3,000$++ dont know what to do with it

whitequasimodo · 10-30-2006, 10:00 PM

well i got 3,000 bucks to spend on my stock 88 turbo. im thinking on spending most of it on dvd player new speakers, radar detector and a alarm.

i know i wanna get the alarm no matter what, but should i get some performance parts as well, and what should it be?

o also were can i get all new buttons on the control panel on the dash?

i think you should donate that money to supra community... send it to me

but if you decide to put it in your car and buy performance parts, givin it is in condition to recieve them, a full 3" exhaust, in take filter, and hard pipes, that will prolly put you back some where around 1500 dependin what and where you go

This is just me and what I'd do... Get a nice keyless entry alarm system, decent stereo system, but not a DVD player... Why would I watch movies in a car like a supra when I'd rather be driving it?

If there's ANYTHING wrong with your car, I mean ANYTHING, something that bugs you, a sound you don't know, clutch feels soft, brakes feel soft, engine sputters a little.... ANYTHING, get it fixed right. FIX EVERYTHING before doing any upgrade or mod to your car.

someone won the lottery lol

i put a keyless entry/remote start/ alarm in my supra and it was well worth it
it also has a 2 stage shock sensor to tell the ppl to get the f back when theres loud noises or if someone taps my car

it was around 300 but i got it for 100 cuz i have connections
installation was 150 though...only because of the remote start...theres some major wiring there!

get your alarm!

get your engine rebuilt or at least a new head gasket & arp head studs

then intake, exhaust, intercooler and hardpipes

there... well spent!

Guess you gotta ask yourself, what you'd enjoy more. Way I see it you have 4 options.

1. The car stereo DVD player combo - Will you watch it in your car?

2. HP upgrades, Pretty much what Suppra_girl said.

3. Handling upgrades, Coilovers, wheels, tires, strut tower bars front and rear, beefier anti-sway bars.

4. do a combination of the 3 to suit everything you want in small moderation. Get the exhaust done, and the coilovers with the stereo. Get the other upgrades later as you get $$
