Ok, I have about $1000-$1500 to play with, and I can't for the life of me decide what to buy! No power mods yet as SR, FMIC, BOV, cat-back and clutch/fw will all be done over X-Mas Break. The car is a 1991 S13 coupe. I am looking at either Wantanabe R8 rims and Falkein Azein rubber, Tein HE coilovers, or go ahead and do the Silvia front end conversion. Any comments? The car is bone stock right now...

The only thing about rims is I have an SE so I am perfectly fine leaving the stock rims for a while...

My view is if you're on a limited budget, upgrade when the parts need to be replaced. If you have almost new tires, I'd hold off buying new ones until the old ones wear down. You have an ambitious list of things to do, so you might want to save that money so you have enough to do the motor work. You don't want to run short halfway thru.
