Any ideas to cut down on cost?

[hopesfallhxc]

So i decided to add up some of the costs im looking to spend here in the next couple months... I made a list and it came out to be alot more money then i have. Maybe someone could help me cut out some of the costs. Heres the list, i got most of the prices from enjuku since im in florida. BTW this is for a s13 coupe.

the list:Front clip - 3000.00CUSCO Front OS Strut Bar - 165.99CUSCO Rear OS Strut Bar - 165.99Brembo Front Rotors Nissan - 149.99Brembo Rear Rotors - 149.99Flex-a-Lite Dual 12in. Electric Fan Kit - 229.99Greddy 3in. Downpipe - 159.99Greddy Intercooler Kit - 759.99Tein HA Coilovers - 1099.99Walbro High-Pressure 255 ltr/hr Fuel Pump - 89.99Apexi Auto Turbo Timer - 89.99Enjuku Racing Blow-Off Valve/HotPipe Kit - 289.99ACT Street/Strip Clutch kit - 349.99S13 Front end conversion - 1000.00KG2 paint job - 600.00300zx fuel filter - 19.99Blitz SBC Spec S Electronic Boost Controller - 329.99

Any help would be apriciated. I know i dont perhaps need all of those things, but would want...sigh, this stuffs expensive.

I am pretty sure u can find a nice s13 front clip may be even with the whole front cconversion for less than 3k. The price u put for rotors seems a bit high. Did u include brake pads for those? I got all four brembo slotted rotors for 200 shipped. Also see if you can use the fans from the front clip. If they still work u will have yourself that couple hundred. Aslo may be u can get the front strut bar first and get rear ones later. And if u get everything from the same place, i am sure they will give u a better deal.

I'd go with the Tein HE coilovers instead of the HA. I think the HE's are a much better deal in my opinion. Then I'd get electric fans from a sentra or altima, instead of spending $240 on FAL ones. I paid $35 for my sentra fans and they work great. Then you can get the fuel filter for like $13 from auto zone or similar store.

[Cyberkreig]

he was discontinued

[rousie13]

Can't you still get them from some companies or no? I got a set from Phase2 about two months ago.

[Cyberkreig]

there may be places that still have them in stock..?

Cut out the FMIC and fans. Running stock boost isn't all that bad. Also, nix the turbo timer. Sure it's cool to be able to walk away from your car while it's idling, but it's not that big of a deal to sit in it for an extra minute or two after you stop.

its annoyin to have to jsut sit there when u got to go somewhere.

ill sell u FAL fans cheaper. my highest offer so far is $160 shipped and they were only used for a month

[TurboKA37]

what about holding off on the paint job and front end conversion? thats $1600 unless u want those things right away

[Cyberkreig]

*thread hijack* If you do know a place that still has the HEs let me know..*/thread hijack*

[MainEvent212]

used parts...

[rousie13]

Call Phase2. They hooked me up for 1300 shipped to NY.

why not just some basic tein coilovers, much better than stock and still quality coilovers. either that or donate sperm, 50 bux a shot, join their frequent donor club, and did u know surrogate mothers make alot of money for being knocked up? something in the 5 figures i heard

[TurboKA37]

ill have to do that then^^^ (the surrogate mothers part of coarse)

[sideshow]

just ask a girlfriend/wife, i just hope she supports your hobby, and if she has ever said "il do anything for your pumpik" or something along those lines say "well remember the "anything" you said you would do for me, well i need some aprts and i was wondering....(insert begging and pleading here)" and there you go, feel free to use my template for succes

[TurboKA37]

HAHAHAHAH!! U r a funny one i tell u!

[richardxfeng]

what's wrong with the sr20 fan?

[Sqwigy X]

Is the clutch compatible with both the KA and the SR motors? And does anyone know of some southern california shops that carry ACT or SPEC clutches for the 240?

[BuudWeizErr]

they are not compatible.

phase2 sells clutches for SR's.
