Help get my priorities straight!!
Okay, since I'm not enough in debt I'm looking once again at getting stuff for my car(s). The possibilities are:
1.) Always liked the idea of an aftermarket i/c and the 079 seems very suited to the stock turbo
2.) The side support of my oem seat is broken. Plus, I really like these cf seats. I have Recaro CF seats in my Sti and love them.
3.) After removing the front zero-lift kit ('cos it keeps falling down) the front gets really dicey at high speeds. Need something to keep it down or at least feel less suicidal. Would rather not drill the front bumper so I don't want canards etc.
4.) These babies apparently give very good low-end with stock-like idle.
5.) Something so the Sti doesn't feel left out, perhaps...
Anyway, would love to hear what you guys would buy in the situation. I can't decide personally and I don't want to exceed my budget.
[I trust that intentions of other members are good (famous last words), I must ask you to please do not tell me that these parts are not wirth junk or that I should get brand xxx for so much better value. My decisions is based on some research, opinions and personal preferrence. I know it does not agree with many. If we could just remain in the topic of what you would get within these choices, I'll write songs about you and sing them to my children.]
Thanks in advance.
- ARC 079 intercooler - for real this time! - [169 units]
- Bride Stradis seat. Black bride logo + seat rail - [120 units]
- Do-luck front lip - [53 units]
- Poncams + tune - [124 units]
- ARC 075 for my Sti - [153 units]

distribute your units evenly on stamina, agility and strength. unless you're a mage, and in that case swap strength for magic.
seriously though, it seems like a no-brainer for me.
1. no - get this later
2. yes - if it's broken, you should fix it.
3. yes - better looks and improved handling at speed
4. yes - a little more grunt but keeping a liveable idle sounds great
5. no - we love the evo here, duh.

^dude, I was joking!!!
Seriously, I have budgeted for it and the 300 units I spoke of is actually the budget.
The thing is, although I spend a relatively large amount of money on my car, it's not a problem financially cos I budget for it and stick to it. Besides, I hardly spend any money on anything else. As for debts, I don't actually have any except for of course car payments which is sort of normal. I just don't want to come across as some rich kid throwing money at mods on a car I'm going to sell when it goes out of fashion, that sort of thing...
Thanks for the concern, anyway.
