Default Next big purchase

So im wondering what my next big purchase should be.

ive narrowed down to either

used Wheels (probably Rpf1's) and a used turbo or supercharger kit..

new turbo or supercharger kit

or a oem hardtop.

help me decide.

there all about the same price range.

No RFP1's...i say a used one if your gonna boost it. s2ki has plenty for sale as long as you find the right one.

Hell there was a guy selling the r200 conversion for 2500 including the r200 rear end with the kit from inline pro which is like 3500 w/o the r200 itself.

Just everyone has them...and im not a big fan on the s2000.

If you do choose something that alot of s200 have i would go with the work meisters s1s...IMO they look sick on s2ks

I'm a fan of buying used, as long as you know who you are buying from takes care of their stuff. That said, I'd feel better about having a new turbo on my car rather than a used one.

True, but isn't the main part on a turbo that can have the most damage is the turbo its self?

Theres not much that can be wrong with the rest of the kit?
