Tax return! What should i do with it?

well right off i need to go ahead and save some of it for tires because the stock advans are going to **** really fast.... Next should i go ahead and replace that factory clutch? it has slipped quite a bit already... but only has 4300miles on it. Beyond should i get exhaust or a fuel computer? then it comes to exhaust cat back or what? my state you have to have the cat's to pass inspection so and when it comes to computers should i get a super afc or a greddy emanage? i have a laptop to tune it with so....... just some opinions on how to spend my tax return please thanks or none of the above????

Well it all really depends on how much you are getting. How much are you getting, or if you wanna keep that private, around how much. That will be alot of help. And yes to using it to mod, of course what else would you logically do. I mean what the hell, go all out!

First thing to do...

Reduce your withholding rate!!!

You just gave the bastards an interest free loan of $1200!!

This way you will accumulate money for the next mod that much quicker.

Invest in an interest bearing account, build it up so that in a year or two you can still have the $1200.00 then GET those mods for your car..

Or score some parts at cost from a vendor, sell them on e-bay or these boards, and then get your mods!!

Just some thoughts..challange yourself fer crying out..

Blowing it before you have it is EASY..

You need tires, you want an exhaust.
