otherwise I would use it to develop a system which would force noobs to read atleast 100 threads before ever posting, while still encouraging new members to come. it would also filter out people who are just "new to the board" from people who are "No0bZ"

for looks ... s15 front end conversion

for speed ... use the money to track the car until the engine blows and buy another one. u'll come out a much better driver after two engines and the hours all the leftover money can buy you.

I would use 10g's for heavy bribing untill i knew i wasn't going to jail. I would spend the rest on the rest of it to finish paying for my kA-T. TO4B, maybe actually start off with some pretty APexi and nice injectors.
if not just just it converted to 1's and fill up a breif case and carry it everywhere

15k establish a trust fund for poor boy S13/s14 owners so they can actually play with the big boys.

So they can stop deluging Jspec.com and phase2 with insults: that this part X costs Y amount too much, and u should sell it to me for this low ball amount Z.

Realistically i'd put it into my retirement 401k 15000 is too much to be wasting on modfying my car. I'd use maybe 5000 of it at most to change my stock S14 turbo to a HKS GT-RS turbine kit, upgrade to 740cc injectors, get a HKS EVC 4 boost controller, Apex-i super suction kit for Z32 MAF and Z32 MAF, spend some time on XS's dyno, and get my harness to be more compatible with power fc like flash on knock sensor readings too high when im using ricky's power FC, take off my head and change valve spring and go for a set of mild cams from Tomei or HKS 256/256 or 256/264.

If i had to spend the rest of the 10k i'd get my self 4 sets of wheels/ tire.

Man you people are so tight with your money. I want to see what kind of splurging you people would do with $15k.

Dousan_PG

08-22-2003, 12:44 PM

splurging is for really rich people
i like to have a safe and secure future..investments..houses, savings etc..

because one day you'll wake up and maybe say "why the hell did i jsut blow 15K on my car?" because you know for a fact you will never make it back

but its much nicer being able to park in a house which is OWNED BY YOU and watch your big screen tv every night :)

i know how much fresno costs, i used to live there (for 4 years) get a house. prices are rising (housing costs) and land has good value, as you know its growing SO MUCH in the past 6 years. my parents just sold their house there. strangely enough they MADE a money on it!! and they only lived there for 3 years. it wasnt chump change money too, a big nice lump of money.

its an investment you certainly wont regret, unless you buy the house in the ghetto...d'oh!

Dousan makes a good point land is by far the safest investment one can make in an era where the stock market is never a sure thing

Just remember nothing is ever secure when it comes to investment.

You can ALWAYS make it back, it's just the intense level you are willing to work. And whether or not you have the right vehicle to take you there.

I concour.

Real estate has always been what ppl believe to be one of the best investments. However, some research will reveal that may not be the case. Initial capital is high... Really high, even if one takes out a loan. Tax... nuff said. And other things that comes w/ owning a house. If one focus on the profit made and overlook all the other things that one dump into it already, then yes, the margin seems pretty good. Take a step back and think of all the money went into it before the result...

agreed!

no way, look at any modified car, you lose A LOT of oney. example sam's cars...he'll never sell them or profit for all the money he put into it. very few cases are big money maker..example FnF supra..but that's because it landed the role of a lifetime..different story.

on average, you will lose money on a modified car trying to sell it. also im talkign about spending 15k on the car...not a few thousand.

Take a step back and think of all the money went into it before the result...

true but i can only speak for my parents
their home near santa cruz has at least 5 times the amount the bought it for back in 78..5 times!! the house is extremely easy to sell as well

had house in visalia..lost money.but the market was very poor then
now in fresno made money to cover the fresno expenses AND the loss in visalia.

just depends on the TIMING of course :)

If you talking about $15k in that sense, then I agree. I probably misunderstood when you said you CAN'T make it back. I feel you CAN make the money back. One just can't keep the value of the car. However, if one can keep a car for long time and keep it in prestine condition. Even for mod'ed cars, I think one can make the money back. How long is a long time? That's the question... Do you wish to own a Mint condition T-model now?

Timing is the most important thing, but how does one know when is the RIGHT timing? But yea, definately one will gain on long term investments, that is a fact.

haha werd

anyways, btw, i got a 20mm spacer to borrow for tomorrow
see you then or "SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SOMEDAY!"

ny_jee

08-22-2003, 01:45 PM

NO!!! Why 20mm? Go w/ 25mm! Anyways, I might've found another customer for you for fender rolling. Saw Richard's car last nite, it's coming along... The purple is not what I thought it'd be, but I think the finish product will look pretty good [crossing my finger].

Back to topic, $15k will not be enough for me to do the car anyways. I'd definately invest it(provided that I have no debt...). My goal for the car will be much more than just $15k. Invest it somewhere that'll give me a good return and then I can talk cars.

yeah i saw his car 2 weeekends ago..sigh but still looks HOTNESS hahaha..love it

08-22-2003, 01:53 PM

I would take the $15k, use $800 dollars of that money and buy a clunker S13 equipped with a KA24E AUTOMATIQUE! Then, I would call out that biaaatch Ricky Foo, and smoke his *** in the canyons.

All I would have to do to that car, is put some new brake pads and uhm.. MAYBE change the tires.

THEN, once thats all said and done.. I will wave a fat $14,200 dollar wad of money in front of his confused and shocked face.

By doing this, he will know:
a) That I beat his *** with an eight-hundred dollar POS 240SX
b) That he spent too much money on his fiberglas ashtray of a car
c) That no matter what..

I WILL SMOKE RICKY FOO....!!!

08-22-2003, 02:00 PM

08-22-2003, 02:34 PM

Dude, YOU GUYS DONT KNOW RICKY FOO? He is one of the baddest in the canyons out here in Cali. He has a 1970 Skyline that he takes out in the canyons, it has gunmetal Watanabe wheels and flares, facking MEAN car.

I dunno who Ricky Chu is, all I know is I am gonna SMOKE RICKY FOO.

Watch out FOO, I wantchu! hahhahaha

Old_s13, when people get old and crazy we usually put them in a home. Do we have nursing home for retired/aging S13 owners? Maybe I should build one with $15k.

wow, wasn't the question what would you do to your car with 15k, not what would you do with 15k? it's a theoretical question, your not actually getting the money. Your supposed to say things like " I'd put a turbo the size of your moms *** in." or some other stupid thing. Not " I would invest in a 401k plan". Or saying it's too much money to put into a car. Theoretical dammit, theoretical.:hammer:

Even tho 15k is alot.... In the big picture of somthing that I want to do this is chump change...

If I had very large sum of cash... and was already paid up on all of lifes dets...

I would get a custome Tube fram for my car... All carbonfibe bodie... I would do my DB26DETT engine with AWD... jack the engine up to about 700hp.... and hope it passes emmisios.... (I will do this one day)

or with 15k

I would buy a new Motercycle and drop a turbo on it.. push around 300hp on a 250lb bike... (name it Death Cycle)

09-03-2003, 05:48 PM

I would Hire a circus bear and train it to dress in a clown suit, and slowly unpeel bannanas and jam them up his ***.

or better yet... I would Buy a Midget when their really young and chain him to a pole in my basement and teach to speak only mexican, and at a young early age teach him or her that they or the only midget in the world.:bash:
