we are the only people who the seller is considering so she said she will hold it for us untill i get my liscence in january. i have noticed that mods are getting sort of expensive, should i start saving now or do i ahve enough time to do that later.by the waywhat are good racing wheels that dont kill the wallet. I cant seem to find anything .

definitly start saving.....for more than one reason..........

could have a mechanincal problem that needs fixing that the seller didnt fully explain. My car needed a full break job....(master cylindar, powerbooster, front calipers, front pads, back cylindars, back shoes) along with a new clutch about 3 months after i got it. Also, you start savin now...that gives you a good 6 months to save up for a swap or somthing...or turbo......definitily the way to go.

QFT. My EG6 was $1900 but it ended up needing a clutch kit, cluster, rear hatch shock hardware, window crank handle, & window track repaired. So I ended up needing to spend about $400 right after buying it to fix stuff.

start saving. my brother is doing the same thing, he's buyingan eg or ek hatchprobably a year or so in advance. that way, we can fix it up and start getting pieces here and there before he starts driving. (and so i can drive it first, lol)
