Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 2m 5d Gender: Male Posted 01/11/10 10:26 PM Share Posted 01/11/10 10:26 PM paid cash for my car, then saved another $3grand and bought a ford festiva with rwc and reg. drive that during the week and the xr6t on weekends,over the year saved $10grand and spent it on mods. if the t does break down got the festiva as back up while I save again. missus gives me $150 a week to save for the car now to do stuff on. as the rest goes on homeloan and living. can't complain though as some blokes have to lie to get mods done. takes a little longer to get it done, but don't owe anything on the car, plus we have her company car if we need to go out with.

Half of any overtime to the new house, half to the car, no compromises. I'm not allowed to touch my base pay and we have no children. I've been tought my whole life to work hard for what you want and I have no respect for cars funded with filthy money nor the pin dicks that roll around in them.

Turbo6FG Silver Donating Members 497 Member For: 14y 9m 25d Gender: Male Posted 02/11/10 02:33 AM Share Posted 02/11/10 02:33 AM Save the money, do the mod. IMHO if you have to borrow money to mod your car you cant afford to mod it. Whats plan B is something fails? Borrow more money...?? Like people who want to fit big exhaust systems, injectors & intercoolers without getting a tune because they can't afford it, then they blow up their motor or end up with a car that runs like sh*t, turning a cult car into a bogan vehicle which puts it higher on the police target list.It's like selling your house to buy a Bugatti Veyron then realising you can't afford to replace the tyres.

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 1m 3d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 02/11/10 02:46 AM Share Posted 02/11/10 02:46 AM Slow savings, second hand buys from the forum. I hate being in CC debt, experienced that after a trip to the USA. Not fun! The base car loan is bad enough I let the xcal3 sit for a year or something, the nizpro cooler for 6 months, then once I had the cash saved for the tune/injs/exhaust it all went on. Coincidentally it took almost exactly as long to save for these once I bought the car, as I had warranty remaining, 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
