Just don't know how all you guys do so many mods to your cars.
Today I successfully spent the better half of $1000 on replacing my shocks and tyres. Having a normal car is so expensive let alone doing anything to it.

yeah... it's like everytime you go to make an improvement, that money you have saved has to go to fixing something broke
ah well.. at least it drives!

Hi Rob
True, True. Angry at having to spend so much on it, but willing to pay for quality. Have to say the guys did a good job and I'm happy with the result.

WHAT THEY SAID... it also takes DEDICATION & SACRIFICE
basically one way to see it is; do you want to get pissed and carried home, or are you prepared to drink less so you can buy those rims next week sorta thing
that may be an extreme hypothetical but you get the idea
no point replacing shocks with the same type shocks when down the track your thinking of putting better/stiffer shocks. do it now and same in the long run. it makes it hard when your not prepared now for later
