Got $12000, What To Do

[PWND]

I am sure similar topics are covered all the time, but i would appreciate a third party opinon on what i should do with my 12k.

I currently own a 96 gtst with a turbo back exhaust, suspension and an intake, and was thinking about three different ways of spending my cash. The money is getting spent, it's not going into savings, so don't even suggest putting it into a long term deposit or any other shit. This is strictly play money that i have worked my ass off to get.

Option one is:

spend the cash on the r33. was thinking about 3k for stereo and a nice set of seats, and 9k on performance mods. boost controller, puter, fmic and maybe turbo.

Option two:

sell said skyline, and buy a r33 gtr. i have a friend selling a stock 95 model with an exhaust for 28k mates rates. so should be about right, give or take 2k

Option three:

buy a road bike. Was thinking of a CBR600rr, R6, or maybe even the big boys, Fireblade or R1. This would leave me with two toys to play with, so would be kinda cool. plus my gf really digs bikes.

Any input would be appreciated.....

ps. I am selling my 92 205 gti peugeot, if anybody is interested pm me for details

Hmmm def not option 3. I would go with option 1, making the car unique is very very satisfying. But I have seen r33 gtrs - they sexy as. Since I already have a S2 gtst, id stick with the gtst and mod it up a bit. But remember the cops - they can defect you anytime because of your mods.

6k on mods, then the other 6k on legal representation after u drive it around.

^^^^

LOL

was just reading the thread about all the bullshit you are going through.

The only bad thing about modding the beast up is the fact you don't get any of this cash back...

but yeh, would be satisfying to mod a car the way i want it to be

I was thinking option 2 or 3 nothign like best of both worlds, a skyline is an awsome car and a CBR is an awsome bike and as you mentioned there could be bonus's from the Mrs, if not the bike and car in conjunction with each other can grealty increase the possibility of many many other females

option 1

[dangerous_daveo]

Go #1. But spend a bit more on the stereo, $2k for install.

BTW does your $12k include the sale of the pug? If not go this option, keep that as a daily, do a desiel conversion or something. Then spend allll of your money on motor

[PWND]

got 12k already sitting. using the sale of the pug for other crap, hopefully plasma and a new couch. wasn't planning on spending too much more on the stereo, because it already has jb splits front and back, four channel amp and a pioneer head deck with stacker. just figured i needed a good sub and an amp.

couldn't convert the pug to a diesel, too much fun to drive with the 1.9l motor at the moment. it's like a go kart.

might be hitting you up for one of those advertised fmic kits shortly. once i figure out what the hell is happening

[REXCLNT]

oh man, you are 1 lucky ass,

all 3 options sound bloody good, but then

winter is gona be over soon, CBR 600RR would be awesome.

[merlin6014]

Definatlety option 3

[Sambo33gtst]

Man, i know u said dont say put any of the 12k away for savings. But i would spend 6-8k on legit/legal engine mods, along with a nice stezza and make it tidy, clean and shaped.

Make your car looks sweet as without going overboard. Bottom line is that u dont get ur dosh back on mods. Save some cash for a rainy day, or if (god forbid) something went wrong.

My 2cents

[R31Nismoid]

#2 or #3

the gts-t would be nice to throw cash at IMO the other two options you have for youself are better choices

[D-limo]

Remeber option 1 is likely to be the one you would loose most money on... 2 & 3 sound good to me lol, What ever makes you happy really. Mmmm wouldn't mind a GSX-R 750

[scathing]

If I had a $12K lump sum that I would afford to not put into a home deposit etc, I'd sell the R33 GTS-t and buy a GT-R.

Personal preference says buy an R32, and have change for mods.

shamless plug for Option 3

Smarter to buy the GTR

Putting the money on the GTSt you're never going to get it back

Spending the money to upgrade to the GTR you will see most of it back when you sell the GTR.

GTR is a better base for mods anyway. Long term you'll get more kicks from the GTR than a modded GTSt

Exactly.

R33 GTSTs are depreciating like no tomorrow.

Settle for a GTR and nothing less.

Put a deposit down on a property (and make me feel better for doing exactly that)

[CEF11E]

buy the GTR but I would get a R32
