all i can say is "looks before speed" made me choke-up my lunch. screw that, speed/handling THEN looks, i've seen some sexy cars that honestly i had no repsiect for after i saw that it was nothing but some flashy looks, speed is # 1 end of story. Now that being said, SP33D07 has some nice mods on both side of the fence so it's a tossup, but if he is really looking for more speed from the car, that is what he sould work on first.

looks before speed HAHAHAHA, maybe if i still had my damn tin can called a neon. i miss my carboard ground effects and the folgers can exhaust.

Personally i think you should save it. i would have my own house right now and not be renting if i hadn't spend $20k on my A4.
Torque Converter i wouldn't worry about right now, you will be safe with the K04 as long as you don't try to launch your car with the TIP (rev and drop into gear or break while reving then releasing the break). if you drive your car really hard or are thinking about going to something bigger then a K04 then go with the Torque Converter. I have heard LV 10 (valve body and torque converter) can introduce some issues so i would not consider doing it unless it's necessary. it's something that is far far down on my list of things to do if i get to that point with this car.

so to summarize:
Speed vs Looks = SPEED
Speed vs Saving = well i recommend saving, but honestly, thats not what i did. yes i kinda regret it, but damn i love my fast car.

 

so you're going to spend your financial aid on your car? is that a student loan or free money from the government?

 

so widgget, you don't have your car lowered? and if you do what was the order you did it in. I'm not talking "looks" as in doin a whole damn body kit or somthing crazy like that but, make the ride look good frist. Don't be rockin stock rims(depending on style) and whippin past everyone in your 4x4. make it look sporty!

as for the money, my school loans were at 1.2% so if you think that a lot of $ to pay in interest then maybe your right, but thats damn near free money that you'll easily pay back once you get out of college.

 

The loans are not that low any longer. I'm paying 4.5% on mine, and they are higher than that now I believe.

 

"Looks Before Speed" = Core creedo of ricers everywhere.

 

how about going to Atlantic city and wasting it there does that sound better. [sm=WTFsgign.gif] if i had rich parents i would not need anyones money, working full time since 14 years old better pay off and it did i was driving my a4 which was my first car when i was 17.

 

i'm running stock rims and suspention, which i don't think look bad at all. rims, coilovers, full body kit, xeions, mesh front grill, this is all stuff i want to get in time but performance should be #1. VROOOOMMM!

 

You are in college, wait for the Real World before thinking about 401k....enjoy the money while you can! Vegas always works.

PS- I am not one to listen to based on my credit score.

 

Holy **** you guys need to get your head out of your asses. The two options lower the car or ko4 - I'm not talking about anything other than wheels and lowering the car. So everyone spouting off about ricer **** can fuckoff.

Put up a post about your car I don't care how many preformance mods you have, all people are going to say is looks good but........when are you going to get some wheels and lower that thing.

 

Yeah I agree, he wanted to know how he should mod his car, not spend his loan money.

(that said, I would save it)

I would put that money into suspension and brakes. But I'm a die hard handling > straight line speed guy.
