Buying mods when your car dont work

[Phaze2ECU]

Well, im still missing and most likely fixing/bringing it to the shop this week, but i found a evo3 16g w/ manifold for 600 shipped, both unused. I was planning on upgrading turbos, but i still have an on and off bal shaft knock and the missing ot deal with, but i figure, hey if i get a good deal, jump on it? Is that good enough for me to grab, or just wait and stop buying mods before i fix my car?

If your car doesn't run properly sans mods, it won't run properly with mods.

My cars fuel/spark problem plus the bal shaft knock are going to be dealt with. Hopefully with as little money as possible. I was trying (before everything went to sh*t) to run some high 12s/low 13s. Have a turbo back sitting on the side and an mbc. Figured if a good enough deal came it hop on it. I think for 550 shipped for both id do it. worst case scenerio i sell it for as much. Right?

Well, I guess buying the parts is one thing, and installing them is another.
If you can swing it, go for it.

yeah, just buy it and wait till everything is fixed before putting it on.....its that easy.

the only time I buy anything for my car is when it's not running.

I think that if you got the extra cash avliable to you then go ahead and get mods while it's down if you can caculate how much you think it's gonna cost to get it fixed.

Goodluck.

Guy is actually close enough for a meet up, im sure hell take $20 off the price of 550. So for $530 pickup, should i grab it?

If you plan to keep your car for awhile and you already set a goal in your mind of what you will accomplish with the car, then GET THEM.

I have a closet full of Corvette and Eclipse mods that I do not have time to install yet but I got them coz of a great deal I cant pass. I plan to keep these cars so the mods that fall in my plan I try to get when i see a good price.
