I have been debating a new thread asking people how much they sunk themselves into debt modding...it just seems odd to a rather conservative person, how some of these cars get produced....I make quite a fair living, but on a single income obv you do what you can w/in limits..granted I do have 2 mortgages at present...but phugginay, some of these people w/ 20k+ in to setups just amazes me, esp when you see em parked in front of their ish houses.

It's just easier not to think about it and besides to most people it's a hobby, some people give up other things to enjoy the life of customization and individuality

They live with the 'rents, live off credit, have nothing else, etc.

I'm amazed with that topic, too.

well I decided not to get new shocks for the Z this year for proving grounds. I'll just run what I have now and get coilovers next year and see what faster times I can get the next year. BTW I'm going with what I originally wanted... Tanabe Sustec Pro 7 with TEAS.
