well, i traded my gp sports body kit and my coilvers for a cutsom ka-t kit. this included a new turbonetics t3-t4 to4e turbo, new tial wastegate, custom top hat manifold, steel ic piping kit which is 2.5" hot and 3" cold side, huge custom front mount with 2.5" hot inlet and 3" cold outgoing, custom 3" downpipe, 320 side feed injectors, and 3" catco hi flow cat. i bought a new 3" stainless exhaust to go along with it. now all i need to get is an afc and various gauges and an hks bov. also got a 300zx brake upgrade from mike which included new loaded aluminum 26's and stainless lines for the front conversion and stainless lines for the stock rear. new "real" Brembo Z32 cross drilled slotted rotors up front and stock S14 Brembo CD/S rears. i am looking at running 10 psi on stock and seeing if it blows easily. if so i'll just build the crap out of it and boost it to 15! also in the trade i got the factory bumpers off his se so now i have and se lip. gonna get another set of coilovers soon and drop it hopefully on a wicked set of 16x8s if i can find a set. oh, and i also just bought a cf trunk lid from c wings! gonna paint it dark so there isnt much of a contrast and try to keep it sleeperish! i'll take some pics of all the parts soon.......

You're on the right track. I'd rather spend my money on performance parts than looks. I mean I want my car looking good too, but I'd rather have the performance backing it up.

thinking about getting the full cusco removable roll cage. got a friend with one in an rb s13 coupe and he swears with that there is no need for any strut bars or sway bars or anything to make the car stiffer. that setup is sweet. i always have to give him props whenever i see him. he has one sweet ride.he would rip just about anyones ***!

I'd have to sell a kidney to buy all that stuff. Preferably, someone else's kidney.

Awesome man. Like the others said, you're on the right track! Stick with being fast, instead of just looking fast. PS, looking fast is usually a good indicator of being slow, so I say scrap all body mod plans forever.
