yeah, like the title says... i did a search, didn't find anything in the 2g forum... so, what kind of work do you do...? and maybe if you could include about how much (% wise) of your income goes towards your fc...?

 

We don't have FDs.

 

doh! wrong forum... i thought i was in the 3rd gen forum... my bad

 

ok, edited the post so it is now for 2nd gens... sorry about that guys...

 

Student loans

 

Photographer = no money for TII, lol

 

I work full time EMS for a county, work part time as a firefighter...................all the money I don't need for bills go to my FC

 

recently out of a job.

Looking into professional stripping (its $250 a night!!)

 

Cable Splicer (I am qualified to splice copper cable and fiber optic cable) for Pacific Bell in good old San Diego, California

The % of dollars spent depends on what cool new things I can find that particular pay day, but I got paid today, so I am going to pickup a new AL flywheel, ACT clutch kit and I just ordered a CF radiator panel from Mazdaspeed7.

With the rest of my paycheck, I am going to go look at a TII locally that the guy is only asking $2300 for, so I better take cash. It only has 93K on it!

 

I just write code all day - if I hadn't just moved out - I could probably drop 2k a month on my baby - but oh well I need my own place.

Oh man I totally forgot to tell you guys about my niffty purchase. Ok well I spent damn near 2k for an engine, and for someone to drop it in. Turns out the motor was bad, and I figured I'd just go with a rebuilt. That morning I looked in the recycler online and happened to find a 87 turbo for 1500. I was thinking more then likely it's sold, but I called and the dude said it was still available. Long story short, I got a 87 rx-7 turbo with 25k on a rebuilt (needs starter, and master cyc.) for 1500. I had the biggest smile on my face as I was driving her home. I'm now in the process of buying the starter, and master cyc. and sending it off to get a tune up before I do any mods.

Ok my little story is over - hope it made someone happy - I know I sure as hell am.

 

rico, how do you manage to get student loans for a car? don't you have to show need for the student loan? and if you need the student loan, how much of it can you actually afford to use on your fc(s)

 

3D CADD NUCLEAR GLOVEBOX DESIGNER. As much as I can make selling parts.

 

heh, i work retail at the mall of america, but it's really just about all I can get considering I'm just close to 17 years old :/ I basically have been putting ALL of my money into my FC for the past year (since I have started driving/got my license) I have done a fair amount to it, and I think I am almost ready to take a break from modding it, just after I do a few easy mods I can do myself, such as porting it.

 

oracle/sql dba

too much on my fc.

 

I sit in a chair, write code, and earn less than the kids at McDonalds.

 

I'm a PC technician and I just graduated with a degree in Computer Science from the University of Washington. Two days after I graduated I got a job programming user interfaces for banks in Texas, North Dakota, Mass., and a couple places in Europe. I start that job on Monday. So I guess when I'm home that will be the only chance I'll have to play with my FC.

 

I joined the military part time (Air National Guard) and my one weekend a month pay covers the insurance... when I am in school with a full semester I get some good $$$ from uncle sam for school, and my parents are helping me pay for school, so I spend it on my car :-D

 

I may be looking into that career change also. :P

 

Summer student doing nuclear design engineering and writing qualification reports for demostrated performance of devices related to nuclear safety systems.

Once summer is over i'll be flat flat broke with more debt for books and food and beer in university.

 

UHm, I was laid off last year this time, so I just decided to work on rx7s for a living, since I have played with them for 4 years peior to this, and here I am. I was worried there wouldnt be enough demand to keep me up, but then I started selling engines and Im doing ok now.

 

A/C parts distributor/salesperson. I sit in an office all day at the computer (obviously). I get paid to post on RX7club.com!

Percentage on the FC? Seems I spend about 60% on life (food, gas, GF, video games ) and *try* to invest about 10%. The last 30% goes to the credit card I put all my FC parts on.

 

I sell cell phones and make a decent amount per week. The thing is when you live at home you have (well maybe me) nothing else to pay. So for example 90% of check last month went into my car cuz i had nothing else to pay.

 

Kevin,
I'm glad to hear the rebuilding business is good. I was thinking a bit about getting my business degree and starting a RX-7 tuner shop/parts distributor in Richmond. Thinking, mind you. I have a year or two to go.

 

Ethical Accountant/Auditor = Poor

 

i work in a pharmacy, 100% income => rx7
