Okay right now I'm set on three different things I need/want to buy, but each one will require some saving and I have nooo clue what to go with first.

First off is a turbo kit. I can buy a used kit, Hondata s300, and a tuning session for a grand total of around $2500 max. This should net me at 275-300whp and high 12s/low 13s. The car will be more fun to drive and I'll basically be able to spank anyone within a 20 mile radius.

Second, wheels. I like my blades, but they're just a little beat-up and I'd like some new rims. The rims I want are 15" Mugen NR Mirror Face rims. Here's a picture of them chopped onto my car...


And lastly: a laptop. I'm graduation in a few weeks and will be attending college this fall. A cheap laptop will work, but of course I want to overkill. I'm looking at this laptop that will basically run any game I want to play on it, and still do my web design/graphic design sidework. After all the options I selected online for the laptop, the price came to $1340 shipped.

I can have all of this by fall/winter of this year, so which to buy is out of the question. The question is what order to buy this shit in.

Help me out lol.

this is just my opinion but here goes


turbo first cause well duh you can enjoy it more...:rockon:

i would say next lap top (cause then you could monitor you car as well it is a two fur one)

last wheels (this is only due to where i live i am in ohio) then you can break them out next spring.....

if you live in a state that is nice year round then wheels and then laptop

honestly your car parts can wait... sounds to me like the laptop will be more usefull... education comes first... wheels and turbo you can get later... IMO

definately laptop first, i got lucky and found my laptop barely used for $350 (it's worth about $600)
car parts can wait, you will have money later for those

and i speak from experience, due to the fact that i'm in college right now

Well I talked to my boss about this tonight. She told me she would promote me this summer (better pay), and I would get bonuses.

On top of this, I just came across a badass deal on an FMIC.

So I'm going to go for the turbo kit first, then the laptop. The Mugen wheels, unfortunately, will have to wait. But with the money I'll be making this summer, I think I might have all of this a lot sooner than expected.
