new catback would be sweet.

New shocks/struts.

Do what you originally planned, save for the cams. That's exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm saving for a Steen stage 2 head port and VT stage 2 cams. It's so hard not to spend the money on something else, I just think about how bad ass it's gonna sound when it's done!

shad0ws 10-06-2005 07:31 PM

Is the head port necessary with the cams or is that just another thing you are doing?

madmatt 10-06-2005 07:41 PM

Not necessary, but kinda makes sense because you are pulling the stuff apart anyway. Oh, and did I mention 300 rwhp...*headbang

I have another option now, my Saleen front bumper is in dying need of repair. I want to replace it with either a Cobra front end or the stock GT. My brother in law is a manager at a body shop and he said he would paint it for free because it is such a small item. If I decide to replace it, you guys know where I can get a Cobra front end or stock GT front end for a decent price?

get a new tranny :D

save it for long tube headers!

SpinMedia 10-06-2005 11:22 PM

i thought you were gonna go for the Saleen with black saleen rims look?

02wt5sp 10-07-2005 04:20 AM

I say go with the cobra front end, they look bad a$$

madmatt 10-07-2005 04:41 AM

I dunno, personally, I wouldnt waste the money on the cobra front end. I know you have paint covered, but the bumper itself is like 300 bucks, then the new foglights, then the chin spoiler...its just not a smart thing to do in my opinion, but talk to Springs, as he knows how much it all cost, and where to get it. Id hold out for cams and just get a GT front bumper with a chin spoiler, or just fix the saleen front, I love the saleen kit. And yes, black saleens with the whole kit=one sexy mustang.

ColoradoStang 10-07-2005 06:21 AM

cams, there's nothing like the sound of finely-tuned muscle car with cams in it :D

Blk02stang 10-07-2005 06:48 AM

Buy sum spray, Im in Va and dont have a problem from cops....even with the "nitrous injected" badge on the back

shad0ws 10-07-2005 07:13 AM

Well, I've made my decision now. I'm going to save up some more, buy the full Saleen urethane kit and slap that on and new wheels are coming soon too.

I think I'm just going to focus on cosmetics and must-do's before Christmas and then all motor after X-mas.
