^^^True, but you gotta have toys, man.

I HEAR YA MAN, BUT IF YOURE GONNA GO INTO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT, AT LEAST USE THE TOYS, YA KNOW??

This is a interesting question, one that I've always wondered myself. See I figured most guys are in car clubs, & those guys have good-sized discounts on parts. Now me, I plan to start modding the car, but I use my Taxes to propel me towards having one free check per month.

That free check should take care of at least one mod per month, or Down payments on mods( I.E the roughly $700-ish you need to put down at Sprayglo to have them paint your car).

Now my car club leader works at a collision shop, so body work,& paint can be done by him there. I'm going to Sprayglo because I wanna get something...interesting. lol

Now the best advise I can offer is this. Leaarn your car, then goto websites that specifically deal with your particular car. That way you can see what others have done, & find out how much it cost them, & if they can help/hook you up.

Like I have a 00 Celica, so I was sent to a all celica site, got a hookup with powdercoater, headporter,& very detailed info on boosting the car safely, & good estimate on pricing. That allowed me to better formulate a strategy on what/how I wanted my car to look/perform.....Vegeta

A few years ago I could blow major cash on my toys, but now that we have a baby it has slowed down a lot.

I have been building my RB26 for 6 months now and still have about 2 months before I can finish it.

i agree

if you're not seriously into drifting or going to be thinking about doing it professionally and have the money ON HAND to be doing this kind of shit.

you're only digging yourself a whole by putting all of it on credit

i'd rather just better the aesthetics to my car and have just a tad bit more power to make me happy, i dont have to prove the size of my wang and beat every other car out there.

and i fully realize i dont have the pocket, balls, or skill to race my car on a track so thats not an option either

so the way i see it is, only spend your extra cash that you have on you on your car and get your bills paid, so keep it simple unless your bankin
