Cad4life · #1 (**permalink**) 04-02-09, 06:53 PM

I was thinkin about buying another car..for REALLLY cheap but im leaning to do just one crazy mod on my car. Im going to first start off and say, NO im not going to trade in for a V. That being said, what do you all think I should do...turbo...outlook mod plus some extras, i would only do the v front ...only if I do the turbo...to show off the intercooler

Ive been aslo thinking about doing the lsd conversion...and ive been searching all day but I couldnt find a thread where someone put a 6spd manual in our 5spd auto's....

Whats do you all think??

Thanks

Trade it in for a V.

My 05 was bought for $18,500 last summer I could still get like $16,000 for it. Its in amazing condition. so +$5,000 at $21,000 you can get a nice V.

IDK about yours, but I'd highly recommend that. Otherwise idk. Sound system for sure. 20's. grill. exhaust. CAI. tint

sry...i forgot to list what i have...

grill
system
tint
6000k lows
6000kfogs
55w 6000k highs
spoiler
CAI
corsa exhaust
navigation
tinted tails, side markers
leds

i am going to get 20's but im not goin to count that....
nitrous would be annoying cause id have to refill
im mostly leaning towards a supercharger i think
idk where to start on that though

i just want to say that it would be a waste of $5000 if you try and spend it on the CTS. You already have good stuff on it, why ruin a good thing. Also why would you try to make a CTS into a V when you are willing to spend the money it would take to buy one?

Just send me the 5k

If you really want to mod cars buy a civic (or 1st gen Eclipse) for $500 and mod the hell out of it. Otherwise, leave the CTS the way it is (you've already modded it enough), if you want a CTS with more power, just trade it in for a V.

Chop the roof off and run streamers from the tail lights. Get a sick set of spinning hubcaps. Put a kickass skull decal on the hood. Pick up a cheap hooker and an expensive bottle of rum. Drink it and punch her in the face. Spend the rest on a good lawyer. Post pics before your case goes to trial. Anything left, put it on black.

go out to Vegas and roll some dice at the craps tables... if you hit a spot on the north side you can play $5 minimums. could be one hell of a night

with that much money, you're bound to be at the table long enough to attract the attention of a mid-40s prostitute and have a night like dugunz described.

if that kind of excitement doesn't interest you, then i don't know what will.
