Hmm basically i dunno at to spend my tax returns on haha, heres my few ideas;

option 1: 100,000km service including

-New Timing Belt Idler & Tension units, Cam Seals & Front Main Seal

-New water pump

-Trust heavy duty timing belt

-Trust adjustable intake & exhaust cams

-Trust clear cam gear cover

(i still have to check if my car has or hasnt already had a major service with belts and stuff)

option 2: kakiregu06r.jpg this *drool*

(i do already have a cat back and full 3" dump pipe but the cat back isnt a cannon its the oval style, and its very quiet + its dinged...and i want Ti :()

option 3: A leatherette retrim (all black) and LED tail lights

option 4: a Defi Link Display so i can have all the info i need without 5 gauges all over the place, including sensors for water temp, oil temp, oil pressure and fuel pressure ( i already have a boost gauge)

option 5: HKS EVC V and a Apexi AFC NEO (wont be able to afford install and tune though haha)

Option 1 would make a lot of sense if i havnt already had one, could even replace the cam gears and cover for something more usefull on the list

option 2 is somethin gi AM going to get in the future anyway, so my reasoning is i might aswell get it while i got bulk cash cos otherwise it will take me a while to save up and i could buy many little things quicker than i could get one big thing

option 3 i think would be the most stand out, people (my friends) would notice this the most, and its even something i would see every time im in the car so i would appreciate it

option 4 is something i want but i suppose it could wait, although if it should probably come before boost controller and AFC so tuners can monitor engine

option 5 is the more power now option haha, i will get round to these things if i dont buy them now, and also if the engine hasnt had the big service it would be better to do that first

but aside from those options theres more stuff i want that maybe you think would make more sense ?? heres a few :)

- oil filter relocation kit

- bosch in tank fuel pump

- HKS fuel pressure regulator (due to misunderstanding i have the adaptor and not the actual FPR so now i need to buy it anyways :))

- Ganador mirrors, just hot !

- front lip for the bumper

- aluminium radiator overflow tank

cheers

I got a decent tax return, but need to save it for insurance next year :( Its going to kill me!

I could just blow it on some coilovers, cooler kit and EBC right now... :)

I guess for your situation i'd go on what you think is the best option as far as your servicing bits. If not, i'd be picking something that i'd get the most enjoyment out of. For me - the EVC and AFC

thanks for the input so far :D

seeing as ive found out i have had a majour service,timing belts +water pump and who knows what else already im leaning towards either a new cat back, maybe not the one pictured, not sure or the interior retrim with LED tail lights and ganador mirrors, i think i will end up going with the latter of those, seeing as its all DIY :)

...but my mind will probably sway :S
