What to do with my tax return??

Osiris · 02-08-2013, 09:25 AM

if you're getting a $2500 tax return, then i'd be adjusting my W2 so that they aren't taking so much tax out of my paychecks.

Hookers and Blow?

But seriously, Z1 Brakes, or get the FI exhaust. I have both. Love them both,.

Well I'm def getting an FI exhaust no matter what! But them it leaves me short for the break kit so I SOL there.

If you're already doing the FI CBE you might as well just get their LTH's while you're at it. Combined they should run close to your budget.

If he wants to turbo at some point the headers are a waste of money

SC'd would still an option though.

Use the money to get something that's more dramatic. Brake kits won't do much for you because the stock brakes are functional enough. If you get a BBK it'll be cool, but then you realize it stops your car just as well since 95% of your braking is casual.

Wheels are the best because it makes a big difference on your car's overall looks, but you might want to give it a 1" drop to give a better stance.

CF hood is cool, but that's it. You already have a hood.

Forced Induction is the most dramatic and definitely improves the fun to drive factor.

That's very true I might try to look into some wheels any ideas for around 1g or 1500?

Look into Vossens or just browse Craigslist

If you can't spend more than 1.5 on wheels then your stock ones will be better...

dAvenue · 02-08-2013, 04:41 PM

I'd avoid FI based on the nightmares documented here on the forum. So if it were me, I would upgrade the HFC, catback and suspension. That's the best bang for the buck in my opinion.

dAvenue · 02-08-2013, 04:44 PM

By "FI", I meant Forced Induction. Fast Intentions is a very good exhaust.

The first thing that you should do with your tax return is adjust your withholdings so that you get more money during the year and not a return at the end of the year

You are overpaying your taxes, this is not free money that you should be spending

<- Gets off soap box

I'm finishing up my last couple mods with it. Upgrade my headlights one more time, add 15mm/20mm H&R spacers, add hood damper kit, add Z1 silicone hoses. I don't want to drop the car so no coilovers... Nothing left to do :/

I hate all of you who get money back.
