jevansio Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well I've spent nearly a year turning my stock Supra into the car I want, engine, suspension, brakes & subtle exterior. Spent a fair penny doing it too. It's not there yet, but it's not far off. As there's not much left to do I horrifyingly find myself looking to replace some parts that I've already replaced as part of the build!!! This can't be normal can it, packing in smoking was easier than the thought of not spending on the Supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 i do both - neither is good for me, the smokes are killing me internally, and the sups cutting my hands to bits thus dealing with the external side of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 If it is that addictive, I'm glad I haven't modified mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Im addicted, had the evo for 3months, spent 3.5k on mods then sold it for a grand less than i paid for it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob wild Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Its very very addictive!!! both from an exterior and performance point of view! My car was also bone stock and now its changed color, single, body kit etc etc (see my garage) and i'm well over the 20k mark Sometimes i wish i had never bought it as i would have so much money in the bank! But then i think well its only something i'm going to do once and what the hell its only money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just change 1 thing, you can quit at any time Yeah right. Definitely an addiction, years ago I added up how much I had spent on cars and modifying them. (This was before the Trial Supra may I add). It would've been cheaper to buy a Lamborghini at the start on a 10year loan and been done with it Thing is, how long would it have taken before the Lambo got a straight through exhaust etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thing is, how long would it have taken before the Lambo got a straight through exhaust etc etc etc. Good point, it'll probably be cheaper for me to keep the Supra & keep modifying it, than sell it, make a loss, buy some other car & modify that from scratch again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Every time I buy a new part or mod, I say that I am doing it for me because I will enjoy it. I know I wont get the money back, but at least I'm not disappointed come sale time. Even my missus has given up asking questions about the fedex boxes that turn up periodically Plus I've said it before, I don't smoke, drink much, go out etc. So why the hell not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 You can quit if you dont to much to begin with - well thats my reason. I spose when you basically rip the guts out of the car and turn it into something else its more your car than Toyotas and its a little different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
