$300 WHAT SHOULD I DOO!

Post by mad_keen »

ive got 300 bux credit at a local performance shop, they sed look on the net and find something u want and theyll get it in but i hav no idea wat to get.

the money was to buy high comp pistons in the rebuild kit but then didt think it was worth it ive already thort of cam, intake pipe and spacers but i dont really want to do them anymore. so i thort id get tint and thats being organised next week but if anyone can think of something better for around that much i mite consider it . i think theyll be giving me cost price to around the $400 mark will be fine. :thumbsup:
