how should i spend my money?

[.jrmyrmx]

im new to the tuning scene and am finally ready to do some serious upgrades. my plan is to get a gt2871r turbo, JWT s3 cams, cobra MAF, JWT tune and either 650cc or 750cc injectors. i have 900 in the bank at the moment and will have 2 grand at the end of next month. qestion is, should i start buying parts now or wait till i have all the funds. also, can i install the cams before i get everything else? am i missing anything crucial?

thanks.

Ditch the strut/ springs.

You don't need more power until you have some cooler suspension. Brakes too.

Exactly, function before form - as in, you can't do anything with all that power if you can't put it on the pavement. I've driven a car that had almost that exact same setup and I can tell you first hand that going from a spring/strut setup to coils/arms makes a the world of a difference.
Muscle car look? You're driving a 90's sport compact. It's not a suggestion to be baller, or I'd tell you to put full aero/overs and 12j Works on your car.

i agree. i am stuck with 20k into my car and need to get a house. wish i did the house first then made my car the way it is. but o well, just have to do more work.

save up more money and buy cd's from a back and make more money off of that.

You can start by saving ALOT MORE MONEY!!! $2k aint gonna do shit. $2k will get you the turbo and things you'll need to get it in there.
