Default Ring trip or FMIC?

I'm saving my pennies and I'm hoping in the next couple of months to buy and fit a Z32 MAF, Apexi Power Intake and most importantly a group buy FMIC. This is mainly because of high charge temps last summer, and intake mods I've done recently have maxed out my MAF, so I'm on a lower boost setting at the moment for safety to keep it all under 1.4 bar. It should work out that I can claw back some of the money by selling my TMIC, existing MAF sensor, panel filter, airbox etc. Then I will also need a remap again.

I'm also planning a trip to the 'Ring in May which will probably end up costing £500 to be on the safe side. I'm seriously getting 'Ring fever again after not having been for a couple of years.

But it may turn out that I have to make a choice between one or the other if money gets tight: go the modding route getting the car mapped to tie up all the mods I've done over the last few months; or go to the Ring with it running lowish boost and a TMIC...

What would you do? Making more money out of thin air and doing both may not be an option... Cheers!

Mods as the ring will only put a temporary smile on your face, where as the mods to you car will put a smile on your face everytime you drive the car!

LOL I don't use them! I save up for everything, hence I have to make these decisions to have one thing or the other, rather than both.

Do the mods to your car first & then save to go to the Ring with a sorted car next year....

I think I've got it figured out. Sell everything I own apart from my car and do both.

Lolol cant fault you mate niceone, that needs to be done.

Still though, I dont see why people dont take advantage of credit! It owns, it lets you have what you want, when you want/need it! Aslong as you dont take the ****, then your winning.
