Buying Parts

usafimj · November 18th, 2007, 03:29 AM

Well I'm stuck at work waiting for a jet to be refueled so i can go home and was just wondering how everyone pays for there aftermarket parts. I mean do you guys save for it then buy it, bring out the ole CC and charge it, or what. I'm sitting here and I just want to reach into my back pocket, grab my wallet and buy me a full exhaust set up as my first mod. I got the mod fever itch really bad....

just like a junkie.....

HELP!! Don"t know what to do

I save up until I can buy it... then again... I don't have a CC... or a job...

Luis_GT · November 18th, 2007, 03:41 AM

what little money I get from birthday and xmas... I rarely buy stuff, so I have cash most of the time... I also have 2.6 grand in the bank just collecting interests... and I earned 600 bucks in stocks.

oh das kOo, you shouldve bout a hurst! you wouldve had some extra money left over and be able to join my street gang! lol

Luis_GT · November 18th, 2007, 03:59 AM

The hurst is ugly... and it doesn't give me the option of 15% - 50% throw reduction. ( I use mine at about 25%-30% reduction)

i guess your intitled to your opinion.

Hey, I have 10 shifter settings VS your ONE setting. and the MGW is easier to intall too.

ok...if your tryna convince me MGW is better, its never gonna work lol

luis likes to fight.. he's hard headed lol

i save up THEN buy parts.. i'd NEVER take out a loan or anything.. i've got the mod fever (even though i haven't done any mods yet lol) but i still have enough willpower to harness my need for speed until i have the money on hand.. its fun to go fast, but it's not worth getting yourself in debt over

I know... Bwal is trying to convince me to build a Factory Five rather than a Super 7... and he's failing miserably.

i'm not trying to convince you.. i'm just trying to give you facts so you can make a more educated decision.. do whatever you want, but like i said, i wouldn't trust any book that says you can build a caterham for $250 lol

You can't... unless you live in the UK and can find a used Escort MK1 for 75 pounds to take the drivetrain (the book is british) which is impossible in this day and age.

BWAL · November 18th, 2007, 04:55 AM

do whatever you want, but don't blame me when you realize you can't build a car from scratch lol

Luis_GT · November 18th, 2007, 05:01 AM

I'm gonna make you eat those words... belive me

BWAL · November 18th, 2007, 05:02 AM

i'll be looking forward to it

in all seriousness though.. if you pull it off somehow, my hat's off to you

I try and save here and there, or I use plastic, but I don't put large items on the credit cards. I also have a savings bond I I use, and I put 60 bucks a week in that. When I'm ready, I cash out the no-penalty bond, and a check lands in my mailbox in about 5 business days. It's not hard to save 6 or 7 hundred bucks with that for parts.
