I am going to be getting a little bit of cash here in the next couple weeks, (christmas bonuses kick ***!!! :tounge: ) and I wanted some opinions on what I should do with it. My options are....



Do 1st faze of TII swap; Replace flywheel with 9.5#, TII tranny, TII drive line, 4.33 final drive, and TII rear end. Also my NA tranny is shot. I've been limping my car around for past 6 months.



Pay off my car I only have 7 months left till its paid off. And keep limping my car around. This would give me an extra $220 a month.



Go and find a TII for around $2000 - $3000 and pick that up, and start building it.



Or pay back my mom the $ I have owed her for the past year and a half :frown:



Thank you

Being in debt does suck! But I was leaning to replacing the tranny, driveline, ect. Then going to my finance company and getting a loan for the amount I spent. Then using that $ to pay off my car or mom. But then agian if I were to pay off my car I'm sure the finance co will be begging to loan me more $, maybe enought to do the whole TII swap.



Vosko, didn't you use credit cards to pay for a lot of your ****? Thats one thing I don't want to do. I don't even have any credit cards because I know I'd put myself in the hole a few grand.

Yeah it definitely could use the extra power to make up for the extra 400 lbs mazda put on it. But then agian there is a lot of little **** that needs to be done to my car too. Like fixing the damn leak that always drips on me. :madgo:

I'd like to get my tranny fixed though, 2nd gear is fubr, 3rd is starting to go south. If I spent my $ on somthing else and my tranny does go out I'll be fucked. I have got bills that I have to pay every month like rent :frown: and other BS. So I'd like to replace it while I have a little extra $. Plus I'd like to be able to race cars off the line again, and put all of the hondas in their place... behind me.
