Well, after just installing my clear indicators (and they are fully sik) Im planning on swapping steering wheels (my current one is ****ed). After that, I think im heading to sydney to swap my exhaust for extractors and 2.5 inch jobbie, then I think i will stop spending for a while. Thats until I save up some cash, and will invest in some FR type simmons, fix the paintwork up a little bit, etc

My long term plans include buying a XR6 wreck and stealing motor, diff and trans. Following that will be a direct copy of the first person who runs a low 14 N/A in a falcon. Or i might just turbocharge and be done with it. Or perhaps by then I could afford a BA XR6 turbo......hrmmm

We'll see how it goes.

Garth, I was speaking to Hus and he said that the Mocks have run a 14.2 in an EA-ED Falcon... and the fastest he has heard of N/A was a 13.8! I'd love to know more about that car.

Shite! I think i'd like to know more too!

thinking more about it now, the weight of the EL will always kill me, if i go fast N/A I will probably go another light EA and keep trashing T5's

If i get too excited and decide to go Forced Induction (it is inevitable) I'll go that way with the EL (who cares about weight with 400 odd kw) or trade up to a BA.

Damn money. If i only I won the lotto (sigh)

Money is evil.. though at least it makes me appreciate each small thing i manage to afford.

I see some of the cars around like fully worked XR6 turbos, slammed mercs, autosalon/summernats/other-show style cars.. and swear at (but also admire in jealousy) the guys who own them for having the cash to do this stuff!

Do they not have families? kids? rent? dont they eat or drink? how do they do it? :(

Ah well.. my mods might come slow and few between, but i can see the end and i'm happy to slowly tread the path to get there :)

The guys I know with show cars/hell fast street type cars get their money from either

Parents
Selling Drugs
Inheritance
Bank Loans (which they now find hard to pay off when still on apprentice wages i might add!)

Only one dude I know actually has worked hard to get his car, and its his car I appreciate the most. It might not be a slammed merc or whatever, but the old Monaro sure goes hard and the chicks love it. I know this is my situation only, and shouldnt be made into a generalisation of how ppl afford their cars...but you gotta wonder

Im planning to work for my car. Then possibly live in it. House prices suck!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did this set you back? I am currently shopping around myself.

Yer I wanna get mine tinted too soon.. summer sun is a killer. What's the deal with "limo" tint? what does that mean? And is mirror-tint legal in NSW?
