Hey folks, been awhile
Howdy,
It's been over 110 days since I last logged in. I've been on deployment with the 24th MEU. I am currently in Kuwait. I just wanted to check in with ya'll and see what's up. Also:
My wife told me I'm allowed to mod the car (she controls the money since I made a mess of it last time) but I have to plan it all out. So:
I know I'm getting Eibach Prokit springs, and Steeda C/C plates. I'm looking at Tokico 5-Way adjustible shocks/struts. and I'm doing my sound (Alpine 6x8 Type-R with a Alpine 12" vented sub Type-R).
What my ultimate plan is in about 2 years to get the car prepped to throw the Procharger in her.
So I need to work slowly on everything else. I'll take suggestions from everyone. I'm on a military budget.
I am NOT doing exterior mods. I like the look of the mach1 with the steeda wing.
If you could be so kind to help me out, and/or if you want to email me personally. my shipboard email is joslyngp@iwo-jima.usmc.mil . If you email me there, also CC it to dlazrael@gmail.com
Thanks guys.

Oh yea and one more thing...... How do you afford a MACH 1 at an E4 pay rate? I'm E4 with 4 years and it burns me every month making that car note.

E4 over 4, and i used my reup bonus to buy a 2000gt which i ended up selling/trading in to offset some of the cost of the mach. I pay $484/mo :-(. Still hurts, but not too bad.
