I have a small list of expensive items to purchase for my car, but I have yet to jump onto the slippery slope.

- H&R Race springs to complimentmy Bilsteins
- Cobb AccessPort (40-50 Wheel Horsepower gain)
- Cobb Downpipe
- AVO Twin Mufflers
- 35% Window Tint

I'm skeeeered. If I get the accessport, i'll want the car tuned. If I add the downpipe and the mufflers, i'll have to have it tuned again. So I need to do it all at once, but I don't want to drop 2g's at one time... that's including tint and springs though.

:durr

2g's? Ron spends more than that on Nitrous before each RSD.

Pull the trigger, might as well do it early and enjoy your car. Good luck, should be a fun car when you are done.

heh, when I sold my Mustang, all ambition to spend on cars went with it.

I'm mainly worried about warranty issues with the downpipe. I'm gonna talk to the guys at the dealer and see how cool they are with it. I'll butter them up with three dozen Krispy Kremes or so.

technically that would only void the warranty on the exhaust system.

how much HP does the -35% window tint add?

35% is weak sauce... it actually makes you lose HP

Hmmm interesting. I'll take this into consideration.

get the accessport, you'll love it! A turboback exhaust is a HUGE improvement on the subies....you'll love the performance gains as well as the addicting boxer motor sound.

My other problem is that I want my 10mm Canon lens and some other gear too. :mad: Crivello's is a friggin' rip off too so I won't be buying locally.

NO! I must save. Like my late grandfather always told me from the day I was born, "Save your money, Nicholas. Hard times are comin'."

Then sell the stuff you got so you dont have to 'worry' about spending even more $ for tuning & etc and leave it stock until you can afford to do more. Cars & mods arent going anywhere.

Ironically enough, I did just re-pot one of my plants about a month ago. :rolf
