I Just wanted to introduce myself to the Forum. I just bought an 02 MP5 and I'm loving it. I'm diggin this forum too!

I'm thinkin my first mods are either some 17" Tenzo Mean 6s or Injen CAI w/Magnaflow Catb.

What would you do first?

(hi) welcome to the club

I would get the intake/exhaust, then save up and get the car dropped with rims next.

We usually meet-up on Wed nights at Krispy Kreme in Mountain View, but last night didn't really happen. I've been pushing for a meet/drive up Hwy 9 on Friday night.
Check out the Hwy 9 fun run thread for info on all the Bay Area meets.

See you in the hills!

What would you do first?I would do intake exhaust first. I would also rethink the tenzo mean 6 if you plan on dropping it. They dont come in the right offset. Check out the tire/suspension section of the forum for more info. Try 5ZIGEN Supersix or G Racing Kuma. Both an equal look to the Tenzos but witha comparable offset to fit the fitment recipe. Any more ???s please fell free to pm me.

Welcome! It sounds like you have some $$ to spend. I recommend the K&N Typhoon CAI. About the same price as the Injen, but it also converts to sri. Not that you would want to. It's just what I have and recommend. And do the exhaust too. Look around the forum, you'll see lots of cheap dress up mods you can doo too. Good luck! Oh yeah, you should ask people about pricing for parts and stuff to see where you can get the best deals.
