todaym i drive down to ATL to go to the main NOPI store to buy a FAL rear window for my 95 Integra.... it's only a 3 hr drive, and the 30 bux i spent in gas is a lot better than paying like 100 bux shipping. so anyways...... i get down there, and they don't have the window, so I fgure, while I'm there, i would take a look at the new GReddy turbo kit for the 97-01 Prelude. so, after i get a good look at it, i realie tat i can't be without it, so i say, "I'll take it." well, then i ask, "do you guys have the FMIC kit for it too?" they check, GReddy hasn't released it yet, so i buy an FMIC type 24 for an Eclipse.... biggest one they make, and it's only got like 2 pipes, so it save me a lil dough. oh, yeah, fuel manangement for my Teg... how about a V-AFC too, oh yeah, i guess i need a BOV, oh yeah, i need a new shift ****, etc etc.......

here's what i end up getting
GReddy turbo kit for my 97 Prelude
FMIC that will need slight modifications
Type S BOV
Apexi V-AFC (almost bought 2 )
Skunk 2 ITR style 400 gram shift ****
Aerogear C/F hood for my 95 Teg
UR underdrive puley for my buddies B18C5 EG (he's payin me back)

all i need now is for my damn Prelude engine to get back from VS Racing so i can put it in.

the really really bad thing aobut all this is...... i used my dad's credit card, he is going to **** a brick for real.... i am about to get a 2nd job deliverying pizzas at nigh or some ****..... only LS/VTEC in town, and i'll be delivering pizzas in it "hey buddy, if there's an extra 10 bux in it, i'll have it there in half the time "

i think u mean, impulsive buyer..

Veritas-Aequitas

Yeah dude you fucked


Oh yeah how much did all of that run you at NOPI...

flip1199

How much did u pay for the turbo kit,intercooler,bov,v-afc???

Reid

You better charge some plane tickets and get the hell out of there before your dad gets the bill.

Thats why us youngin's shouldn't have plastic...

Its weird, I mean I was sitting around one night last week and my wallet was next to me and next thing I know I'm the proud owner of a new motor, clutch, rims, and tires.....

Help me... I'm pathetic.

CzanSOHC

wow...how much did all this run ya? yo still need some more fuels to run that safley.

simple4012

YES!

thats the coolest thing i have ever heard

TurbothisLS

awesome.
i go into shops blindfolded and i just ask for what i need.

RATEDR

Damn, you should have called up some of us ATL boys...I know MANY people at that NOPI (my work has an account there), I could have maybe got you a discount.

But yeah, they NEVER have anything in stock..im suprised they had all what you got. How in the hell you get all that stuff back home? Especially the hood?

Boostless97Lude

they hooked me up pretty good..... all that stuff should have totaled around $6200 +tax, but i ended up making out at about $4800 +tax. plus the guy gave me his business card, and the number straight to the front desk, no more "thanks you for calling NOPI custom and performance, only XX days to the world famous NOPI nationals......" he told me all i had to do was call him and he'd still hook me up, plus he told me to fax them a copy of my dad's busness liscense and tax ID number and he could probably even do better than that. i don't think my dad will really be pissed off, b/c he knows i'm good for it, it'll just take a few months to pay him back

Dad's truck

powe12linelsvtec

hehe damn, he hasnt reply'd in a while, hope the surgery to get his dads foot out his *** went well LOL. i guess i cant talk ****, i did that **** when i was 17, just went to buy a front bumper with dads CC, came home with a whole kit and a direct port. had to eat taco hell for 2 and a half months to pay that **** off. oh well, tell us what its like when your done installing, good luck budday.

gsr squirrel

kicks *** as a poor man's lunch and dinner! i'm still doing that trying to pay off for stuff i purchased.

SIK IN DA HED

deeeyam dude.. you better do a "2G buy-in" at your next street race.

your dad is gonna be pissed... unless youre a spoiled ***.

93LSivic

Your dads gonna beat your *** black and blue!!

If not, then damn...must be nice to be a spoiled brat. Wish I was.

b18sol

I'm on a Ramen Noodle diet to pay off my GSR swap. I'm thinking of just buying like 70 cases of the stuff and getting boost.

Boostless97Lude

not spoiled, i just can't save money, but if i owe it, i pay it

Boostless97Lude

i would, but i am worried about the daily driveability in that case...... I live in the Mtns. of NC and my girlfriend goes to school about 200 mile east and about 1500-2000 ft lower in elevation, so they normally 2 hr trip would take about 6 hrs b/c i would have to pull over 10 times to burn a new chip b/c of the change in atmospheric pressure. ..... so i figure if i get a chipped P28 with a nice piggyback system (V-AFC) along with that AVR-R i've got, i shouldn't run in to as many problems...... "oh damn, it's leaning out, let me just press this little button here an up the fuel flow a little." instead of "son of a b*tch, it's leaning out, now i've got to stop, dig my laptop out, and burn a new f*cking ship!!!


you see my problem

yea im the same way , , , , , **** except with my own cards.
damnit .
i got a fast car though. yea that makes me feel better

CovertFI

how can people say that is spoiled. there is a fine line between people that are spoiled and thankful for what they have. my parents were some what like that. when i was in the 8th grade i had a full entertainment system, big stereo decent tv. i still have everthing that has not broken due to old age. i took good care of everthing my parents have ever bought for me and apprecieat every bit of it. was i spoiled? hell no!!

apexii

credit cards suck, I don't own a single one. But I do own 3 cars and a nice house. What's that go to say about cc's?

I'm wondering what you do at 19 to pay back such a massive, impulsive debt?

ps, dads with deep pockets r0ck.

FredoSP

Tell your dad to buy me something too!! For me!!

Boostless97Lude

i haven't figured that much out yet

j/k, i work full time for my dad, and go to school at night, and early in the morning...... i do however WORK for my money, unlike what most people think when you work for your parents. i am also in the process of getting a part time job on weekends too. oh well, **** happens, but i'll pay for it..... eventually

DARK SIDE HERE I COME!!!!!!

PM-Performance

yup im working about 50 +hrs a week at my full time job. plus 20hrs a week at school at night and then trying to start my own business on the side
it sucks but it pays off .. . . i guess.

Boostless97Lude

that's actually amazingly like me..... i have been working my *** off trying to get some stuff started doing engine swaps and what not... the only problem is, we only seem to work on our own cars
