    Has anybody bought parts for a car they don't own YET? I'm debating that right now because there's a deal on www.brothersperformance.com.

    click "used mustang take-off parts"

    There is only two things that make power, and that is Fuel and Air, nothing else matters. Go back to the 60's and read and you will understand where power comes from, then add your mods to everything else,,,,,,

    Bro, I didn't mean to make you feel "worthless" Try to look at it like this.
    You paid "X" for the car. and put $800 into it to fix some problems. So instead, think of it like you paid "X + $800" for the car you have NOW!!! which sound pretty decent from reading all your threads. Keep your chin up buddy.

    hp ain't cheap for 1 and id say 800 bucks ain't too bad either considering the car prob wasn't that expensive. If you payed 15-20 k for a car and had to start fixing things then thats a different story.

    Hey Jarad, I had to fix alot of "problems" with mine. My A/C did not work, engine light was on clutch cable was stretched. I did so much to mine you would not belive. That was before making it faster.

    yea i know hp aint cheap.....its just a pain sometimes.

    its just putting money into my car right now isnt easy. trying to save for our wedding next month, beach trip in july, house, etc.

    i do have a good bit of money due to me in november for coaching soccer (2k) then i get an $800 stipen for coaching 3 weeks here in june. plans are to put all that into body work. getting 2 new quarter panels (installed) then new hatch, wing,hood, and prep for paint.

    i just always feel poor and slow....especially when your 2 closest friends have multiple fast cars, and all kinds of "daddy's money" just pisses me off sometimes and i always feel inferior

    i know i have issues....

    Daddys money is hard to come by - there isnt any for me to have. Me on the other hand.....I put tires on my dads truck, I baught an air compressor when his went. I help my parents with cash as much as possible. Its hard trying to do everthing at one time. I am trying to fix my house, and a few cars. I have to put a ring on Danielles finger soon. I need to take her to the beach as well. Money issues can suck. I do well for my self however, I still have a lot "college debt" out there.

    JARED,,,, someon'es "worth" isn't measured in $$$$$$$. And like 5KEaton said, doing it yourself, EARNING IT, makes it worth 100 times as much as it cost! That's how I have what I have
