Im curious guys, What would you do with 10k $$ to your car? ( ES&OZ 2003-2006 )

Mainly showroom?
alot of power?
Drag?
Lapping?
Highway killer?


I would make all of them, nothing too big for exterior, New paint and lips kit.

Would mainly invest it in performance for drag, lapping and highway killer.

 

Pay off the bills I'm behind, and then put the rest in my savings account.

 

buy me another foxbody mustang

 

dont go offtopic... thnx!

 

Well If I HAD to spend it on the Lancer lol.
POWER!!!! ITS ADDICTING AS F**** haha
First off LSD
Pistons and rods
DOHC Swap With a nice port job then re-port the intake to match
Stage 2 cams
Big Brake kit W/ 4 wheel disc
Full Tien Coilovers
Use the same turbo kit I have now and push its limits until I start breaking stuff lol.

Or maybe different manifold and turbo

Now if I didnt have to spend it on the Lancer and 10k was my budget.

MK3 supra shell
1jz-gte swap with upgraded turbo and tons of boooooooooost.

 

Bills and family expenses.

But to be on topic, I would give a +1 to suspension and power

 

Well I've already spent $10K On my car (Over the course of 5 years) so yeah. Maybe go on a Cruise or have a vacation up in Japan. Maybe pick up an AE86 and throw in some cash into it lol.

But if I were take the route I took (In no specific order of purchase)...

~$900-$1000 on Coilovers (Adjustable of course)
~$500 on suspension parts (Sway bars, Strut bars, Tie Bars, etc)
~$500 on brake upgrades (Rotors, pads, brake line, etc)
~$2000 for DOHC head w/ all the belts & gaskets (Rocker cover gaskets, head gasket, etc)
~$1000 on new tires and wheels

Thats $5k so far. At this point, you can use the other $5k and go turbo, or you can go my route and stay N/A.

~$1200-$1500 on bolt on parts (Intake, Throttle body, intake manifold, etc)
~$1500 on Engine internals (Pistons, rods, engine mounts, bearings, etc)
~$2000 to play with, interior/exterior/whatever floats your boat =)

 

Let me tell you... $10k goes fast. I don't have a Lancer, I have an Evo, but my motor build (stock turbo, no head porting) cost me almost $9k alone.

I've got maybe $15k into my car with pretty simple stuff... no exterior or interior mods even. I mean... I have $2,500 coilovers and I don't even consider those expensive (the good stuff will run you $5-6k)

 

i would buy me an 03 lancer oz rally and redo my project sleeper over again...i regret parting it out and and trading it in...fortunately i would save alot on labor since i know the car so well and took it apart and back together so many times....i miss my DSM...parts are cheaper too now...

 

sell the lancer and use the money towards buying a evo 8/9
