I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

what to buy with 400$

Post by sfc » November 22, 2004

Ya, so I'm too lazy to find a better section to place this.

Car is 2000 si as you can see in my sig. Already have all the basic bolt-ons, so I'm trying to figure out what to buy next. I want something performance oriented, but I really can't think of anything in that price range worth spending money on. I really don't see myself getting very big performance gains out of hondata, and besides, I'd have to pay for dyno runs to get anything out of that anyways. I want to go turbo once I graduate, but obviously that's much more than 400$, and I think it'd be pointless to buy one part now and sit on it for all that time.

So basically, I'm at the point that I'm thinking of buying a vis cf hood if nobody has any other ideas that are in my price range that will give any kind of significant HP boost (and as you can tell I'm assuming their really aren't any out there).


Whew, enough long winded babbling from me. So it's cf hood unless someone has another idea :>


fyi: already have intake/apexi n1 exhaust, front and rear sway bars, coil overs, adjustable cam gears... and I'm late to go see this movie so I'm out*

Save up a little more and get a clutch/flywheel combo.

Or do some ignition shit.

perhaps an aftermarket intake mani? it can help now, and will also benefit when you go FI

i was gonna suggest cams or maybe a header, but they would be junk once you get boost.
