Birthday Upgrades for the teggy.

Hey everyone!

It's coming up to my birthday and i've been given $1000 to use on my 96' Teggy. The first thing that came to mind was a scissor door conversion, which can be purchased for under $1k. Has anyone had experience with these and be honest, will I look like a loser opening the doors up in public?

Anyone have other ideas for things that can be done with this money. No engine work guys, insurence will luub me up and rape me.

Thanks. (feel free to pm me if you have shit at home you dont need)

just do some performance mod, like air intake, header, cat back, honestly that kind of door just doesn't suit any jdm cars, i think it will look stupid, good luck man

Suspension dude....some proper shocks/springs combo..that will be one of the best investments ever spent on your car...i'm not a big fan of scissor doors as well...and i'm not too sure if insurance will wanna insure you as well with scissor doors because "what if" u are in an accident and the doors are modified and u cant get out. hehe..hypotheticals..u know the drfit.

And yes, you will look like a looser in public.

scissor doors i beleive can be a little flimsy..ive seen em on a civic and they looked like they were bout to fall off..and yes u might look like a wanker (sorry)

PS. POST A PIC OF UR CAR SO WE CAN SEE WHAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR IT

lol at sireal's last comment.

i think you should write a list of the things you want, eitehr audio, visual, or performance, once you rate them form most priority to least, then start to plan out what u want.

i had around 1 grand when i 1st got my car and the 1st 3 thigns i did was subs, springs and short shifter (got springs and short shifter cheap) and yeh, form there i decided other things but the point is think about what u really want out of your car, coz in the end, who gives a crap what others think, your the one driving it :)

also there aree alot of mods u can do very cheaply, like RAM air intake can cost less than 70 dollars or so

oh yeah HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

manual conversion :p ;)

:wave:

and maybe minus a cannon :)

It would look funny if the car is stock with sissor doors. And pretty sure insurance wouldn't allow it unless its engineered (which will cost $$$$). I say get some outside mods done if you can't do any performance. Get a kit or wheels or suspension, etc....

i would get a sound system if i had a grand..at least u and people in ur car can enjoy it!

i just put the last installment into my stereo..another $1000 down the drain hehe

maybe some HID's, and maybe lower it with some new springs
