You have £1000 what do you buy for your car?
 

As title.
I was chatting to a mate the other day and started on the "I just want to do this, then that etc" Did a mental check and was tallking about a grands worth of stuff.
So what would you spend your hypothetical grand on?

I would put it towards a MD321H

I'm interested in this too. I will have a grand to play wih on my classic WRX and I can't decide if it should be performance or cosmetic. I guess it is personal taste but I would be interested to see opinions here!

A re map and sort the induction out.

Spend it on e brakes,should get change out of a grand for second hand APs,or put the grand towards new APs and braided lines:D

I over spent a bit. I priced up a version 6 sti rear spoiler, Vortex afterburner exhaust and some Rota tarmac 2 alloys & tyres. Came to just under 1300. :D

service, new plugs, induction, remap.

I've just done it!

Remap by Andy Forrest (SIDC Group Buy) £550
Scoobyworld Exhaust, decat and centre section (2nd hand £150)
Samco Intercooler Hose Kit (£88)
New OEM air filter (£10)

Bit to play with too!

5t.

decat exhaust and remap

These days.....

Fuel !

:lol1:

I'd buy an Apexi PowerFC and a few hours on the rollers :)

Well, here's a little story about how stupid I am. I started a thread about upgrading the brakes on my car for a grand or less a couple of months ago. That soon went to £1600. Then I got a new stereo, then bluetooth, then a new turbo, then new injectors, then a new air intake system, then a new clutch & flywheel, then a new fuel regulator, then head tank spacers, then whiteline goodies, then a new uppipe, then a trip to Len and Bob and more and more and more......

Congrats on entering the slippery slope of 'tailoring your scoob' :D

Beer, girls then some egay led washer jets:lol1:

Exhaust, induction, remap or Scott. T chip

a fookin gearbox :( lol

A whore for the back seat? :)


Considering I'm buying a Lancia - filler !

I'd sort my suspension out and get a new back box.

A new clutch after remap :cry:

Lol, that sucks mate :(. I am getting mine installed before the final remap on the 20th as I had a feeling the old one might give problems during mapping, the price did it's best to kick me in the crotch tho.

In my case, during the month I've owned the car: new brakes, new suspension, new exhaust, service, refurbished wheels and a full valet.

new injectors, air intake and a remap

alloys tyres and a remap

Sportscat down pipe, decat centre pipe, intercooler hose kit & remap ;)

New brakes and some choice handling mods for me.

Sports cat down pipe, Walbro fuel pump and remap. Now where did I put that credit card :)

Petrol and a ferry ticket

AST Coilovers

driving school

Prodrive driving day £250.
If its standard, centre decat, centre straight pipe and backbox c£400
Better stereo and speakers £300.
Decent air filter £50

Personally, having done the above (sort of) it'd be...

Tints £200
Track day £150?
Prodrive springs & fitting £450?
Set of Colway winter tyres £200

Or having seen the MY08 STi in silver, possibly towards a deposit....

Im spending about a grand at present just doing mechanical things!

New Clutch (Exedy Organic from API) £385.00
Clutch Fitting £250
Cambelt supplied and fitted £200
Remap and sort overboost problem £200
Spark Plugs £34.00
Oil (Mobile One 0w40 10 litres) £60.00
Oil Filter/Fuel Filter/Air Filter (from GGR) £24.00 (seems a bargain!)

Things seem to add up really quick, the list does not include some of the cosmetic things ive bought like new fog light covers, side lights etc, not to mention the fact I want to have a full respray as im a fussy one, and while im at it maybe a set of new alloys , not that it is needed as the current 18's have just had a refurb!

Think I need to go rob a bank:lol1:

I would blow it on handling and brakes. Whats the point of having all that power if you haven't got a good base to start from.
