Ok As I have said in the past I drive a silver 1999.5 Tour LX I have been given the go ahead to fix up the Tour from my wife with her blessing, and now with taxes, and a great job I have saved up several thousand dollars. I want alot of mods, at reasonable prices (more bang for my buck) so If you all in the club would help me I would really appreciate it, and if I have ever stepped on anyones toes in the club, please accept my deepest appologies. I am going to put down what I need and if you can provide contact info,prices, pros and cons, and what ever else you think will help. Thanks for the help in advance, and no I will not get a different car, I own this one:)
The mods I am looking into are:
*new paint- Taken care of going all pearl white with a hint of purple
*Wheels and rims-Thank you Pascal I ordered them thursday
*Big Brake Kit-
Strut/spring combo
*Interior- Taken care of, MY rice friends.
*Pilar pods and guages-
*Front strut bar
*front sway bar
*rear tower strut support-I am most likley going with Chris on this one
*rear sway bar
*exhaust system(duel)
*Intake/ filter
*who are the definate ones on a turbo kit, which one will be the best
*plugs+wires
*super chip
*computer/engine management system
*under drive pullys
*N2O (NOS) VCN-2000?
*Automatic shifter replacement
*brake lever replacement
*Fog lights
*Stearing Wheel
*Stand Alone fuel System-Do I even need one of these with the turbo
*Spoiler
*Driving bulbs
*reverse hood latches
*cam geams
*new Headers
*upgraded ignition
*Blow off valves
*side mirrors with lights
*Body kit-Taken care of HellaHydros kit with stock SVT front end with the Mirko Spitter
*roll bar
*super flow fuel pump (Venom)
*fuel rails
*bigger injectors
*boost controlers
*Intercooler-will this be included in both turbos
and any thing else you all can come up with.Yes I *have done a search and read for the past few weeks, and have a million notes, but I figure I will just post and see what help I get. Remember this is the 2.0l 4cyl DOHC w/ VCT 1999.5 Tour So I dont get answers for parts that will not fit a 4cyl. Thanks again.-Sunny

But another thing - how much damn money did you save??? Geez that's a long list! If you're going w/ a turbo, I think the intake/filter part will be included, so a separate unit should not be needed. Best dual exhaust I can recommend is the SVT exhaust. I did it and gained about 2hp on the top half of the RPM range (dyno-proven). I think the Aussie Bar is a rear sway, but not sure if you can get them right now. Might want to throw this in the Zetec or General Mods sections.
125.2 FWHP - 126.5 FWTQ
SVT exhaust (#4 of 9) - B&M FPR - Custom CAI - bnoon optimized TB #1 & 2 (beat that!!)
Black '98.5 SE Zetec MTX
Best quote seen in a chat - "Jinx 12345678910 you owe me a naked picture of yourself!"

I have a little over six grand that I have saved from last year, and into this year. The paint job is only 900 bucks, the interior is around 700, and wheels and rims are 1300 so I still have a little over 3100 bucks left. I was toying with just putting that into a Audi a-6 but I dont want another payment. And I love my Tour. How many HP do you all think I could get with those mods?

I do understand that the turbo, which ever one is offered for sale, is going to run 3-5K so dont take the turbo or parts relating to the turbo into effect, but contact info for them would be helpfull on this, I can afford it when it comes to it. I do have a great job,and my wife pays all the bills..She has a really good Job, some may say that makes me a bumb others say Im lucky as hell, either way I love her, she gave me the ok , and she actually is talking part in this Talk about a great person, the only stipulation was she got new tires and rims for the Slowburban... So just figure in the other stuff-Thanks Sunny
