i've been wanting to go FI ever since i got my car but never had the money. now that i've ridden in a few turbo Gs/Zs, i want a turbo more than ever. has anyone ever heard of shops/companies allowing you to finance a turbo and pay minimal interest? The best route is definitely to wait until i have enough money, but if there is a safe alternative, i'm willing to give it a try. thanks

 

Vivid Racing? http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/vivid.php/cPath/3510

BTW, I haven't had any experience with them. I just saw that particular link today.

 

If you want Greddy or Power Enterprise, check out EDO Performance. They have financing options.

Look into being able to finance $10,000 to get your blown motor Z back up and running just in case as well. Financing a turbo kit is very dumb IMO.

 

if you can't afford to pay cash for the turbo kit, you have no business going forced induction. What happens when your motor blows? You're 6k in the hole for a kit you can't use, with a car you can't drive, because your financed turbo kit blew your motor.

 

As is financing a car wasn't a bad idea...why would you finance a turbo like Alberto has said only to blow up your block? Then you have potentially two sets of payments on a car that can't run...

 

Sell your Z and turbo a cheaper car, or better yet, mod a factory F/I car. If you can't afford to do it, don't do it.

Financing a turbo kit is beyond asinine.

Definitely even worse than financing a Dell computer.

-Mike (can't afford to do it either)

 

you win the quote of the day... +1

 

+1 very bad idea,just like said before if you cant afford the problems that may arise later dont do it.

 

its definitely just a thought. if anything, im a noob to turbos and if i did go turbo (pretty sure in the future when i do have the money), i have my mind set on the APS ST wihtout rebuilding.

 

there is no difference between financing and putting it on a credit card. If that is what you want, do it! ..........but understand what you may be getting into.

also, plan ahead. there are always so many little extras add in when adding a FI setup.. It is NEVER a perfect thing. There are always compromises!!!

 

if u can pay it off in 1 yr then sign up for a new cc with those no interest and no payment plans for 12 months. Just dont go crazy by uping the boost. I would just plan to boost 5psi on a stock motor until u have enough money to up the boost to be on the safe side if your motor blows.

 

I did the CC thing years ago.

I've paid cash for every mod on the Z....and you know what? I'm not paying interest on stuff I own outright

 

Man just start puttin money aside, I am the worst saver I know but once I do start saving its pretty easy to not touch the money cuz you start to see how fast it grows.

 

or eat instant noodles for a yr

 

Thats what I am doing . Ramen and cheap tuna... and water, sometimes I get lucky and have kool aid.

 

i would eat instant noodles for a year...but then i figure id have to finance my hospital bills due to lack of nutrition

 

GO FOR IT!!!!! Not only is my car financed, but my turbo, exhaust, clutch, fully re-built motor and more, are all on my VISA, no limit baby!!!

thats how i roll..


edit: if i blow the motor then BAM, ill charge the repairs!!!

 

haha

 

Well it depends on the rate.... get a new card w/ 0% for a year.
