Help me spend $2K.

Help me spend $2000!

Well my dad just inherited some more money and told me he'd sink another $2K into the Mustang. I just got done with the H/C/I, and would like to get the car a little better prepared for Autocross (SCCA) season. Here is what I had in mind:

Nitto 555RII's (My tires are shot): $650

Custom Chip: $325

Cobra Brakes: $450

Steeda Aluminum UCA's & LCA's $425


The only thing I am not sure about is the control arms. Is there a better way I could spend the $400-500 on suspension parts? Right now I have KB springs, bilsteins, all new bushings, and subframes.

Or if you have any other ideas on how to better spend the money (Autocross in mind), let me know.

Fuel and exhuast mods are done I take it? Aftermarket gauges to have a true reading on your engine? Shocks/Struts? If not Tokico 5 way adjustables maybe? You have subframes correct?...What tranny you running... hell just give me the 2k

i say get the Strange 9 way adjustables.

Sorry I guess I should have listed a complete list of the mods. As far as fuel I have 24# injectors and a Walbro 255lph FP, so I'm ok there. Exhaust is stated in sig and is completely done and I love it. The only aftermarket guages I still need are Fuel Pressure and oil pressure, but the lunar ones are a little too spendy to do right now. I'm not getting rid of the bilsteins as far as shocks/struts are concerned.

The tranny is an idea. I don't know how long I am expected my T5 to last with the new power.

Well if u wanna auto x does SCCA allow panhard bars and torque arms? A Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar would set your rear suspension up really nice. tires for sure, and better front brakes.

Stiffer anti-roll bars?

i would go with the panhard bar/torque arm, tires and brakes. if you don't have the money for a panhard bar/torque arm, get the steeda control arms. they work great for me. i unfortuneately only got to use for a weekend before my broke, but i was very impressed with them.

Are you saying that your control arms broke after a weekend?

BTW - I think SCCA allows the panhard bar/torque arm, and we aren't in the real hardcore division yet, its more for eveyone's enjoyment, but I still like to go as fast as possible.

I guess the tires brakes and chip are a go, I just need to figure out the panhard bar/torque arm or control arms.

 

[viperos]

screw the chip! and get some Pirelli tires.... the brakes are a great idea, I'd go w/ some appearance mods probably personally though... like some flames or something tasteful

With that much money id get a PMS computer or a tweecer.. there is so much to gain in computer work on these SN95 cars.. custom chip picked up my car 20rwhp.. just wish I had a PMS so I could play with part load options without having to take it back to the shop who burns my chips.
