$50

$100

$250

$500

$1000

$2000

$5000

$7500


for those denominations, what is the most cost effective mod to get an increased performance from the car.

$50 = purchase some petrol

$100 = petrol and neons

$250 = petrol, neons and a cheap street hooker

$500 = petrol, neons, a sub woofa, 2 cheap street hookers (now you should be starting to look pretty fly)

$1000 = all of the above and treat the hookers to a nice dinner

$2000 = all of the above except get 1 high class escort instead of the 2 street hookers

$5000 = all of the above with the purchase of NOS seat covers and an O2 Rush pod filter (keep hooker for longer with the extra money)

$7500 = all of the above, 5" exhaust tip, stickers, and a makeover for your head.


Edit: oh yeah, this thread wreaks of teh gay and will not go far.

- cheapo GMC angle grinder
- extra-cheapo GMC dremel-style grinder
- duct tape over sharp metal edges of hole you just cut in the bonnet (and then smoothed the curves with the dremel)

$7500 - Go buy a car that is turbo, sell the NA car you just bought and use that money to fund a turbo and intercooler upgrade on your new car Very Happy

It just seems cheaper than turboing the NA car.... Rolling Eyes
