Overhauling or Pimping?

[HvyArms]

I got into a discussion yesterday with a friend of mine, he just bought a '98 Lexus SC430. I'm telling him he needs to get new springs, a sway bar, new tires, then exhaust and chip it. But he's arguing that he needs to get new speakers, and tweeters, and a sub and amp. Needs to put 20s on it and so on.

Now I have to admit, I don't know a lot about cars, and thats the reason I joined IA. So that I could get good advice and help from people who know more than I do, for the most part. I told him I was gonna get you guys opinions, so what do you think?

If you had a budget to either upgrade your car's performance, or enhance it's perception, but not both, what would you do?

And dont curse me out for posting this in the wrong section, or not making it a poll because I dont know how damnit!

[devin]

i say overhaul the mafukka

[2.0civic]

depends on how its going to be driven...its a heavy ass car so unless hes really trying to race it, hell if he wants speakers to enjoy cruising then do that

[quickdodge®]

You are talking about two completely different aspects in auto modifying. Some people go for looks/sound and some go for performance. This guy, evidently, likes the looks/sounds portion. So it's really on him and what he likes. Later, QD.

Performance...

[B16a2 Civic]

i would do pimp my ride, only forthe fact that mad mike does some crazy audio.visual work, and they almost always install gps and other goodies thats convient.

all that extra shit i would take off and try to sell

[thinkfast®]

yea and that crazy mexican cat does sick interior work

"wad I gonna do heir, es a crazy 2 tone mane, cuz I crazy"

[DieselNuts]

its a fuckin lexus V8. what kind of performance do you think your gonna get out of that heavy ass car. I say go with the audio/video. Now if it was an SC 300, that would be another story all together.

" i going to put cooler fans in teh seat, then it cool you up, like ice"
"brrrrr, west side"

[v3rd1g0]

different strokes for different folks IMO... My car isn't made to race, so i spent a couple hundred on sound since i'll be doing a lot of driving it in and i'd want to enjoy it.

[speedminded]

There's only a handful of cars ever made that can't benefit from upgraded suspension...this isn't one of them. The main thing is budget, plan, and goals for it?

He can do what he wants, just like any civic owner on Buford Hwy. can do what they want....whether it's right or not or even looks good to anyone else doesn't matter, it's what he wants but it wouldn't hurt to show him good examples of cleanly done rides.

As for the SC430, it looks like a beached whale and there's not a whole lot of aftermarket support for it. 19" HRE's with a clean ICE install and it's good to go.

[B16a2 Civic]

whatever

[HvyArms]

He can do what he wants, just like any civic owner on Buford Hwy. can do what they want....whether it's right or not or.
