Xmas present for BF??

[AllEyesOnMe]

i was to buy my boyfriend a supercharger for chirstmas but im not sure if its out...is it??..and if its not what should i get him....im planning on spending between one to two grand on him....he was saying something about a hoodscoop?!?!....what would you guys or girls want your loved one to get you for chirstmas and what should i get him...He has a red GTS??

[LEAVECIVICSINTHEDUST]

Get him a new crack pipe!

[01 Spectra GT-S]

No offense or anything so please don't take this so seriously

Why spend some much? lucky him, but are you paying him to be with you or something???? :D

Cuz if you love him, then you love him. and he should know, there is no need to spend that much money just to show him that. If he really loves you, then he won't mind even if you don't get him anything.

I'm not sure about your bf, but for me, I don't accept anything from my gf thats more then $50. Beasue I can afford the stuff that i need and there is no point to have my gf to use her money buying things I want. Also a relationship is not base on money and stuff you ger for each other.:)

[ishido]

So far there is no supercharger for the GTS. There is a turbo by XS engineering in CA but that'll put you at $6K.

Performance mods:
Intake (cold air or short) $200-250
Exhaust $400-650
Suspension (depends on what he wants to do)
Strut braces (front/rear) $150-350

Appearance mods:
there are lots of people who have bought the hood scoop that can fill you in.

With at least $1K you could get a bodykit... getting it painted is another deal.

two ****ing grand? WTF.... All my GF is getting me is a N64 and Both Zelda's.. WTF. I need a woman like that

[AllEyesOnMe]

well....my Bf and i have been together for almost five years....and he has been hinting to get me a ring....and i know he knows i love him..he has been taking me out shopping and filling each and every of my needs. i just want to make my BF happy...what's wrong with that??
anyway...:D ....my Bf already has the kaminari front bumper, intake, struts, and a bunch of necessities...hmm.....how much are hoodscoops??

[AllEyesOnMe]

BY the WAy...his engine has just been blown and he hasn't gotten it back since september...they barely working on it....so what do you think would suprise him??

hehe.. my question is do you have any single friends :)..haha

[ctkrider]

u can get him, OR give him a 3 angle, port and polish :shocked

[Trial00GTS]

haha.... larryd

[ctkrider]

but seriously, to answer your question, a hoodscoop costs $175 painted. Why not get him:

Package one:some 18" rims with tires

Package two: or carbon fiber hood, new hoodscoop, and Rod Millen Carbon Fiber wing

Package three: a Alpine, Eclipse, or Clarion in dash Head/sceen unit w/ in dash DVD player

Package four: TRD clutch, TRD LSD, and Tom's flywheel

All these packages range from about $1000-$2000

hope this helps

[Trial00GTS]

theres a bunch of things you could get... hmmm

Cluctch set ($300-$400)
flywheel ($400-$450)
TRD LSD (about a grand)

those are some things i want!

but install $$ is going to kick u in the butt...so i hear

[Trial00GTS]

more like $450-$600

[static]

Yeah, I recommend getting him an LSD and upgraded clutch. That should bring you right around the amount you want to spend... and yes.. I'll take a single friend too please :D

[Takeoff]

If you want to spend that much money you might want to find out what kind of rims he wants. You can get rims and tires for about that much. It all depends on what kind though. It would probably be the easiest thing to get too.

In my opinion, with that kind of budget, get him a *real* gift.

A supercharger is nothing, it's something to brag to his friends about. With a great woman at his side, a man doesn't need toys to boost his ego.

Get him a weekend school at the nearest driving acadamy. I don't know where you are located, but Bob Bonderaunt's school of high performance driving comes to mind (arizona I believe), so does the Derek Daily driving school (Vegas I believe, nice wedding/honeymoon package, hint, hint). Out east, there are the Panoz schools, and a few others.

Do a search on the net for "High Performance Driving School" and see what comes up in your area.

A gift like that will probably change his life if he is into cars. A supercharger will be gone with yesterday's bread when something better comes along.

Why not learn to drive what you have, and gain focus about the things you really want, rather than just buy the latest toy in an artificial search for happiness. Is he happier *driving* the car or just looking at it?

Any of the really good suspension packages (Sportivo, Hotchkis, Tien) can be had for about that much. Thats what I would want from my honey (but I know I'm not gonna get :()

[autxr]

Yeah, but a good driver on stock suspension will absolutely whip a bad/average driver with fancy suspension.

[Novus]

I'm with Scott on this one. If you really want to spend that kind of money buy your BF an experience not just a thing. Racing schools are a lot of fun.

Hey, I kinda agree with you there. 2 grand is a lot of money (sounds like even more for me as a Canadian) but I don't usually want to drop a whole load of cash for a gift.
Even if my bf and I didn't get anything for each other, it doesn't matter. I know it sounds corny, but as long as we have each other, I'm happy about that.

[CelicaNamja79]

dang lucky him too.. i need me a women like dat...hew.. wellzz
my GF is gettin alarms for both of our celica... so dat will run her about $700 easy.... so i aint complaining... i am bout to spend $300 for her too.. she wants AlX jacket..... okiee.. fair deal...

[XskoopX]

2 Grand, get him....
ACT clutch=280
Toms Flywheel=600
Quiafe Limited Slip differential=995

Boy friend down on his knees proposing to his FUTURE WIFE = PRICELESS!:D

FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, THERE'S NEWCELICA (DOT) ORG!

so i take it you dont have any cute single friends like urself huh :)

[DrivenFast]

It's the thought that counts. But girl 2 grand is a lot of thoughts. To each his/her own, I guess. Good luck.

[Miguel GTS]
