Tax Season!

Is anyone buying anything for their FC? (Or perhaps you already have?...)

Post what you've bought or plan to buy with that tax return money! Times may be tough, but I know some of us are splurging.

I got my tax return back in February. My wife and I don't play around. I used some of my share for some OEM parts and rear suspension stuff. Which dried up the "paint my RX-7 fund" yet again.

unfortunately i spent my tax money on my subaru this year.. but getting some of those daily driver expenses out of the way frees up a bit more time and money down the road for my toy car

It funded my race project.

All new housings and plates
All new seals
New Koni Race Coil Overs

I got more. But that pretty much took the tax refund this year.

I paid my rent ahead for 8 months, bought used pbm coil overs, and threw new tires on the seven and the daily... I'm sitting on the rest of it as kind of an emergency fund.

Its hard to not spend it but last year the seven and the daily blew up within a week of each other, so that soaked up most of last years tax return.

I bought really exspensive steak and alcohol. Damn you girlfriend. I don't know where I spent the rest, but it wasn't on my 7.

Tax money? All going towards student loans...

Normal cash flow feeds the FC.

There are quite a few things I'd like to buy... But nothing that I absolutely need to buy. I'm just going to save my money. :-/

I need a new catback bad since my old HKS was wiped out when the cheap cat exploded. I was hoping to go RB, but the refund won't quite cover it. At least it will be a good down payment.

^ Are you referring to the REV TII exhaust? If so... It's GREAT.

I always talk about that exhaust. I can't help it.

I only have an N/A, so I'll just be getting the basic catback, but I hope it will sound just as good.
