ok I pay $220.00 a month on my celica for 2 years, and on a monthly average I bring in around $700 - 800 a month at my job after insurence and gas I am left with around $200 at the end of the month (given that I dont have a girl friend that month). I am stuck, one day I want to buy parts for my engine, another day I want to lower my car, and then another I want to get body parts. And today a supra passed by me and I thought hmmm if I save that money month after month then maybe I can afford a down payment on one. It's driving me crazy haha. So what do you guys think I should buy with the average $200 i'll have every month. Hmmm maybe I should buy a wrecked supra?

I'd say sound system >>

Out of everything I've done to my car I think that is the most worth the money.

id say save it, if something breaks and you spent all your money, your FOCKED. plus then if nothing breaks, you can buy something a little nicer later on.

Its hard to save everything, maybe do a 50/50 or a 60/40. The more money u make the more money u spend. I make around $1000-1200 a week before taxes and its tough to keep it .

I really hate when I save up to mod, and then I get hit with repairs
it never fails, but its better than modding first, then having no money fo repairs

if you have a goal, once you start saving its alot easier (im in college too >>) but about 2 months ago i was like "ok im gonna save for my bodykit/paint/rims" and after a month of saving know how much money i had? $50. so im like dam, not gonna save any money this way... so i just STOP spending money completely, unless its food/gas/bills, cuz those $5 here, $10 there... they all add up... now after a month, i already got close to $700 saved up >>, and now i dont want to spend money, cuz im that much closer >>

BODYKIT!!! if you dont want to save it....? Even without rims the car will look hot, not to mention a kit will change the entire look of the vehicle!!!
Good luck, and don't get discouraged!

kit + z3 fenders is $535 shipped... jon(itchy_b) is gonna help me put on my kit, he did his himself and it looks great. so thats that. rims i plan on spending about $400 for a cheap set, only like 15's or or 16's if i can get them... i was looking for GT-S rims (passed up a set for $250 a couple of months ago... kicking myself now...) then i plan on just getting one of those cheap $300 maaco jobs just so it doenst look completely ghetto... i only need it to last like 6 months till i save up a nice chunk of money to get a nice paint job on it... dont worry k2, ive done my research >>

And it was really REALLY hard for me to turn down a Alpine 6.5'' LCD in dash CD player...i'm still trying to figure out what i can sell.

I am an accountant so with years of studies and experience. So my advice for you is the following:

Spent everything on strip clubs and women.

When you get a raise or something and be able to save about $500 or more per month then:

Same advice as above. No just kidding (well not actually) >> . spent 50% on women and the rest save it for the car.
Start with a good sound system and interior and then slowly move to performance mods.
wheels, induction kit, exhaust, body kit.

My best advice to you: dont get carried away. Always be sure on what you want and that you understand what it is you buy
