nope.. i mod based on timing. at the end of every school semester i get an extra check from my job. plus im graduating this year. meaning ill be full time instead of part time, AND ill be getting more money. i budget my mods very well so i should have this all completed by next summer. first step is getting the head kit in and installed. since its all together i gotta set aside 1200 to order it.
Really no money leftover every month after bills, food and gas. Most everything done to my car was done while I still lived with my parents. Those were the days.......

i still live with the 'rents.... but when i graduate my full income is gonna double. im gonna have everything squared away before i officially move out in january. i pay tuition out of pocket, so since that'll be gone ill be putting that towards the rent. i pretty much take care of all my other bills so nothing will be much of a surprise to me. as long as i stay focused on my build budget i should be good to go.

Shoot, i'll just be happy to get back into fulltime work again. For the most part, i'm happy with my car where it stands. Like I said, I just have a few little plans for it......but they can wait. That whole chalkboard paint idea is still running around my head, but I just don't think i'll be able to afford that full scale makeover anytime soon. However, on the brightside, I should be getting my SS/SC lip sometime VERY soon. Also, my unemployment pay + my tax return + my 72 hours vacation pay I had cashed out from my old employer after they laid off.........it might actually overlap when I start my new job, which means i'll have a little bit extra money. BUT, being as i'll only be making a SHITTY $11/hour (compared to the $15.50/hour I was making at my old job) i'll beed to be careful with my money until I start getting commission after 90 days. But I might try to get the Modern Performance mats and SRP Racing pedals sometime soon

Nice man sounds like you got a plan together. I should have my car paid off come january cuz my parents are matching me dollar for dollar on my buyout. So if that goes well then I should be able to rip through the rest of my bills and debt pretty quickly. Being debt free should put me at about a grand worth of whatever money a month which I'd be more than thrilled with. You'll figure everything out though as far as work and money. You seem like you actually care about being employed and wanna try to get ahead.

I've completely changed my build plans so far. Im still getting my cams and lifters. install is just getting pushed back. Thanks to Cobeezy ive seen wut modified head and cams can do with the s/c setup. the NEW build list is
JBP stg1 head kit which includes
Full Race Port and Polish
Glass Bead
Knife Edged Intake Runners
Port Matched Intake
Port Matched Exhaust
JBP Performance Valve Springs (7000rpm)
Viton Valve seals
JBP 3 Angle Valve Job
Stock Valves
Stock Retainers
Stock Locks
Stock Guides
FelPro Head Gasket
Resurfaced Mating Surface
Along with this goes my JBP Triflow cams
And solid Ecotec lifters
For the boost portion of the build
JE 10.5.1 COMP PISTONS
Eagle H-BEAM rods
ARP Head Studs
SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch
60lb Injectors
M62 Supercharger
2.9 Pulley
ZZP Heat Exchanger
Dual Pass
soooo the cams arent goin in till i get the head kit. which is why i call it na/boost build. I'm gonna run around with the buit up head till i can gather all the boost components. so ill still be able to represent for my NA 2.4s for awhile. I'm goin with the jbp head kit cuz its got everything all in one and i wont have to keep buying parts from different places plus they can do all the machine work at one time and i wont have to worry about my car being down for a long amount of time with everything ready to install at once.
So thanks to Cobeezy for the idea!!!!
