I need to know where to go to get certain mods. everything from intake and exhaust to lowering kits and suspension. hopefully it is near tucson and realativley cheap since i am only in college.

 

Most of them can be done by you in your driveway... can't beat that labor rate.....

 

THATS TRUE BUT I LIVE IN A CONDO.....COLLEGE REMEMBER? AND IM GONE FROM 8 IN THE MORNING TILL 730 AT NIGHT ALMOST EVERYDAY. IF IT WASNT FOR THAT REASON THEN IT WOULD WORK BUT UNTIL THEN I NEED SHOPS...AND MECHANICS.

 

How many credits are you taking? Do you have a job too? CAI is like a 30 minute job I imagine and exhaust couldn't be any more than 2 hours...

 

well thats why you always have the weekends!!!

 

17 units and 35 hours of work a week. i wish i had the space and time

 

putting new exhaust on takes minutes. More minutes depending on if you get the magna flow cat back system.

 

find a local performance shop instead of a dealer or normal mechanics place. they will be much easier on your wallet and know whats up.

but i say do it your self after school...but then again, i never sleep.

 

Do any of us? Hell I'm doing 14 units and 40hrs of work right now... life sux.

 

Is your caps lock button stuck? Pesky little bugger, I recommend a flat head screwdriver for removal.

 

Seriously, You can buy all the stuff you need online. It's so simple and quick to install it's not funny. Besides, half the fun of modding your car is doing it yourself. Plus the money you save in labor will allow you to buy more and better mods. If you don't have time to mod.... You won't have time to enjoy the mods anyhow so why bother???

 

you have a point. i have a couple weeks before comes into the dealer so we will see.

 

Besides, if you hit a snag, you can just ask us....

 

Yes, consider us your safety net. We are getting to know these things inside and out.

 

I haven't turned mine inside out yet....

 

School is over-rated! :D

 

Hang in there there's nothing wrong with getting a good education.

I did 2 years of Tech school and that was enough for me at the time, I worked during the last year part-time in a Machine Shop. I really liked Tech School, hated high school with a passion. The only things I was interested in HS was girls, music, cars and hunting. I still like woman, cars and music, gave up the hunting. Now I wish I had done more schooling. I'm not complaining I have a good job as a CNC Programmer/Machinist, been at the same place for 18 years.

 

Same here grateful, took a break after high school, got into a tech school,2 years, got a good job, kinda stopped goin to school hehe... I could go back on the companies coin now which is cool but I really don't think I have the stomach for it...

 

Same here I think they will pony up $3500/semester where I work and it doesn't even have to be in my field of work but I have 2 sons getting ready to enter college so who has the time.

 

ok well here is a good one. i live in tucson where the pot holes are not good and the sped bumps are tall. what is a good body kit for that? the car is getting lowered 1.6 in the front and 2 in the back. any suggestions?
