what to do with $2000.......

I'm coming into about $2000 in the next month or so (some of my stocks are returning), and i am having trouble deciding on what to do.

Option 1:
suspension upgrades....
--kyb agx shocks
--springs of some sort, maybe tein, or eibache
--if i can find a good deal on tein or jic coilovers i'd get those instead of the above two.
--battle version rear setup (rear upper arm, toe link)
--energy suspension bushing kit

Option 2:
power upgrades....
--forced performance big t28
--JWT ECU tuning
--bigger injectors
--valve springs, rocker arm stopper and metal head gasket.

u can find the jics or teins for about 1500 or less.

so that leaves u with 500, so u can buy either the bushing kit, or the battle versoin rear..

i'd go this route, and wait till i get a little more cash to buy the part u opted out.

Kyb AGX dampers, ~$370
Tein Type S drop springs ~$130

so $1500 to go...

ES bushing... order through Summit, and they should be $100-150


so you should have lots of cash to carry over for when you are ready for power...

in which case, i would buy a lightweight flywheel and ACT clutch.
(www.clutchandflywheel.com)

That will leave you with like $500 left to put towards...

then bigger cams, and some head work...

then maybe a turbo kit...

have to go with #2 but #1 can be good choice because whats the sense of having power if you can't put it to the ground right?

Option 3: Bring all your friends to a stripclub, 4 weekends in a row.

True... what about Vegas? Who knows? You can probably double the money. hehe

Anyways, the Skyline's just a regular Skyline. Nothing big. Gunmetal, lowered, rims. It should look like any other ones out there.
