Hey everybody,
I have been getting the mod bug again as it is winter, however I am lookin to go the turbo route. The only thing that is holding me back is the price of doin it, 5g's and then about $500 for tuning!!!
I am just kind of struggling doing it as I have a bunch of other hobbies that I love doing. The only thing that bugs me is seeing people with a very expensive or modified car or bike and everybody just drools over it. Then there is me the average joe and I don't have the elite of anything, just lots to play with...lol :confused:
I mean, I've got my 04 Mustang GT that is stock, then I have the 05 Busa LE, with mods in sig. I also have an 07 Skidoo MXZ Renegade 800H.O., plus an 08 Arctic Cat M8, with minor mods to both. I go on trips during the summer with the bike, and hit the mountains with the M8 and ride around here where I live with my Renegade, so all this costs freakin cash and I aint loaded...lol
I'm just kind of wondering if anybody else is in the same dillemma as me. :head meets wall:
I have been contemplating recently getting rid of 2 or maybe 3 of my toys to just focus on one and go crazy with it. For example if I got rid of the bike and 1 sled then I would get a used 04-07 Viper..... oooorrr I could get rid of the car (that I love to drive by the way) and mod the piss out of my bike..... UGH, maybe I won't do anything....lol
Anybody else have this prob?? :yellow_fish:

Well, I ride a 91 FZR 600 (came here to get a Busa rear shock), and drive a 95 MX3 and still owe close to 30k for my student loans, so things could be worse. My other hobby is restoring straight razors, but that one's fairly cheap. Even when you factor in the cost of a custom-made 9/8" piece that I bought this fall...

I'm even making some cash on the side. For starters, I don't have to waste money on expensive cartridges, and then I also sell off the pieces that either don't make it to or get bumped off my top 7-10 rotation. That's financed a few much needed items for my Fizzer :D

Since leaving The Patriots I spend any free time down at my local 1% club.
They have excepted me there , give me heaps about riding a jap bike but in saying that like its a Hayabusa at least.
They look after me, and I have been asked to Nom up there but due to home life cant at this point in time .
I enjoy living on the Darkside :ChopperEmo2:

well being you arent in your 60's then id say you havent truely missed out lol
they were founded in the 50s
i can teach anyone to run one if they are willing to learn
i taught my brother on the job in under a month
then he schooled the owners on what could be done on it because they didnt know how to program it but had fired me lol
the ones i have at home are very easy to learn what to do and how to do it
it asks the things you want it to do
its centurion conversational by milltronics
oldschool but easy lol
