7, pay that shit off. You are getting pwn3d by compounding interest. In the long run you will have more money left over after that shit is paid off.

so i can do it in 12-13 months if i do double payments

this could seriously work and when i get more hours when i move shops ill still have and extra 1000 bucks kickin around at the end of the month. thats after gas and insurance:clap:

I WIN:clap:

oh and if i wait and finish my car, i have 28 months left to pay off, im cutting that shit in half if i start doubling:thumbsup:

double payments, sell the honda, and get something with a turbo ;)

Fuck the payments, just go and buy yourself something nice :).

Do a balance of both! Are you under a balloon payment system for your loan?

ecstasy_civic
02-17-2003, 11:41 PM
nope once its done its done. the max left is 28 months. so just about 2.5 yrs. i can cut that down to 1 yr if i keep working hard, and try not to spend money on my car.
its just so tempting:banghead:
well with moving to a new shop, ill be making more and able to make double payments and still do stuff to my car.
so for sure this spring i will

now everyone remember so if i dont, i have to work harder.
"i will have my vehicle lowered w/ tanabe springs, tokico struts and have some sort of aluminum rims"

i never used to think so but im thinkin its a good idea

plus it will help my credit, and chances of getting a mortgage down the road.

Honestly paying things off is the best way to go. I'm a cheap guy and paying extra just to have it now and later makes me angry, they get your hard earned cash for doing nothing. I'd rather pay it off now while you hav the chance rather than letting it go down to the wire.

Stop being such a Smartiepants:rofl::rofl: I say go build yourself a custom turbo kit and fukc the payments:thumbsup: Like vsmSIR said, your life is going to be all about payments... Might as well blow as much $$ as you can before you commit to bigger things like a mortgage;)

Just sell the Rx7, that will give you most a good chunk of the money for Rims. Then save up the rest, and continue doubling payments, etc.

Much like AWD, I do believe he knows what he is talking about. The insurance, gas and high maintenance of an rx-7 would kill anyone financially running another vehicle. Still wanna sell it to my friend?

Wouldn't you have to move back the firewall like 2-3 inches for it to fit? Scott's plan for an engine would make it an ITR killer :thumbsup:

You should sell that RX7... Doing no good just sitting there... that'll get you $2000 for rims if that cars in good condition....
Whats the point of having a good stereo when your car looks like shit??? So ppl look and say... Thats guys an idiot??
Whats the point of getting suspension done on stick rims that are 15" or less??? Theres absolutly no point in even trying new Head lights or Rear lights until the car itself looks decent enough to give it that new agressive look.... Anyone that puts bodykits on their cars using stock wheels is a complete idiot... You'll looks like you can afford a better looking car so you bought that to make it look as best you can... One guy said your whole lifes one payment after the other... Hes basically right... Summers just around the corner.... And if I were you I'd be wanting to live it up... Invest in some nice 17"+ rims and if you have any money left over get H&R Springs and lower your car to get rid of that nasty wheel well gap.... Make sure you have enough to continue making payments on your car.... Otherwise everything else is pointless.... Rather double your payment if you dont get rims first...

my brother in law...(well in Aug he will be..lol) is still interested in the Rx7. He wasn't sure if you were still selling. He'd like to look at it sometime if possible. I'll talk to him again tomorrow.

Go watch the lessons of the day videos guys...fun car!!!
