I want to pick up another S-chassis.

The Bimmer is great, but you can't just tear it up and feel no remorse like my old sil-40.

I'd day guages. they make some super tight ones for cheap nowadays. either gauges or a shift knob. those are always fun

new tires of course is the practical aspect. but hey its Christmas :D

Mostly money to pay off credit card, so I can use tax return for new top on Vert, alignment on Vert (after I install some parts I have sitting around), and alignment on G35 after I put Z33 suspension on.

I'm on the same boat, I haven't bought any parts lately for my car. I owe debts on my credit card that i'm trying to get off my shoulders first. I just want to finish building my motor that'll be good enough for me. I just have to assemble the ka and drop it in this winter.

gauges would be cool but for a daily, they're kinda pointless. I think the factory ones cover most errythang i need to know as i just rolling around town (unless they make a gauge that shows when your getting rear ended next). Any good suspension links for cheap?

Not really pointless. The stock Temp gauge is bad (cold, normal, yourscrewed). Find a Temp gauge or a consult reader of the ECU temp gauge (like MDM-100).

You can hide them somehow. I wished I would have had a Temp gauge in my old Coupe when the waterpump failed and blew the hg.

Spl tie rod end, spl rucas, most spl suspension parts are about $200, but s14 seats, a shift knob, or subs would be nice

You dont have to have a turbo car to have a rev limiter right??? And are the Bee R rev limiters hard to install?? And can you constantly change the settings like you said you set yours at 3k! Is there like a controller where you can always change it from normal 7k to 3k???? Cause i would like to do what you did and have some fun with it, but i would also like to have it to where i can normally keep it on 7k, for like racing, and dd and stuff :dblthumb: !!!???????????

yes sir. you can control the rpms, 2 step limit, and the gain(how much ta ta ta ta, bang bang bang you want) anytime you want by just turning the little dials, and can go up to 10k rpms i believe. idk i never tried it. and no you dont a turbo. and no i installed it in 20 mins finding the wires, and splicing into the harness, then putting everything back neat. theyre is actually a diagram i used online. if you get the limiter tell me. i'll show you the page.
