What goodies are you getting with your TAX Returns?!
 

Instead of doing the most responsible thing, I've decided to splurge and buy some goodies for my build. I can't decide what to get just yet but I decided to see what everyone else was purchasing with their tax returns as well!! Right now i'm torn between Coilovers and Some new Rotor Housings...

What about you!!?:nod:

I vote new rotor housings :)

I'll probably just pay off my credit card, and save the rest in case it takes me a little while to get another room-mate to split the rent ($2,500/mo) when I get home from deployment.

Same, maybe set some aside for a vacation for the wife and I, pay some bills ahead of time and then use some for some bushing and FMIC and various things that I need to fix on the 7

Can't wait to see how much I get to pay

That means you either make too much OR don't take enough out lol

Looking for wheels

I definitely don't take enough out. I don't like giving the gov't an interest free loan.

yeah, so they can bail out everyone but us...

Still, counting my pennies for some nice wheels

True! I don't understand why people do this. Especially if you have debt to pay off.

I'd like to get a checkup, a tune and hopefully a mint pair of Spirit R seats :(.

Problem is that people don't pay their debt off with the extra money. But who am I to talk...I own an FD which screams debt.

Better to use the extra money than more credit cards right?

LOL...this is america...we built it on credit.

I'll probably put it towards my paint job.

I plan on getting a PFC or dual oil coolers.

Pillow balls.

What kind of wheels are you looking for?
Will you be selling your current setup?

Coil-overs, Superpros installed (no time to do it myself), new brake pads and Dunlop star-specs all around

The car is going to handle on rails

Not quite sure...window shopping right now. Want to upgrade the look but I'll probably keep the RP01s for eventual track

A trip to tj. =o

I already ordered myself a set of coilovers.

I really wanna get new wheels but i dont think my body/paint is worthy enough to get the wheels i want.

So maybe just the coilovers and a roll bar.

Then just bank the remainder of the money.

I haven't decided if I'm gonna spend it on the FC or the FD yet... :scratch:

What coilovers did you order?

and What Wheels are you looking at?

apexi exv N1 coilovers.

I was looking at a couple of different wheels actually.

CCW classics, XD-9, Work Meister S1 (same exact finish/size/offset as rx7rage).

All of which are too good for my car and take a bit of time to get so i figure i would put wheels off and do important stuff first. Coilovers was top priority. I have neglected it for way to long now so i finally decided to just buy it.

I probably wont be able to install it til late march anyway because of all this crazy weather we been getting. But at least i bought them.

im gonna get..... o wait im in real life now :( i have to pay rent and bills... but maybe if the government is good to me ill get a twin power and some interior bits.

20B shortblock....










































j/k.....


or maybe not ;)

Crispy

Either a 20B for my 1990 Convertible, or a set of 285/30-18 Toyo R888s for my on-order track wheels :)

Granted... I also already spent all my allotted moneys for the car over christmas.

Got her a rebuild (PFS Streetport), upgraded to a single (A-Spec pt6265, ceramic coated everything), refreshed the intake manifolds (ported TB, extrude honed the UIM/LIM and Ceramic coated the outside, while teflon coating the inside), and upgraded my suspension to HKS Hypermax Pro.

I'll finish the break-in and finalize the tune when I get home from Afghanistan this summer.

Pay off some debt with half of it and spend 1/4 to get a Tune up, Knight Sports tuned ECU, Defi Water Temp Gauge, Dual guage pod, OEM A/C control panel, Airpump delete pulley kit, idler pulley, New HKS air filters and some small things to keep me happy

Oh, the other 1/4 is to buy new furniture for my apartment :)

Tax Return? All I'm hoping for is to write the smallest possible number on the check to Uncle Sam this April.

That sucks...my buddy fiz-e on the forum is a single guy making over 75k a year and he always gets banged by uncle sam for at least 3k.... Get married and things will change...( In every way :( )

R888's? Go Hoosier or go home. Once you've driven on Hoosiers nothing else will do. ;)

Crispy

:nod:

Exactly, it's more like what goodies am I selling :(

I nice return would be good, since I already bought a load of goodies.

:lol: I like the avatar change.

I'm less worried about what Uncle Sam will give back than I am about what portion my wife will let me touch.

Hopefully a TII for the FC, but I doubt it. FD gets nothing, since it's on the way out. :/

NA Miata.

Saving for a wedding ;)

FD gets no love for awhile.... just a lot of detailing.

Tropic thunder is my all time favorite comedy hahaha

^ "I'm a dude _playing_ a dude, disguised as another dude"

Im getting just enough to buy second maybe third hand wheels and tires

Chipotle.
