What to do with $600 hmm...

[viprez586]

I just sold my DD since I really didn't want to dump any money into it. Got $600 for it so i cant decide what to do.

Here are my options:
My rims have a lot of run-out, either get some 17s and save up for tires, find some stock 16s and throw them on right away.

Coilovers

Upgrade to E316G/ or save up for FP18G

DSMLink

Gas-tank leaks a little bit, not dripping though.
Go with JMFAB 7-gal tank + STM feed/return line kit.
Or get one that doesn't leak from junk yard for $75.

Put it in the bank for a new car.

Buy my buddys clean CRX with a B16 in it for 2grand(reliable + no rust) and just slowly work on the talon when i can afford to. Pics of the car http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/959019567.html


I'm leaning towards the CRX even though i love driving the talon in the snow.

Ahhh im stretched between so many grand opportunities someone give me some advice or opinions.

go with the rex. put some stock lights back on it, does it really need more gauges then nasa? and fix the exhaust you got a nice car.

 

[viprez586]

haha i know right, im going to take some of the gauges for my talon. I think the original guy wanted to boost it but couldn't fund it.
It isn't too loud from what i've heard but it doesn't bother me cause my talon is loud anyway.
Definetly would put stock lights back on it.
Question is if i can get a loan for $1400 or not.

 

[viprez586]

yeah my bad, i forgot it has the tiny rust spot on the door, but thats great for an 88 not having any rust on the rear quarter panel.

Get a used ostrich, run DSMap on junkyard parts, and the CRX. You can use the ostrich and CROME to tune the honda too. : D

Go with the crx. My first car was a 89 crx si and that thing took a beating and I sold it with 260,000 miles on it. I wish I could find one in my area that cheap and clean.

 

[viprez586]

Well, I'm probably not going to get a loan, so the CRX is out of the question now.

I figure I'll just save my money until i get my tax return and then decide what to do with my car.

I second ds-map. It's an awesome setup, plus native speed density.

 

[z24frank]

I say fix your gas leak and get a set of stock rims that are in really good shape.Then see what you have left over.

 

[rEclipserGST]

I vote TIRES! You cant really drive your car without tires, plus God-forbid something were to happen accident-wise. Then get DSMap or bigger turbo

 

[viprez586]

I have good tires, my rims are bent(still hold air though)...that's the problem. If i upgraded to 17s the tires i have are useless.

 

[awesome_asim187]

you can get a good setup of rims and tires for $600.
I suggest:

-get Stock rims from junkyard.
-get gas tank from junkyard.

-save the rest, wait for tax return and than see where u stand.

Remember you need reliability right now.

 

[Turbo Talon DL]

I second the reliability and required maintenance options. Put the money towards keeping the car on the road.

get a set of stock wheels and get a gas tank from the junkyard so you can drive it. then once you get your tax returns look at getting dsmlink v3

[GPTourer]

fix the gas leak with junkyard tank.

upgrade to Evo3

 

[viprez586]

I decided to spend half on a PR 38mm recirc. O2 housing.
Hopefully this will solve some/if not all PK issues I'm having.
And I'm getting sick of O2 dump to the atm. on the lil 14b.

I'm going to pick up a junkyard tank and peek at some rims if they have any in good condition, then I'll see where i stand once my tax return comes.

Thanks for your input guys!

 

[AMSevo8man]

i have another idea on what to do with that money, you could send it to me!!!! just kidding!!! i'd do coilovers

 

[awd-racer]

put jb weld on the gas tank itll cost about 5 bucks

 

[Eclipse2GTurbo]

bank it, 600 bucks will barely buy you dinner for a week.
