Best way to spend $200
The wife was asking what i want for xmas... So im thinking something for the GTA. What is the best way to spend $200. Im thinking 1.MSD ignition or 2. 1.6 rocker arms or 3. B&M shifter to replace my sloppy stock unit.
Its a mild 350. But i will eventually be getting these items, but maybe i should wait until my car would actually benifit from the above.
The 52'' plasma idea was rejected instantly.lol

Re: Best way to spend $200
heard about decent gains from the rockers though. B & M will give instant gratification since it's winter and they look cool.
my fiance gave up and handed me money, got the gmpp tbi/vortec intake cheap locally. now i just need the vortec heads lol

Ijust put some b-day money towards a nice set of 4th gen seats I got a good deal on.The shifter or subframes are both good Ideas.The subframes being needed more than the shifter IMO.

1.6:1 rockers might give you 2-3 HP gain.
Subframe connectors is really the better answer if you don't have them already.

Re: Best way to spend $200
just called summit shipping is not to bad but... then i have to look at ups or upBS! Its not cheap, usps is ok but ups is a pain!
ill keep searching on brands/ suppliers.
What do the guys in canada use for buying car parts? It all comes down to the shipping. If it was just the price, my car would be finished.
Ill make some calls tomorrow.

Re: Best way to spend $200
He i live pretty close to the border, so i had a freind who was going across anyway, pick them up for me.
I personally bought jegsters, for clearance reasons, but i wouldnt have any issues with spohn or umi either.
I also bought mine, when the dollar was on par with the USD. So it will probably be close to $250 for you. Give the wife $50, pick an SFC and have at it.
