it depends. for example, i was going to go sr20 in the summer of 2010. but i came up on a great deal and ended up doing it a year earlier.

some things you can't pass up. but a budget is a good way to go. even though i have not made one yet. i just throw all my cash into my car. lol.

i plan, but i dont budget. and im not planning on budgeting.

im really dumb.

I build the 'car' outside of the Daily driver shell. Right now my car is automatic, sporting coilovers and Nismo LMGT4s. Its a fanboy ride at the moment.

Next year, in about a weeks time, I'll have 400-500hp KA-T finished with everything completed. I will be installing the engine, AEM ecu, Tranny, aluminum driveshaft, rear 1.5, and solid rear subframe. Then I go to the dyno.

Edit: I buy things that I see are good deals. ...however, I pay full price for internals. Never buy used pistons, rods, crank etc. Its asking for issues.
