When I get my new clutch put on, I could opt for a stage 1 clutch and a lightened flywheel... should I? I think it might cost $200 extra.

And then, I can get a camshaft, valve springs and chip to raise the rev limiter to 7,000rpm. It could be a real beast.

That would be cool.

Terbow?

[Eye of the Tiger]

That would be cool.

I agree

Terbow?

That would require a much larger initial investment. Doing a few not-so-pricey n/a modifications would be quite satisfactory for a daily-driven beater.

I NEED $2550

I'm surprised you haven't gotten the coolest upgrade for, like, your car, ever yet:

a flower vase.

Ok, screw it. I might get my stupid paycheck in about a year, but until then the clutch is going on the ol' Visa card.

The government has to make sure your car doesn't kill you.

If you're dead, you can't pay taxes to them.

And if not?

I need new front brakes and four tires.
Every place I go to finds something different. WTF.
Maybe I'll do the brakes myself if the weather warms up, otherwise it's $170, not too bad.
Both sets of tires are pretty much bald, so I knew that was coming. I'm not going to pay local prices, though. I found some used for $30 each, but they are pieces of shit.

[Eye of the Tiger]

OK. I just have to do it. I'm going to order tires online with the fucking credit card.
Should I spring for the Falken Azenis RT615 at $60 each, or the $46 all-season Falken Ziex? If I get the Azenis, of course I'll have to get a set of snow tires next winter - and I do have that extra set of rimz.

Azenis.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Azenis.

Don't make me do it. I will. I'm not kidding.

[Cookie Monster]

If you have the extra wheels, go for the Azenis. It's only $56 extra for all 4 anyways.
Plus you can get snow tires (if you need them) and those will last a long time too.

It still needs a clutch.

Shoulda got an auto stick.

Rock Auto has a clutch kit for $140.

Buy some 8" wide rims, flare the body, and get some Hoosier A6's.
