Need Opinions- Boost or 5 Bolt
 
Need some help deciding on what to do with this lump of cash I have buring a hole in my pocket.

I dont know wheather or not to use to buy a turbo kit or a 5 bolt suspension.

I have been wanting a 5 bolt for awhile now, but just recently I found a turbo kit for a really good price.

I'm rocking SI hub caps right now, I dont know if I can deal with them much longer, but when I hear sound bites of turbo cars and see those front mount cooler's I get chills.

What to do????:shrugs:

Ummm. turbo?

If you can get a kit for cheap do it asap man, I've been recently thinking of doing a homemade setup.

Not even a question.

The last thing you are going to care about is those hubcaps when the BOV goes...

Turbo is a waste of money.

get the five bolt man.

talk to ppl with turbos' most even regret they wasted that money.

and like loudsubs said. these days u can even drive 10kms over the speed limit.

but its your choice at the end. but dont listen to any joe bloe. Turbo needs some serious money. not only for building it right but maintaining and tuning.

5 bolt is usless though...sure it looks snazzy and u can say that you have an ITR suspension or whatever...geta JRSC kit and be done

:dito:
Not to mention the e-brake cable I need, and the front wheel bearing that I also need replaced, along with the rear disc conversion, and the bling bling rims!!!

shlammed 12-Mar-2004 08:04 AM

Whats the point of better breaking when there's nothing to brake for? IMHO this is a stupid question. But then again not everyone is like me...some people prefer all show and no go so whatever.

imported_gatherer 12-Mar-2004 08:07 AM

well if you really want to do something with it ... give it to me so that I can pay off my credit cards... :p

seriously go turbo..

imported_dented dx 12-Mar-2004 08:19 AM

turbo! five bolt is jsut heat. keep everything on the DL and you'll keep your car longer and enjoy the hell out of it

Nova_Dust 12-Mar-2004 08:24 AM

Turbo what, a D block?

T-Shirt Ninja 12-Mar-2004 08:30 AM

A turbo will help your around town driveability lol, long as you run a low spooling turbo, more power on tap how can you compare anything to that?

Then again if your need to replace suspension parts, I guess you should go 5 bolt, or maybe if u just want the rear disc and brakes, maybe find an SiR suspension set? That'd work well too wouldnt it? And its not a high thievable item like ITR suspension. Or be uber and buy the CTR 4X114.3 suspension lol

kwikb16a2 12-Mar-2004 08:51 AM

i say go for suspension and brakes first, theres no sense in having a fast car that cant stop or handle.

shlammed 12-Mar-2004 09:28 AM

ya but u dont need a ****in 5 bolt conversion for better braking
