Default What to do with $1800?

So I made $1800 profit from having a house party last night and wanted to get some stuff done to the R.

Was thinking Z10 kit, new rims and tires for the track, new header.

Suggestions?

Spend $500 on two HPDE events and put the rest towards your college education.

Alternately, spend $500 on two HPDE events and put the rest towards a FW, FD, and clutch. If you've already got that covered, think about a suspension or brake setup.

put it in the bank and use it as a partial down payment on a house (if you don't have one already) or put it toward the R in paying it off

Yup, save it for a down payment on a house 5-10 years down the road.

Good idea to use that money as a payment towards the principal of your R so, the monthly payments go a lil down.

You netted $1800 on a house party? Most I ever netted was 300 and some, maybe I should charge more for booze and not give out such a big cash prize for the wet (no) t-shirt contest...ASU is the greaest! $1800...insane that must have been a killer party, I am pretty sorry I missed it. Yo u have to let the Arizona Type-R guys know when something that big is going down.

As for the $1800 I would go some mild cam setup (i.e. Skunk2 stage 1, a chipped ECU, cam gears and dyno tuning). But that is what I just did to my car, so that is why I guess I would do it.

Good luck, and any money invested in the type r is money well spent

eventhough I am a finance major

...word. Because you never know when you'll need it later on down the road.

Uh, yeah...I need to have a party like that. $1800?! DAMN. Must've been one helluva party.

I say don't spend it yet. Just keep having parties like that. LOL. Then buy yourself a nice Supra TT and a Civic hybrid for winter driving.
