Last month, as some of you know, I installed the tubular header, 10.5 hotside, 3" o2 housing and ACT street clutch kit. Well, this month includes silicon vacuum hosing, dynamat car kit, new Defi boost and oil temp gauges, a Greddy Profec-B Spec II EBC, Fighter's Garage lower intercooler piping, and a few more hot hours in the garage.

Now, my question is....how do I stop buying parts???!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERY D*mn time I go online...I find a new part the I just HAVE TO BUY!!!! Oh yeah, if anyboy is interested in an Autometer Ultra Lite EGT gauge/probe/wiring, and/or an Autometer Ultra Lite Boost gauge...I have them for sale now.

 

how much? i have the same problem

 

It's called impulse control and frankly, almost no one on here has it.

 

It turns out to be around a grand if not a little more every month in mods...is this normal?

 

It is only a problem if you can't afford it, and are dumping it all on unpaid credit.

 

No, the money's not an issue...but I COULD be paying off the student loans quicker! You know when you go out drinking and the next day everybody says "I'm never drinking again!" It's kinda like that, each month I tell myself "Ok, no more mods for awhile...2 weeks later UPS is here each day with a new part that I ordered! I'm so weak!!!!!!!

 

Can you check to see if your single? If you are then you need to get a girlriend/wife upgrade. Not having one can cause a cash leak.

 

Having one causes a MUCH BIGGER cash leak, unless it makes good money of its own...

 

She makes plenty, and the gifts for her aren't nearly as much as the ones for the car...yet.

 

give it time, my fiance seems to suck more money out of me every month

on topic though, if you have the money, i wouldn't worry about not spending it. hell, spend some for both of us!

 

I find myself in the same position. I said no mods, just pay off the car first, but can't stop myself from buying. I swear, this is the most expensive and addicting hobby.

 

I lucked out... The wife never wants anything much. It is actually a pain in the *** sometimes around the holidays.

 

that's the only time my girl doesn't know what she wants

 

STOP surfing the net and you should be ok.
If the evo feels slow one day just borrow someones car and then get back in the evo, it would feel like you just got a new mod.

good luck

 

smoke crack. that'll keep all your money busy on something else.



it's basically the same, but it'll be less expensive.
