As for the balance. Your buying everything all at once. Take your time. Me and mrs are going away so I'm currently paying holiday. I'm enjoying a standard car for the moment. We're also saving for our own place and I have to treat her occasionally so she don't get bored. Where getting married next year so that's more expense. So she's sorting my money for me and allows me to save a little bit a week for mods. I've decided with this hdi it's just external mods and a stage 1. Yes it's great fun having a high powered diesel. But at the same time you deliver takeaways, your car beaks your out of work till its fixed.
No i didnt wack a full fat stage 2 on at all the car had a 140bhp 210ftlbs remap on and the clutch couldnt handle that, it had a full fat map on it soon after fitting the intercooler but the map was only on for 15 mins then it was taken off as it kept cutting out.
I live in my own place with my fiancee i have bills to pay £450 a month rent, council tax, gas electric, tv licance, etc etc before i start with car and hoildays etc and 80% are paid by me at the min as my fiancee is out of work due to an opertion that was serposed to be 6 weeks recovary time and 7 months later she still isnt well.
From my past 2 experiances with cars i decied that if im gona mod its gona be small mods not anything big like the turbo or pump as after haveing quotes for the fitting the pump i carnt see the point of spending £175 fitting then the price of the pump for then something to happen when i finaly get it on veg, Turbo would probly throw a rod out, intercooler would probly leak, I allways think worst case as you can tell.
As it is my car now drives bang on with only one knocking noise from the back think its a beam mount and maybe a boost leak im happy at that gona leave it as it is maybe look in to some more mods in time to come but tbh getting fed up of the 306's might save the money im not spending on mods and look in to someing thats not french
