I know, i am just tryin to see if people used credit or loans or cash or what. Just to see what was used more.
Guess it really doesn't matter since i don't have to nickels to rub together

I'm just using the money that I'm saving up working this summer (almost 2 grand) plus the $1,400 that my dad owes me. After that I'll just do odd-jobs, get a parental-loan, and/or skip a few meals over the next month to get the rest. 
I'm gonna feel so empty once I see all that money gone... but so full when I'm walking over my friend's cars.

If you dont have the money to pay for a mod in cash dont get it. Piggy banks really do wonders, i saved up 300 dollars but that was back before i discovered this little thing called shopping. That money is all tucked away in my bank and stuck in there until im 18.
Um, use a credit card. If you don't have one...give the money to someone that does and have them order it for you. Protect yourself.
Money order, cash, check
...if by chance something happens...you're toast.

if you can just barely afford the turbo, then what happens with the engine blows up due to detonation? or a part fails causing problems?
either way, how many of you guys actually have turbos on your car that you have paid for?

I have a salary, and I still have to save up for a turbo. It's not like going to the store and buying a pack of gum you know.
And don't count out those people who are actually sponsored. I would say their are more people able to afford such expenses because they are sponsored, and not because they are rich.
Rich people = 600+ hp Supras, Vipers, Vettes, etc...
Kids on a budget + sponsored = turbo TC, Civic, Neon, Eclipse, etc..

I put the scionspeed stage 2 turbo ($3600), 18" Axis reverbs with falken azenis tires ($1850), tein s-techs ($160 +$60 install), clutchmasters fx400 ($360 + $250 install), lightweight flywheel ($330), + greddy spec B boost controller ($300)on my credit card. Yes thats about $7000 of debt from mods on my credit card, and in 3months I already lowered my debt to $1500 while paying about $1000 in regular bills monthly. Keep in mind Im 19 and work in a craphole hardware store and dont make too much money. So dont give me excuses that its too expensive, because if theres a will theres a way.
