    OK folks. As you all know, my mods list is tiny and my budget reflects this. I need THE best possible deals if I'm to get mods for Christmas. Let me know where you have found the best deals (including price) on the following items:

    1. Predator Tuner (with cables)
    2. High Flow Catalytic Converters w/Midpipes
    3. KW Variant 1 Coilovers
    4. Hotchkis Sways (front and rear)
    5. Pedals (I've got this covered, but they're on my list)

    Hopefully, I can squeeze one or more of these in this year... maybe all of them... if my wife capitulates!

    What are some other low ticket items (stocking stuffers) you'd suggest?

    Also, forum gods: maybe we should set up a competitive bidding thread/forum for the vendors to see who's willing to beat who... kind of like an ebay thing. This would help everyone, not just poor, ole, broke-down me!

    LED interior lights...they add a certain ambiance...if you're into that and cost just a few bucks for the entire car. Also could be in keeping with the christmas theme.

    Um, low ticket..hmm... Those mods you got aren't really low ticket, well low ticket for say Hal or Ron maybe.

    What about some engine or interior stuff from Billet Tech or GSM?

    I know I'm tempted to register for gifts at Billet and GSM. :)

    "if my wife capitulates" - isn't that how you ended up with the baby?

    I'll send you a PM on where I got the best prices on parts, as the vendors aren't supporting vendors here on the Connection.

    GSM has pretty good prices if you PM Scott directly.

    I'd have thought the same thing... but once Baby Pup arrives, there will be no modding... I best do what I can now, this Christmas season!

    For those not in the know: 'we' were looking for a car believed to be loaded with illegal drugs today, hence the Jetta comment.

    I saw that, but the chicken sht forum gods closed the thread before we could respond. If we live until sundown tomorrow, I'll be impressed.

    What would REALLY rock would be to get Ryan so fired up, they ban HIM!

    I seriously think we should get different forum ID's, target Ryan and Drew with such deprevity and insult that they'll be forced to save face and respond so viciously that Hal and the boys will have no choice but to ban them... we both have secure gov internet access... we'll be untraceable! *snicker snicker snicker*

    Screw it! I say we attack the mods!

    I still think they needed to put winking smileys where appropriate in that rules list...

    Driving to my in-laws house down in San Jose (like 40 minute drive) for Asian style turkey and fixins then coming back home and doing all my christmas shopping online. Oh and probably getting a three hour call from Mom. And by Sunday, writing up three papers for school. Wow, I should get started now! :doh:

    What're you all doing?

    Chicken shit? Thanks ... :weep:

    With just under 300 members, I doubt anyone's getting banned anytime soon ('cept gooberMT who's been banned once at least by now). There had to be rules posted sometime.


    As for the topic at hand, are you looking for "looks" or "performance"? A good tune is always the easiest mod, with suspension stuff coming in second (if you're handy with the tools).

    MOMO aka Tattoo!!!!!!!!!!

    You can't fire me up Richard Simmons. It is great though when you wear your white suit and run around screaming, "BOSS DA PLANE!" By the way make sure you take my 4 year olds suit to the cleaners before you return it.

    Damn, too bad I'm not closer or I'd be cruising by after not eating much at the in-laws. :angel: :dance4:

    They're ok, just overfond of experimenting with traditional recipes. No you don't have to put soy sauce in EVERYTHING!

    And will definitely take you up on that offer one of these days. :happy:

    Gotta meet all you characters down there! :woot:

    You LOVE cooking and BBQ'ing... I ENJOY it, but I'm simple minded... and can't do what you do. Plus, 50% of the time, I get to enjoy what ever it is that you cook!

    Dam right men are the best chefs... just not me. You, on the other hand, SHOULD start a restaurant... if I could eat there for free!

    This isn't coincidence. I'm starting a new thread.

    Mike, the tuner is priority UNO, suspension #2. Ergo: I agree with you fully.
