decisions on mods...now or later? alright guys, Im going to the Marines real soon, actually May 26th I leave for bootcamp and its 13 weeks long.
so the car will sit for 3 months while im in bootcamp, one reason I havn't really gotten into modding it.
so the question is.
should I buy some susp. mods for the car before bootcamp and slap them on and drive around and enjoy it for at best 2 weeks?
or should I buy a busmaster AR-15 that'll basically be what i'm issued and have it for a long long time. (im a gun guy, just turned 18 and love AR's)
the mods will come after bootcamp, so its not a question of IF i'll get them... so the question is mod it now and possibly enjoy it for 2 weeks or so IF i get time to put the parts on, or mod it after bootcamp when I'll have more cash for more mods and defintely the time to do it?
the mods are
LS6 intake/ported TB
BMR adjustable LCA's
blisten HD shocks
BMR lowering springs
adjustable panhard bar

Wait until after boot camp. Forget the whole AR-15 thing. Let the Marine Corps teach you how to shoot. Not to mention that once you're in the FMF and living in the barracks, you won't be able to take the gun (or any firearm, for that matter) with you. It would be a waste of money. If you wait until after recruit training you'll have more money for mods.
Better yet, just wait until you deploy a couple of times so you can pay off the car and then drop a couple of grand into some nice wheels, full exhaust, full intake, and a cam?

Why are you going reserves instead of active?

And good luck spending four years in the reserves without deploying.
