So, there is an oppertunity for me to get 2000 dollars towards my car next week if i get a 30 on the act ( i made a deal with my mom to use some of my college money if i get a 30 on the act, i have a 29 so far so its not far from reach ) anyway, if i do get it i am going to replace the springs, shocks, bushings in the suspension, get the full RB true dual exhuast, intake, and get my injectors cleaned. With the leftover money what other things should i do brakes maybe or save for a paint job. WHich reminds me, i have been meaning to ask, what is a ok paint job cost, not crappy, but not neccesarily awesome, just something like a stock paint job?

your expecting left over money? the exhaust is close to 1000, the suspension is 600, intake for a decent one is 100, injector cleaning is another 100 or so, maybe you can take your mom out someplace nice for dinner? because you won't have too much left.

get a turbo.

Its a NA, it would be too much trouble and not worth it to get a turbo and then convert. If anything, i would get a supercharger.

tittybar.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png but no seriously, if i had that kinda money coming to me soon, i'd go to a tittybar.











Alot.

Yep I agree. No leftovers for you.

actuall the exhaust miight be closer to 1200

If there is none leftover, i will still be happy with what i get.

sell the car, put all the money towards a TII

I concur. You can sell it for 1.5 G's. Get a moderate tii for 3k. And have 500 bucks to mod. Also I wouldn't get the true duals if I were you (very LOUD, kills LOW-END POWER). Just get a good header, custom single exhaust setup, which will be ~approximately 400-689 bucks.

paint job price?



maaco - $300

top of the line quality but no special effects (like pearl, candy, etc)- ~$6000 and up.



so anywhere between there is a good price. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



kevin.

maybe i will sell and get a turbo. Is that all my car would be worth though 1.5 That seems low, at least for around here. i just hope i can find a turbo around here.

where are you from

Higginsville MO. About 45 minutes east of Kansas City.

my buddy just sold his TII for 4k , whats the condition for your FC ? if its a 90 with decent mileage and its in good condition , you should be able to get 2k for it if you list it in the papers or on the boards.



deff look into getting a TII even if it is a S4, you wont be dissapointed man, even stock to a modded N/A.

He could turbo his 6port for under $2k. Saves buying a new car.



Probably have about $500 left over. Get a semi-decent suspension upgrade for that.

i guess he could just buy a TII motor, but still , we're not sure if he has the ability to turbo it himself or what. Sure the parts might be under 2k, but if he doesn't know how to do it, labor would be a killer

No, i have not done something like that myself but it would be interesting to do, i just don't think i hvae all the tools right now to pull an engine and what not. The condition of my 90 NA is ok, the suspension needs to be replaced, shocks are wore out and what not. I hvae been doing maintance, transmission oil change, regular oil change with Royal Purple, Fuel Filter, plugs, some lightbulbs and what not. There is no major rust, just a few speck i could scratch with a blade and touch up paint which i hvae already bought. The milage is about 115 or so. I have hollowed out the main cat though. How much for a s5 turbo you think?

4-6k, depending on condition and any mods.

exactly, turbo'in the car is just not worth it in my eyes. S5 TIIs can be had cheap 5k is nothing for a nice decent S5 TII

ask around how much it costs to swap a tii block into your n/a. a wee bit too much. n/a's are nice and all, but if you want power, you will need some forced induction.

My 4-6k was for the price of a car, not to turbo it. Under 2k to turbo it, so far for me. Looking to be just under $1500 for me.

I am pretty sure i am going to sell it and buy a TII if i get the money. then that away i may wait even longer and see what kind of graduation gifts or money i can get.

maybe for you bro, but I dont think this guy (no offense) has the ability to turbo his car on his own. A TII is just the best option for him
