LOL! it's not i can't afford it. I can, i have a steady income. it's just a waste of money and pointless crap is what i'm upset about. i haven't been able to spend my money modding it. but more keeping it running. it was my first second hand car i bought and made a mistake buying it with no roadworthy. and not getting it checked thoroughly. now i know what to look out for when buying a second hand car because anything that could go wrong. did go wrong with this car. it's unfortunate but in a way, i know now everything has almost been replaced on my car and it will be running smooth. i've got heavy duty axles with different cv joints on there to handle any angle and a pounding as the previous shafts snapped after a couple of months. when i bought the car i had to get the brakes overhauled, spark plugs changes, air filter changed, put back to oem suspension as it had king springs in there, wheel alignment from honda because nowhere else would do a proper wheel alignemnt. car had major steering issues. towing costs from when the cv broke down on me twice. one on each side. clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. i was just saving to have my clutch and flywheel changed is it was on its way. the previous owner had it serviced by ultratune and they stuffed the threading on the gearbox oil fill plug. so that also needs to be somehow fixed. there's alot more bits an bobs which ended up costing me heaps. insurance alone has cost me heaps aswell. i really cant be bothered writing a detailed amount and things repaired post but alot of things have been changed. i guess it is about me being picky and choosing the best options which are abit more costly as i do want a really neat and smooth ride that doesnt deel soo loose and like its going to fall apart on me. i've been in other s2s and i do feel like mines alot smoother. i dont want to get rid of it. i can afford to keep it, but keeping in mind i prob wont be able to save for a house going like this i love my car to bits. it's just finding reliable mechanics and people to deal with which is the tough part.
