FUTURE PLANS

A few things i want to do to the car once its fully mine and I actually have money to buy these things.

Just a small list right now

In order of importance and probability of me buying

-Car Alarm. Very good one, professionally installed

-Nismo Gauge Cluster (320km/h)

-Tires. Not sure what brand. I have no idea.

- Recaro racing street seats. Nothing to big or flashy, Something comfortable and stylish, probably black in color.

-Wheels. I like the wheels on the car right now. But I am thinking some white TE37's. Not sure though.

Thats all i can think of right now. That list will probably take me quite a bit of time

I want suggestion from you guys. Thats why I did this thread. I need suggestions on what to do to the car, what not to do and what to buy

Brand of tires????

wheels???

Seats???

This car will be a daily driver in Lethbridge Alberta, maybe making the odd roadtrip. Get some rain here. what tires should i get

Thanks

Nathan

That hood just doesn't work for me. I was glad to see a 25 though.

BUT

The cost of TE37's will probably make you want to punch babies. I can see some MB Battle's or Work CR kai looking pretty decent on your car.

And maybe something you should consider, a hidden kill switch in addition to the alarm. Most alarms people ignore now a-days. And if a thieve wants your car bad enough an alarm won't stop them. The switch can buy you time too.

Your car actually has a functioning catch can wahoo! People with a catch can with one line to each valve cover fail.

Hey, congrats. Car looks unique. Wish I had the money/balls to do get stuff done on my car already.

i think i met this car around red deer on the side of the highway on my way to calgary, he blew a rad hose and was waiting for a fix to arrive, looked super clean in person last year. congrats on the new car!

You don't like the white in the hood or the design of the hood, or what?

Thanks for the input.

I've heard that those wheels cost a lot so i don't know if those will be the ones i pick.

I was thinking about the killswitch, thats a good idea

YAY, functioning catch Can :biggrin:
