Tell Me What I Should Do Next

[ossie_21]

I have a reasonable budget to work with (cash & a 6k credit card I haven't really used, and would prefer not to), but I'm a bit undecided at the moment on what to actually do. For the last 5 months I've had a bodykit sitting at home doing nothing because about a week after I got it, I got a yellow sticker I've only just managed to get off. Otherwise about 4 months ago I would have already had this on...

Work to the car to get it cleared is a touch on the expensive side (lets just say the 2 following options would have been done by now, but realistically all I can do is 1 for now), but I'm looking for other opinions on what you might do in the same situation.

a) I have a bomex front bar & side skirts, as well as some gtr rear pods that would cost about $1300 roughly to fit & paint. That would take my car from looking plain (sleeper if it wasn't for the front bar stickers) to a more "respectable" look. My current, shit, series 1 bumper has a lot of stone chips & is very scraped on the bottom of the bumper (bad experience with a driveway/mountain in Qld), and really detracts from what's behind it. Got no side skirts on the car or anything either.

b) I am running a very decent amount of power with stock injectors & cams, so if I replaced those with some aftermarket gear I'd be looking at more power, but also won't be stretching the limits of the car. With this I would probably be looking at some splitfires as well which would add to the cost, prob about 2k for all of it to be done.

c) Maybe don't spend it on the car, but if I don't, what? Buying a house just won't be happening at the moment (but regardless of what I do, my promotion I'm looking at in the next 6 months or so would mean I would then be able to look at doing that with another person or two) Don't really have much apart from the car so ideas are limited!

That is all

Well if you`re happy with the power you got at the moment then i would either use the kit you have or sell it since its only sitting there gathering dust.

Not sure on what you got in comfort wise as in the seats, perhaps look at a seat upgrade and maybe some upgrade to the rear seats.

Or even a suspension upgrade if you haven`t already done so.

Stock car look can be less attraction to the police at times and also fun when that V8 rocks up beside you wanting to give you a run and you leave him with that stunned look on his face eating your dust.

Anyway just my 2 cents worth.

Good luck on what ever you decide on.

Save the money and put it towards property. Its a hard market to get into but you gotta start sometime.

Yeah I know, even though it sucks that's how it is....but this car won't ever be sold

reliability, definatly do your fuel system next dude... cams and gears will help it spool earlier plus give that added angry idle

gtr seats FTW or a nice set of recaro's

[Crumz]

Option B should be renamed option A and should be the only option available... The other options can become options when you have cams.

+1 more power.

Oh and who's thinking of resale value when they buy a skyline?
