i just found out that my car wont be paid off till alittle over 3 more years. Ive always wanted to modify my car to have a 2.4 mani intake, exhaust headers and etc. also at least SuperCharging it. down side is that my car is automatic and turbo would be to hard on the tranny from what ive heard. should i keep my car and continue modifying it or should i just wait till i trade my car for the ss or a better car?

Do little things like Intake, Exhaust, maybe headers too. Don't go nuts, especially with an FWD. If you have it for 3 years try and have a little fun; that's what I'm doing for the 5 years I have left.

Thanks guys, ill take all your advices. And yes, i will like having my car paid off and not paying car payment. After all, my car still has pretty low miles, got almost 74k now. will have about 1k-2k worth of stuff in my car before this summer ends. got no time to do stuff to my car besides oil change at the moment lol

8k left on the loan 160/mo, 7k+ in aftermarket and performance parts and minor services in 15 months I've owned it.

Cheaper to build your own kit instead of zzp. Although zzp is fucking awesome

You're going to need extra parts on top of the zzp kit anyways. Would you rather spend 150-200 a month for 6 months to get the parts you need and still have extra after your income for bills or drop 2.5k+ all at once and break the bank? Just sayin

I've had 3 different jobs.
Held 2 of them over 6months.
Made over $500 each paycheck.
I'll get a good return.

Olympic or Summit?
