Well it's not the worst but it's not the best. I've noticed a lot of the panels and doors can bend in really easily. But the interior feels like a pretty sturdy car. Nothing flimsy and plastic.
Start with the suspension and handling. That will take about $3k. Then with the left over, get the basic mods. intake, header, exhaust, and carbon fiber hood.
lol am i the only one who saw this??? dude if you got $7000 to play with lol throw some my way... JP! what i would do is keep it simple... new CAI, header back exhaust, springs, RA tail lights, Evo hood in my color... and what's left... pay bills!!! lol
If i had 7k..... Custom H.O. Alternator about 300-350A (figure thats a good 600 right there) 2x DC Sound Labs LV5 18s (expensive cant say price tho) 2x Sundown Audio SAZ-4500Ds ~1500 each 1x Sundown Audio SAX=100.4 ~ 400 Digital Designs DDA-W6.5" component set (500) 3x Powermaster D3100s ~ 900 And enough money left over to get some wire and wood to hook all this up and build a wall behind the front seats. Might need a few more hundred to get a new HU and sound deadener. This list will make your car alot slower probably. Which is the opposite of what im guessing youre lookin to do. Good news is the system would weigh so much you probably wouldnt need to buy a lowering kit, lol.
custom turbo 2.5k coilovers 800-2k forged internals 1.5k rear brake disc conversion 1k new tires 600 (only 15'' stayin on stock oz wheels) CF evo vii wing 500 RRM exhaust 399 Iunno whatever is left i would pay bills or swap for a 4g64 engine for 2.5k no evo wing and no rear disk conversion although it would look better. the drum look retarded
