Thread: I have $1000

  1. #1

    Default I have $1000

    What would you guys recommend me get for my first mods? I am planning on spending no more than $1000.

    What do you guys think about the WORKS brain flash P2?

    I want to know who tuned your cars or where you guys got your cars tuned? I dont know anything about tunning my own car, so if you guys can please give me either a few great shops that tune cars or any ecu flashes I can do myself.

    Thanks.

    Well, everyone here already knows what I'm going to say. WORKS has some really, really nice bits, but a bit expensive. Maybe buy them used.. rocket_man here has a ton of WORKS stuff for sale, if I'm not mistaken. But I would recommend a GST tune over the P2.

    custom dyno tune> p2 tune

    I used to have a p2 tune and it was pretty bad, they tried to get power from leaning it out hardcore at the end of the power band and it had quite a bit of knock, not to mention its just a cookie cutter so u can always get more power out of a custom tune.

    Also i'd be willing to part with my Works Catback exhaust if your intrested in one'

    CB/TP/DP/gst open air/tune

    should be really close to $1k

    WORKS catback fits nicely, sounds really good (quiet), and makes decent power, but not as much as some of the others out there. The angled tip flows with the rear bumper and looks fantastic if you don't plan on getting a JDM rear bumper.

    It's a tune that makes your car feel like a rocketship. I'm running a 100 octane tune from bryan@GST and it's freaking amazing. really.

    Hey Matz, even my stock evo would feel like a rocket ship? Where are they located at?
