how do you guys afford to mod your car...? im moving out soon and iv gone over my budget over and over and i cant find any spare money to mod my car..... even if i did i work 30 minutes away from home and id be worried that if i start modding it to much that one day i will walk out to my car to go to work and it wont work..... does anybody else have this problem?

umm yea ..... thats life bro....this why i dont have an h or k series in my car by now :squintrun:

lol ....you need to find ways of cutting down your expenses....another thing is you can buy stuff to mod your car and put it to the side and just hold on to it until your ready to mod it ....that or just get a better job or go back to school and dont move out

It's about priorities, which is why more isn't done to my car.

As we get older, we have more priorities/responsibilities.

For me, things like school loans, home ownership/renovations.

Doesn't help that I am not working as much as I was, but as priorities change, some things become lower on the 'list'. Modding a car, for me, is not as high as I would like it to be....for the time being.....I try to do little things every now and then, but eventually, everything works out.

Work, save and get 'er done as you're able!

patience

if u want to mod your car, i would suggest with small mods that wont actually harm the car... Intake, headers, and exhaust are usually the basics that i dont think will harm your car and you can get these for not much now days. its also about being smart too... a $180 aem intake has the same increase as a $25 K&N filter with $12 ebay intake pipes... you can cut corners in some places but dont cut corners everywhere

to get my car how it was when i was finished with it took me about 2 years so as you can see it takes time and patience... and my car wasnt even that nice

and his car was nice....compared to mines :thinking:
