It's a good thing to have something to work for. Make sure you put the full 15% of each check in your 401K. The more money now the more money later - compunding interest. Find a 401K calculator online and play around to see why you should sock it all away now. Retire early with a Ferrari not a Mazda.

One last thing, correct your damn Sig!!! "i many not know much now"? I many???

I made a parts list too when I first got my 8 3 years ago. Now, 3 years on, I've probably only crossed off a third! Haha! Good luck to you my friend and welcome to the club.

I have a buddy like that, he just bought a MR2, and has shown me the parts list too. then i asked him why he wants to spend that much money on a car.....he said" i just love it"....its actually understandable...thinking if one day i became really rich, i would spend a lot money on a lot nice japenese tuners like 8s, skyline, supra......cuz i am still young too..haha
but by the way, did you check the shipping cost from tireesay? it costs way more than tirerack........but the tires are cheaper.
GOOD LUCK

401Ks aren't for houses and personal loans, THEY ARE FOR RETIREMENT!!!

Cause he's 18, has lousy spelling and grammar and is looking to spend a shirt load on a rotary powered car. Young and dumb (no offense chet). It's called looking out for someone.

Ha. Thats one of the most ignornant statements ever. How many other people have spent all kinds of money on their "rotary powered" car, yet do you run around telling them what to do with their money? Do you troll on the honda forums too to tell them how to spend their 401Ks? Get a hobby.

Cause? The definition of cause is:
a person or thing that acts, happens, or exists in such a way that some specific thing happens as a result; the producer of an effect.

Oh, you meant "because." I thought you were talking about lousy spelling and grammar.

hahaha... your reasoning sounds like my mentality... Except for I didn't plan chit and a credit card is my 2nd addiction...

wow, if I only had that much money to **** away. Get the S/C and save yourself 10,000 on trying to lighten your car up and stuff. Your logic wait, you don't have any logic.

Unless youa re planning to go forced induction there is absolutely no need for a new clutch. The stock clutch will easily handle NA mods. You don't need a new clutch until you are closer to the 250-270 whp range.

I have the JIC Titanium unit, & it weighs a ton less than the stock unit. Get the RP Supercat & JIC cat back unit & you just saved about 30-35 lbs. off the car.

No need to explain yourself, honestly. But I would instead, save up money & go FI.. You'll be a lot more happier in the end .

there are kits that are like that, an example would be the mazport turbs, but those kits would cost you alot, you can buy like SFR, Esmeril, or others and buy their entire upgrade packs which would have everything you need also,

or just buy a pettit supercharger and call it a day

thats what i will most likely do, it seems like they have good support if i need help, and it looks like there is a lot of people on here with them. and they have decent prices. a little while ago someone said to me dont get it because it has a low torque curve and low hp, but i dont need all that much. The MOST i would want is 300 rwhp, and like i said before, i need it to be daily driven and good through the winters of wisconsin.
