How should I waste $900

adamud · 10-11-2005, 02:22 AM

I have saved up roughly $900 for my ti and i have no clue what i should spend it on. I was thinking some H&R springs and blistein shocks. But other than that i dont have a clue. Is there anything around that price range that could be bought to "help" the performance. (Or in a $6000 price range bc my dirt bike is not as appealing after breaking my jaw.)

And a second thing is, would it be smart to get a supercharger on a 166K engine. I drive crazy through the KC already, but would that not be good on such a used motor.

Any performance ideas are acceptable

I believe they make after market injectors for the car

I like your ideas with the suspension, and if you sell the bike then you got al kinds of options

replace the headgasket, maybe new pistons and P&P the head, and slap a supercharger and go.

If you really want to "waste" it, just send a check to me. Otherwise I'd actully save it and turn it into $1800.

Are you in Las Vegas? I can think of several ways

Here's where your $900 can go for performance wise. Enough money if you know how to install it yourself.
$170 coilover kit 318ti

Bavauto Nitrous Oxide System $599.95

grand Total = 769.95 + shipping.

When you first said how to waste $900 I immediately had the craziest thoughts going through my head on how to throw the best party ever, but apparently you want to spend it on you ti....

I can't help you in that area, but the suspension upgrade sounds good....

My friends and I have been known to blow $900 in a single night, but we are not gonna get into that topic...

I'd probably just keep saving until I could do an s52 swap. What all is done to the car right now? If you haven't done anything to your suspension, I would recommend spending it on that. Do you foresee any maintenence coming up or any parts that may wear out soon? It would be better to spend it on that than any upgrades. Just make sure the base you work from is solid and reliable before you upgrade stuff.

Everything is stock and i had friends at baron BMW do an inspection and i replaced everything they said needed to be replaced.

suspension is the final decision then

thank you all and if anyone needs a Yamaha YZ250F 02' four stroke with protaper handle bars, power-now valve, new front forks. pretty much set up to race in any 125cc class, just contact me and we'll talk about it.

Dude. You going to the autocross on the 23rd? I want to see your car.

i hope its back by then. Some old chinese lady backed into the driver side door. The whole door has to be replaced. It should be done in 3 days. Where is the auto-x going to be held at?
