The Good and the Bad
Well lets start with the bad...
Ordered my car the last week of December. Still not here. Called on it and was told I was looking at 18 weeks from order date. So I am looking at middle of may or so? That sucks.
Now the good. I made up my mind to save all the money I get (from sources other than my regular pay, IE. expense checks, monetary gifts...) on upgrades and mods for the car. So far I have saved $4297.08 and I should get at least another $2000 before I get the car.
So now the big question......
Is there anyone who has done an APR tune, exhaust, test pipe, and fuel pump? if so how much are we talking about?
I was looking at round number for the parts and I guess its around 4 grand. Not sure what labor would cost me.
But lets just assume I have about 2G's left over after all that, what should I do then??
I have the Eibach Pro-Street Coil-Over kit on its way now.
Any ideas on how to spend my money?

I was looking at round number for the parts and I guess its around 4 grand. Not sure what labor would cost me.software should be about 600.. exhaust is what you want to pay, apr or other company(1 grand) put together... what i have, and you will be more, but maybe 500ish... tp, the ebay pipe is about 80... online store, one of our sponsors... about 200.... no real need for a fuel pump.. waste of money unless software calls for it, and i don't think tht apr calls for upgraded pump, maybe upgraded injectors..... maybe 2-3 grand at most for all of it
But lets just assume I have about 2G's left over after all that, what should I do then??
I have the Eibach Pro-Street Coil-Over kit on its way now.let's just say you have agrand from ^ there... so now you have 3 grand.... you are looking at about 1500-2000 for c/o...... might look into tint... wheels.... dv..... or skip all the above mentioned and get a bt
i know there are companies that sell them for the b5 for about 4500.... for like everything.......

RE: The Good and the Bad
Like I said, I have the Eibach Pro-Street Coil-Over kit all ready on order. (not included in the money saved so far)
As for rims, I am looking at the Privat Kontakts ( http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c....t.A/id.7131/.f ) I have a friend who works for KÖNIG so I can get a good deal on them.
