Default Just what I need, another addiction

Having been checking out this site the last couple of days, I can see that this will be a costly addiction - mods to my 95 SC 400. So much to do, so little $$ with which to do it. Lots of good information and I appreciate the knowledge that you are providing. My intention is to take it slow and do one mod at a time, but I can tell you that the temptation is to want to do it all. The trick as I see it is to maintain the integrity of the SC 400 while enhancing performance. Well, that's my 2 cents. Keep that good information flowing!

Welcome man,

I feel your pain. I have only had mine for a couple of weeks and unfortunately no money to put into it. There are sooo many options - but having just cleared all of my credit cards, I'm not falling back into that trap!!

Good Luck

Smart move not charging up the cards. Yeah, I've been on here for a year or so and still haven't done anything except make that killer sig.

CL is an awesome site, though. Tons of USEFUL info. Almost had some MOD money but spent it on an engagement ring. Where are my priorities?!

Costly addiction.... You got that right!!!

I had my 97 SC3 for four years now but joined CL for little bit over year, before joining the CL only mod I had was 17" rims and since then I've spent over $10k and will probably spend another $15K to reach my goal BUT NO REGRETS.

Welcome aboard... Just control your urge and you'll be fine...

Whatever you do, don't quit your day job otherwise you'll just end up a window shopper like me! Pretty soon you'll find yourself spending countless hours writing webpages about all the mods you'd like to do but can't afford
