Ok.. I always think of this and it bothers me... I am deciding whether I should keep on modifying my car or save all of my money until I could afford to buy something "faster" and something that I've been wanting to get... EVO.. FYI, I got my civic as a gift and I am not paying any bill except for my cellfone and other necessities... what do you guys really think about this? should I spend or save? I need some comments/opinions/suggestions on this...

there are couple things:

If I get a new car.. I will have a responsibility to pay for my monthly bill for my car and maybe a lil help to pay for my insurance... that's gonna be a big responsibility for myself...

or

If I keep my civic.. I don't have to pay for anything... and I can modify my civic as I save lil by lil (maybe)...

**** I don't really know what to do.... I feel like I'm just repeating myself over and over.. just say what you guys think.... aw yea I would never sell my civic by the way.. I will keep it no matter what.... coz it was a gift..

Have you ever thought about boosting the 7thgen? Personally I would keep the civic. I know it would be cool to have an Evo, but do you really want car payments? I'd say keep the civic and if your looking for a little more speed, think about a turbo setup.

Car payments suck.Once the newness of the new car wears off you will have even less money for mods.

I agree man. If my vic was given to me as a gift I'd drop a boosted K20 in there. I have $6100 left for the next 2 1/2 years, I think. If I was you, I'd just boost the D17. You DON'T wanna deal with a big car payment every month. Plus insurance on top of that.

Here is what you do....... You get a credit card.... If the car was a gift then id say that your parrents would help you get a credit card.... Got to the nearest hook up shop and put a full turbo kit on order.... Then pay down the bill monthly on the turbo.. You will be pleased to have a turbo civic. I WISH I HAD ONE!

From a pinoy to another... Keep the car and just save your money. Unless you want to be like me and trade it in (which is what I did but no regrets). I was in your same situation except I was paying for my car, insurance, etc.

I say keep it. You'll save $$ in the long run which was what I was doing when I still had my old integra running fine.

hmm which turbo is CARB legal? everytime I get pulled over.. for some reason cop would want me open the hood and hoping he will find some illegal ****...

I know when I think about it.. I'm actually lucky.. I got my car as a gift.. and I have $4000 credit line in my credit card right now... I am tempted to buy something or maybe not.. coz I don't wanna be in debt hehe... maybe I will just keep my civic coz you guys are right.. I don't wanna have a car/insurance bills.. imma lucky bastard.. aw it's not my "parents" paying for it.. just my "parent" yea just my mom... btw, I would love to do swap and turbo (that's not gonna be in 2 years probably hahaha)...

oh wait! I have automatic.. how am I gonna get a turbo? can I?

Of course you can turbo an auto. Dezod, BoostedCivicZex, Importracer2123 are all boosted auto's. I know there are alot of others as well. Start reading the F/I forum, you will learn alot! Dezod is releasing his kit very soon. You could always go custom and build your own kit the way you want it but unless you want a **** load of hassles, I would stay away from the SF kits.

a civic is a civic, get a another a car if u got the money, even to decide to keep the civic, imo i would stop moding it also, waste of money, when the time comes u wish u havent spent that money on the car

persoanly i would keep the civic and save up.. get lip kit on it if u dont have one.. blackoutlights change the girll some nice 16's 15's black with polished lip... and then start workin on the engine.. either swap a k20 in or turbo the d17... but thats just me

Keep the civic for now and do nothing to it. Work2 or 3 jobs if you have to and SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! then trade in the civic And say you have,,,,$30,000 in the bank. Take out a loan for that $30,000 and just pay it back over time. You will one, Be building credit and two, Building intrest. If you don't have the money to back up a note, then dont get a new car. Medical problems have occured for me and set me back alot, bills are way up and I would hate to see the same happen to someone else. I hope you will consider what I have said.

Currently there aren't any CARB legal kits for our cars.
