Hey guys,

I figured I'd make this thread since i just got my tax return and everything. I was looking to see what performance mods would be best worth the $1000 I have to spend. Thanks!

Its a 93 SC400 by the way.

 

Depends on what your goals are with the car.

Going to stay NA or go turbo?

If NA.
There are some decent OBX header on ebay for around 300 with the 2.5mid pipe. Match it up with a decent catback exhaust and do your own BFI and drop in K&N filter and call it a day.

If turbo.
You're going to need a alot more than $1000

 

save the $1000 and put it toward a good turbo setup.

 

I forgot to mention that it's a 93 SC400..

 

"gixxer_drew" hypercoils for sure. search on here and supraforums for them.

 

5speed swap, completely changes the attatude of the car. but does cost a little over 1000$

 

Yeah, I was considering a 5 speed swap... Just not really capable of doing it myself.. haha

 

lol um... SC300 or SC400? Kinda need to know that.

 

Yeah, I noticed I forgot to put that in the original post.. its an SC400.

 

well if your not able to do a 5 speed swap there really isnt anything else you would be capable of doing. if your intrested in 5 speed conversion parts check out uza70.com

 

Nitrous
/thread

 

full exhaust (including headers), it'll be darn close to your budget though




i would think a 5speed conversion would cost much more than 1k? I know my 6speed swap cost well over that...

 

a 5 speed swap costs around 1500-1600

 

That's cuz a V160 is a three thousand dollar transmission by itself, generally. I'm sure you know that though.

Pick up a used W58 on Craigs for a hundred bucks, get Jake's adapter stuff, MkIII clutch parts, a stockish clutch and either a bastardized custom driveshaft or a used 5spd one and you could definitely be in a swap for a grand. That's assuming you do your own labor (as any enthusiast should).

 

Maintenance first.

Then exhaust, intake, maybe nitrous if you do it right.
