I owe and Im about to do a H/C package. I just did a 90/90 and I have other goodies for it too. I military and have it taken out automatically so I dont worry about it. I still have 12 years to go in the AF so the payments will be made, lol.

I just bought my car a little over a month ago and I've got an SLP lid so far but my girlfriend is getting me UMI SFCs and my parents are getting me a Pro 5.0 for Christmas.

I can see mod'ing while making payments for a car you are buying but mod'ing on a leased car is just insane. I'm not sure what is worse, mod'ing a car you will end up returning or leasing and mod'ing a car you wind up buying...To each his own I guess..

I wouldnt do anything crazy if I still owed alot on it b/c I work part time so get the hours that are available (full time people are first) but if I had a steady full time job/ paycheck I wouldnt heasitate on modding right away, just make sure the payment is made and that if anything breaks you can afford to fix it

I already had mod parts for the 2000 Z28 before I brought it home from the dealership

I waited until my 89 Formula was paid off to do anything major with the Knight Rider conversion I was doing. When I picked up my 2000, I started modding after about 4 months. I still have a little over 3 years until it's paid off. Mods I've done in the sig.

I think it's one of those things that if you know you have steady income and no matter what you'll be able to float the payment, go for it. I've worked at my same job for the last 11 1/2 years. It's not like I'm floating job to job trying to scrape up silver change to make my car payment.

Well to reply to my own thread I owe 4 grand and i will start modding it after college. This car will never leave my possesion even if I have to work 10 jobs to afford it.

I would do bolt ons, but nothing like heads/cam, FI or something that will cost a lot of money. Spending thousands of dollars on mods doesnt make any sense, that money would make better sense going to paying it off.

i didnt have any major mods done till after it was paid off. making payments is top priority. i keep my mileage low and stay patient.

i have modded mine and still owe, but i wish i hadnt cuz i broke some stuff due to the extra power, and paying for a new tranny and rear end both within six months and still oweing monthly hurt my wallet and my credit cards bad... its a lot easier to get in this kinda trouble if you have the payment, looking back i definitely wish i woulda waited. just my .02 cents though

Modding is a drug it is unavoidable

just for that reason our cars should be illegal

...or is it that drugs should be legal?

I had full bollt-ons that wouldn't void warrenty. As soon as I rolled 36k... I had my procharger installed that sat in the spare bedroom wating on the day to come. I will get rid of my wife before I get rid of that car. She knows this too and dares not come between my car and I. Yes I am psychotic like that and only have 2 payments left. I bought it brand new in dec of 01', it's an 02. Figured there were more of us, im a little shocked.
