Evo X upgrades

[tpunx99GSX]

Just wanted to add something about the price of the project. Dont feel bad. A good friend of mine in california named Paul Dentice, put over $75,000 (after discounts) into his project. R33 Nissan Skyline GTR. His setup maxxed out at 900+hp, He went to the Sport Compact Magazine Ultimate Streetcar Challenge and placed like 3rd i think, He got beat out by an NSX that had $250,000 in receipts. Whats funny is that though my friend didnt win, he did win all of the events that mattered, He actually tuned his car down to a fun 666hp just so he could look competitive in the events like "Emmissions testing" and "Gas Milage". But he had a lot of fun in that car and im sure you will to. He ended up selling the car for $90,000 with a lot of the parts off of the car. Now he has a Nissan Silvia S15 from japan, that is about the cleanest car ive ever laid eyes on.

Well if I threw in that body kit, some Bride seats, and a few odds and ends then I'd have a $70k Evo or somewhere in there. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I did take it there eventually since I always go too far with my hobbies.

For 2010 I'm pressing 'pause' with the parts I've already bought. I'll have labor costs for my install and I don't know yet what that'll end up costing.

I get a kick out of watching those 'West Coast Customs' TV shows but I'm not a professional sports player making $1M/yr either.

I'm going with DS2500 pads, that's already decided. The brake ducts sound like a good idea but not for now. I need to get my stuff installed and focus on the driver mod this Summer.
