I usually just buy stuff and hope I get to the mail box before she does. If I dont then I Just half the cost of everything.

We have separate accounts and not yet married, she gives me sh*t and calls me a bogan, so I just give it back how much she spends on her horse. Have not yet started performance mods, so this thread will come in handy, as will my secret cash stash. Any money under $10note goes in at the end of the day.

When I met my wife, I arrogantly told her that the car (Valiant Charger) comes before her. Anyway, she married me and now strangely enough she doesn't say much about my spending. Weird huh?!

With my Xr ute, well........ its a work expense and I do all the financials. (Read: I do whatever I want). :tonguepoke:

or you could simply tell her you want the plenum kit etc and buy her 1 too for the territory and keep it on a semi valet tune

New one to add to the list.

Have been buttering her up since the first round of mods (4 months ago) so I could get a Process West Street Plenum Kit...

Luke (Agent Orange) had a second hand one for sale, and I'd mentioned it to the missus only 20 minutes before my mates turned up at home. Anyhow, one of the boys just supercharged his Monaro, and after spending $17000 (NO sh*t!) was there when he payed for it.. he has changed the rockers, cams, clutch, tranny, exhaust headers, added a cooler, blah blah blah, and is only running 6 psi and turning out 450 to 500 rwhp.

Anyhow, he was slagging off the turbo in front of the missus, and Bam!!! She lets blurt with, Matty is buying a new cooler and some more stuff for the car, and it's costing a lot less than $17000. BOOOOYAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Now I'm getting a Street Plenum Kit :buttrock:

this thread is a win, I normally do the following

halve the cost of all mods

time the tuning to coincide with services - ah they have to wait for a part from melbourne so it might be ther a few days :)

tell her that QIK1 was upgrading so I got his old stuff for stuff all - true half the time :shocked: - but still halve it

fit parts in the 5am to 9am time slot while she sleeps

take her to the drags - she enjoys when I win but if I lose to another turbo BAM "meh, few hunjie and I could beat him next time"

the fact that she doens't know much about cars is a big win

My missus did not want me to supercharge my ghia 3v v8 cause she wanted a car so I got her aka me an XR6 Turbo and she is so happy with the turbo I can do what I want to my ghia.

my mate just got a turbo as well and now she want ours to be faster then his lol

not bad for someone who did not like cars when I meet her
