Well boys, there is a little rule that I follow in life: you're never too young to make your dreams come true :)

Also, it's control - I divide my money like so;

50% Savings and General Spending

25% on my woman

25% on my car

As you can see; the biggest winner is still ME and the EQUAL placegetters are my car and my woman. No arguements from either :D However, once the mods come to an end - the percentage towards it will 'lean' out and 'richen' towards my woman :D

I just hit it lucky I guess; none of this would be possible now if it wasn't for the care and support of my friend/boss. I owe most of my life to her right now :lol:

And as for the young thing in my reply before; I'm 19 so there's still a long way to go before I'm done :D

Geez

My budget is more like :

50% - CAR

10% - MISSUS

40% - SAVINGS

Im hoping that after my next purchase (tyres) things will slow down a bit :O

It sucks doing approx 15 hours of overtime per week to try and cover my modding addiction. lol

0% living???

I am in the same boat, when ever something goes wrong I think..nah ill sell my car it costs too much! But then its so nice to drive and so many aftermarket mods to buy :O

My monthly paycheque is:

25% Loan

35% Living

40% Car

The girlfriend gets what ever is left out of living :lol:

i am hopeless with money. I just buy things i want basically.

I have invested a fair amount of money into property (i own a 2 bed appartment).

I bought the GTR and Soarer but don't owe any money on them.

my problem is i just buy pretty much what i want, so even though i have plenty of money coming in, it all goes out again :O

I guess my mortgage is a kind of savings, and i do still put away a few hundred a week (mostly). I just have to try and restrain my self when it comes to spending on the car. it's tough though.

ok i can see you all have something in common.....

i am another that can be added to the list, lately my divisions are:

80% - CAR

20% - woman

0% me and savings...

and yeh im only 20!!!

cars are a money pit, i know this but i just love making it go faster!!!!!

Geez

My budget is more like :

50% - CAR

10% - MISSUS

40% - SAVINGS

Im hoping that after my next purchase (tyres) things will slow down a bit :rolleyes:

You will grow out of it one day tommy , i don't know when though , i still haven't but who cares ....

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
