View Full Version : No more modding for me

I've decided not to mod my car anymore. I don't think it's wise for me financially. I don't have a house and I'm in debt with school loans. So I think it's wise for me to get out of debt and then put myself back into debt by buying a house. But the house is an investment so that doesn't count.
There are too many things that I want to do with my car but can't make my mind up about. I don't want to do too many things but just enough. I want wheels, but lightweight 19" one's with a lip. I want a sportec front, s4 rear but don't want to pay $500+ for side skirts. I want to get a K04 to gain moderate power w/o giving up reliability, but then that means I have to take out my GIAC and get a K04 program which means I have to spend more money. I guess I have to pursue my dream to marry rich if if I'm going to make these mods possible.
This post is pointless, guess I just wanted to vent.

lol so true.. i told myself many times that i'd stop, and i think i finally got it down after many tries and many times... i need to get other things in life taken care of and the car is at the bottom of the list... if you stick to it, you can actually cut down the mods to little things and then eventually stop all together..

Buy a house.
Don't get side skirts.
Get some cheap 19s.
Wait for the GIAC K04 software to come out so you at least get a discount.

Oh yah, I totally forgot about the GIAC K04 program coming out.
What about Axis Supermesh in 19"s? Are they pretty heavy? They look like it.

I should stop modding specially with my wedding coming up next year. But that damn bug is still in me and I dont know how to get it out [:D]
Buy a house and forget about everything else for now. That's what I'm doing. It's not so bad! But damn I really want a new exhaust. Paint my moldings. KO4. Refinish my rims. Get new rotors. Damn.

Yeah, they are pretty damn heavy, but so are my RS4s. If you like the Sportec look maybe get the Flik Justice. All cheaper wheels are going to be heavy, but you can always rock them for a while and sell them later for a down payment on some good wheels. Thats what I'm doing.
I would save my money to buy a house, but I don't make near enough money for it to be worth saving. Might as well enjoy my money now and wait until I graduate this year and get a decent job to start saving for a house. At least I won't have to worry about transportation when it comes time to purchase a place.

I actually thought about that, but it's just not a pratical car for me.

I simply look at as what I need verses what I want. I want coil covers, slotted rotors, and big brakes. I do not need them until my driving technique improves and my track time drop. Then watch out, I can justfy everything.
