Eh, I wouldn't go with Xplod stuff. You can get other stuff that is much better for not too much more.

Sigh, if your offset is too in & your rims are too thin then its definately time for new s***.

Take a look at some of the threads around here & find some wheels you like, dont ask what we like & expect to share our sentiments.

What kind of coils do you have? Pics?

less car modding, more "skool".

you borrowed money to buy your car, get a boombastic system, and a k&n intake for it? hmmm. focus on paying back your loan, and then saving money before your next mods.

also, this

1. pay uncle-san back2. save and only spend on maintenance stuff and/or any thing that may need to be replaced sometime down the road.3. acquire patience. i go to school full-time and work part-time so i'm in sort of the same boat as you. save your money for bigger and better things. if you want nice fitting wheels, its gonna take a few months to get em..

just my 2 pesos

Now that people have said responsible things, my turn.

1. Sony xplode is not great but Its not important either.

2. Make sure that s14 has new vacuum hosing all around, you will thank yourself

3. Check spark plugs, wires dizzy cap and rotor button for wear, replace as needed. Use NGK plugs

4. Make sure oil is good and that motor isn't leaking any.

5. You already have coils, make sure all the other suspension supports them and that your suspension geometry isn't off.

6. Go turbo.

Goto the part out forum and see if anyone is parting an s14 and get a new bezel.

i agree, say no to a bunch of boom boom.

pay off any loans as said, do maintenance and focus on school, thats the most important. without that you can say bye bye to any REAL money.

take care of it now then when you get out of school and get a good job with all that great edjamaction it'll still be in tip top shape to modify.
