So is it me
 

Or is anyone else feeling the financial pressure impact their ability to work on their cars?

just you, hehe. Ive spent about 2k in the past week on mine

Depends on who you talk to, I know I am but I have a mortgage, car payment and two kids so careless spending is on hold for the most part.

Yea ok.* That is because you live in your mom's basement and have nothing better to spend you money on than your car that hasnt driven a mile in almost 2 years lolWhat a never ending money pit.* I thought it was bad with all the money I spent on the Evo to only have like 470WHP as full potencial with the mods I did.* You manage to find a way to spend just as much to get a car that hasnt run and when it does finally run wont have anywhere near the potencail on the Evos mods.* More money to get more.* Atleast your car is a little lighter than my Evo was.


You dumb J

I have not fix or bought aftermarket parts.
I am enjoying my brand new 2008 Lancer (not really brand new but 2 years old)
and Ouched to my mileage about 52,000 miles.

I will put aftermarket parts on 100,000 miles when the car is totally paid off.

Sounds good, best of luck with the aftermarket. I on the other hand bought a car that's needing repairs left and right. w00t anyone?

lol okay... are you gal? I saw bangles on your wrist.
Just to remind you painting your dash will not make your car go faster.

I would skip that for AWHILE and concentrate on minor tuning like buying engine modified parts. I would start with CAI or SRI, Plugs, etc etc.

what kind of a car. you probably bought the way it is. which is a big mistake

you seen a blury picture and i have a silver bracelet on. didn't know that made me a girl... or does that just make you insecure with your own sexuality...

and no **** retard i know paint doesnt make the car faster why dont you go to the civic forums i think you would fit in better there.. this thread is about mods not HP mods only just mods

i installed a million LEDs (hmm still not stock..'modded')
i painted my dash and other junk (yup a MOD)
and as far as what you would do i could care less, its my car and its a damn chevy aveo and has 103hp..just like an eclipse it will never be fast so i may as well make it work for me.
as far as an CAI, sure thats in the mail now... an exhaust has to be custom made.. got new plugs and wires already

so foreal your no master car guy let me do what i want to do to my cars and keep your 2cents to yourself
