Your only going to be this young once. Later on in life you will have a lot of other expenses. I.E. ........kids, wife, house, etc. Do it know while you can.

Mines getting boosted with 105k on the odometer

 

the only thing that is keeping me from doing it is that i think it would be really great if i could buy my own place right out of college. and when one considers where the mortgage industry is headed with all these sub-prime lenders, its going to be harder and harder to get a loan.

 

get a house first
otherwise you're just setting yourself back like 5 years by the time you pay off the FI and are able to get a down payment for a house with a decent rate

 

pay off the FI? dude, if i do it, i would definitely pay cash for it and not go into debt over it. come to think of it, going into any debt to boost the Z is a pretty ill concieved idea. just my $.02

 

not if u pay for FI with cash

 

What setup are you going with?

 

im thinking the APS kit. its the most complete kit i think, and it seems like you can run that at 8psi on a stock block with out problems. its a pricey kit though, it looks like the grand total, with install would come out at about $10
k

 

Go with turbonetics n a UTEC. You'll like it and its alot cheaper

 

f1james don't go with a kit someone recommends. What ever somone has on their car is what they are going to recommend. If I were you I would ride in a couple of cars with different set ups and see which one you like then decide which one you want.

 

yeah, no offense to anyone, especially the turbonetics guys, but i knew it was a matter of time before people started coming on here and pushing a kit.

 

no regrets. 23yr old APS TT roadster. i had the car for a year while i saved up my pennys

 

No regrets being FI.. Sometimes I regret going SC..

 

thats why i want to save just a little bit more and go with what i really want.

 

I dont regret it at all. The satisfaction driving my car brings me and the adrenaline it provides is far batter than anything else Ive done....

 

I regret it alot. I coulda bought a pretty nice car by now....rather than going F1 on something that wasnt meant to.

btw...how much would a stock engine cost if i wanted to go back to stock or if it blows?

 

yes Only cause i cant stop wanting more and more and more POWER heheheheh

 

Regret? Hell no. Right now, the best thing I've every done. Might be the best thing I will ever do. Can't wait to do my next ride.

 

well if you didnt have a Z yet you could have always bought one like i did that was already FI and let the person who spent all the money doing it take the hit and you just get to enjoy it.

 

I am with ya OP and other young bloods. I bought my condo at the age of 22. I am looking at starting up my business and getting on my feet before making the jump in the world of FI. I figure I would buy all the support mods, exhaust, utec, etc and then the big snail/snails.

Hell if I was still at my parents house I would have been FI a long time ago. Just would have had nothing to show of myself besides my car.

Working, going to school, owning a house and starting a business is enough right now All the local guys bust on me but One day I will be FI


And when I go FI I will prob. regret not going sooner.

Unless you're a millionaire, I think having a tad bit of regret after going FI is natural. But like everybody else has said, you only live once.
