which direction to go? moar hp or moar suspension
 
so i've got about $1500 to blow on parts rite now and i need to get rid of it before i get wise and pay bills instead.

my dilemma is whether to buy:

cams, t28, head gasket, z32 maf, and injectors ( i already have a power fc waiting to be installed)

or

powered by max super angle kit, rear toe rods, and rear traction rods.


i already have:

redtop sr
greddy custom mid mount intercooler
walbro 255
blitz bov
greddy ras
stock t25
stock injectors
circuit sports cobra downpipe
3" test pipe
greddy dd exhaust
t-pros exhaust manifold
greddy oil cooler and filter relocation
koyorad
greddy coolant swirl pot


and

kts coilovers with z32 uprights
5 lug conversion with 30mm z brakes in front and z brakes in rear with ebrake
power by max ruca
s14 front lca
tein s14 inner tie rods
circuit sports drop outer tie rod ends.
tanabe tension rods
largus sway bars f & r
tanabe strut tower bars

suggestions are welcome, but please offer reasons why, not just 3 words.

dang thats a tough one. you already have a pretty well rounded setup. its hard to choose.

do you feel like your car is lacking power? or that your suspension is holding you back?

i would make a decision that will suit your driving style best.

Marc240 03-22-2009 01:07 PM

I would go with more power, but try to include Toe links to help you alignment....OR some baller rims

don_bagz 03-22-2009 03:27 PM

i say suspension.. whats power if you cant control it.. i mean, you already have suspension stuff, but, im sure there is still room for upgrades..

soreballz 03-22-2009 04:59 PM

I voted strip club.

GSXRJJordan 03-22-2009 07:23 PM

Get the toe rods, cams, t28, HG and injectors - forget the angle for now, and traction rods are never needed.

Should come in under budget.

usdm180sx 03-22-2009 08:56 PM

I say finish the suspension after going to the strip club =)

aoiken3 03-22-2009 11:04 PM

unlegendary 03-24-2009 01:26 PM

yeah moron, get wise and pay bills lol or else. you wanna sell your whole car later on due to bills like most people on the for sale section? just a suggestion.

180sExy 03-24-2009 03:22 PM

I say pay bills don't let blow off when you can pay them now. Pay them off an free up cash in the future. I wish I would have payed off my bills instead of blowing them off now I'm trying to get my credit back in the good.

anyone who is stupid enough to blow that much $ on a car while ignoring their finances to the point where they're forced to sell their car deserves it.

my bankroll is locked down like james brown

Sonic Motor 03-26-2009 12:23 AM

zomg, STRIPE CLUB! Get crunked and wreckless!

ruudbwoy 03-31-2009 01:50 AM

this is probably going to sound gay but the way the economy is i would at least takea third to pay bills. then use another third for some less expensive parts, and save the rest......and go to the strip club...lol. but seriously dont spend it all at the strip club

gotspins13 03-31-2009 03:31 AM

i would go to suspension! cus then you get more power and your suspension isnt at its best then you crash and your new power upgrades are a bust!
i always think suspension b4 power

91240sil80 04-02-2009 07:11 AM

count to 10 and the first thing that come to your head, do it

and if you got any extra buy a mcdouble lol

blasting_speed 04-02-2009 05:39 PM

It doesn't say if you daily this car or just track it. Do you drift or grip???

I say depending on your situation and the information you gave. You should pay bills.

XperienceM5G 04-02-2009 10:03 PM

Sell the car and try to buy the strip club.
That's my vote.

MannylovesLian 04-03-2009 10:38 AM

Go With Z32 ($100) and Bigger injectors (555 or 740 both are about $5-600). More Air and More Gas = More Power!

Then Just use the rest on stuff like toe links or nismo power brace. What ever.

Bubba 04-03-2009 02:00 PM

I'll read everyones replies later...

I say go power and TUNE.

Your suspension is rather dependable from what I see. Getting that Power FC installed and tuned would be my priority though, and you may as well throw a larger turbo on while you're at it.

Or pay bills and pick up more shifts at work.

Not if that air is going through a t25 ;)

i voted pay bills, but that makes me a hypocrite, so... put it under the hood :)

looking4-240 04-05-2009 07:27 PM

I would say do suspension before power but that would also me a hypocrite..... but after a few power modifications i ordered coilovers.....

Enna 04-06-2009 08:07 PM

Fuck that shit, get some bitches at the club. Have fun and take your mind off of everything else.

racerocket 04-15-2009 11:50 AM

dont pay the bills go to the club...
i say go for more power!!!!

bigOdom1 04-15-2009 04:31 PM

i say the turbo, injectors and maf. save the rest for the little shit that always comes up (whether it be car related or financial shit)
around 300hp in an s chassis is lots of fun.

bardabe 04-15-2009 06:35 PM

get suspension, I dynoed over 380whp and can't have much fun because of all the god damn body roll of the stock Z32 suspension.

get some real coilovers, subframe collars, tension rods, rucas, power brace, lighten up the drive train, and strengthen the chassis
