dillemma
so i came into a bit of money, and im debating what i want to do with it. im looking at:
a. new front bumper, canards, rear diffuser and repaint the car black
b. get all my headwork done (cams, valves, valve springs and retainers, and headstuds)
c. save more, and start ordering parts for my turbo kit. chances are i would start off with a standalone and injectors. and get the kit later down the line.
im afraid if i go with the standalone/injectors, it will be too long before i can afford to order the kit. i want to have something to show for the money im spending, not something thats going to sit and collect dust for some time... but it is something that needs to get done.
opinions? comments? other ideas? all are welcome.

Re: dillemma
i'd have to say put the work into the tranny. I know i'm a little biased, but it's always better to prep for power than make it and break it. So think of what will be compromised when you start putting all that power to the ground and make sure it can handle it.

Re: dillemma
Well, it looks like you're at the fork in the road as to what you want to do with your car. Everyone's ultimate goal is to have a fast ride that looks good. You can either go for performance and save the looks for later or you can make yourself a sweet looking ride sacrificing the 'go' for now. It's up to you.
Personally, I think speed is over rated and you have an Evo, so it's already fast enough. But you said you'd paint it black, and I'd just get all the cool looking shit and keep it white with some sweet ass wheels.

Re: dillemma
I have very basic suspension (springs, ugh), it's just in need of an upgrade (coilovers are a must). It's not TOO high on my priorities at the moment, but definatly up there.
I figured I would start getting some of the body work done, or maybe squeeze some extra power out of it since I'll have plenty of time to work/tune it. I'm not going to be driving it very much for the next few months, if at all (which is why suspension isn't on my list at this time) :T
