Boosting while paying off car
 

I've notice that most of the members here have boosted cars that seem to be already payed off. Im not sure. I know Dr. Boost is planning on boosting his new car that he payed off already and im sure there many more of you too. The only people i know that might be still paying off there car is me and teg. Are there any others?

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

---- it, as long as you don't plan on trading it in any time soon :-\ i plan on keeping my car until it rusts out, in a year or two, it's not going to be a daily driver and more of a race car. ----, i would have kept my 93 teg, but it was a little rusty, and that's one thing i won't tolerate....

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

poor bastards....pay the ---- off like the rest of us

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

yeah thats what my father keeps telling me but im not wating until 2008 to just boost my car. Its already slow to begain with and i want to have fun with this car. Im pretty much stuck with it so I might as well make it faster

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

I did that once I have the car outside being parted out and I still owe money on it :( That was one hard ass lesson I learned, after putting about $10G's into it in about 2 years I just gave up. Now I'm sticking with old cars that I can buy cash in hand, if I blow it up I'll just push back in my garage until I find another motor. And I will never mod a daily driven car again unless it is just minor stuff (ricer crap) :P

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

well, i say ---- it. my car will be paid off in two years, and if i blow it up, i have another car to drive until i put a new engine in it. but as soon as i get it boosted, i'm buying a spare b16 to build, that way i'll still have the stock b16 to throw back in it and all the numbers will match up and what not if i do for some reason sell it.

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

I boosted my 99 last Aug. but dudnt end up payingit off until just a few weeks ago. I said to myself "Well, I can either make this car a car that I want to drive while I am paying for it, or I can sell it now and get a car that I do want to drive". Now that I am boosted I think I will hold onto the civic forever, and I am not in such a hurry to go looking for a new car. I say boost it; otherwise you are constantly going to be thinking about getting rid of the car.

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

Just finished boosting my 2000 Integra... uuum which I might add I'm still paying for and only have about 17,000 miles on ;) If I brought it back to the dealer now they'd probably cry.

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

Wow!Steve your ------- brave :o.---- at 17k miles I was scared to cahnge my oil let alone the whole front end.

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

wow i better shut up now. that is brave

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

Almost paid off though. I figure another year or less. I don't drive the car much, I used to, but decided to make it a "project car".

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

At 58,000kms (36,000 miles), I pulled the d16 out of mine and swaped in a b18b. 85,000 kms now on the odo and it's boosted. :)

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

Wow, I thought I was the only one dumb enough to do something like that? :-[ I still owed like $1700 on my car and it was parted out like a stolen car in California. It really sucked paying for a car that you couldn't drive. I sold the remains for $20 just to get it out of my garage. Now I have a new one sitting in the garage all tore up, but it's payed for. 8)

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

Mines paid off and 90% boosted. I love it, cause if I blow an engine then I have some money left over every month to get a new one. Another cool thing is that we paid off my wife's Cabrio yesterday. It feels good to have to paid cars, but the Cabrio is for sale so we can get a new car. Oh well, back to debt. :P

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

I purposely bought my car using a line of credit instead of a car loan. The car was only $3000, and the car loan would have had a substantially lower rate, but with the line of credit I keep the title, which means I only pay for liability only insurance (about $300 every six months). Then, if something terrible goes wrong, I can always take a draw on my line of credit to pay for what I need to fix the car and it's just like it's on my car loan.

Anyway, the line of credit doesn't have that high of an interest rate, but you'd only want to do this on a little bit older of a car that isn't too expensive (and be confident that you won't be at fault if you crash the dumb thing!!)

I just borrow money from my parents ???

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

your officaily now not considered an adult. most of us pay for our own ---- here ::)

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

well, my car will be paid off in less than two years and i plan on keeping it for a while afterwards and just put my what would be payment, towards engines, building and replacing the engine every year would be cheaper than making payments, not to mention, if worst comes to worst and your broke and blow your engine, what's the most you'll have to spend? 5 or 600 on pistons/rods, just sell some of your turbo kit if you have to then buy a better set up as you get the money and you'll have a built block this time. where theres a will, theres a way..

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

wow...

I was going to buy a WRX about two years ago but I balied out at the last moment (already made a downpayment) because the thought of having a car payment really bothered me. Anybody else never have a car payment?

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

how the ---- are you suppose to have a nice car with out a payment unless you have mad loot to drop 10-15k cash?? i personally am not happy with a hoop-d, but that's just me :-\

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

don't get me wrong I don't have "mad loot" to drop on the S2000 I will be buying in a year or so. A car payment on a $34k car is no joke.

My uncle is another story. He drove an 87 Nissan Maxima for years... probably put about 320k miles on it... always maintained. And even though he always drove the same car, he was making big money in his job... ended up buying a new BMW 540 about a year ago for cash. :o I don't have that kind of self control. ;)

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

---- that, me either. as soon as i started making good money, i bought two new cars ;D

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

I'm boosting my WRX and it's not payed off ;)

Seriously, but I was afraid of boosting the civic while I still owed, that's why I ended up buying the Hatch and boosting it instead of the civic. If you think you can afford it, do it and get an extra engine, just in case something happens you already have a backup.

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

quick question. if you have insurance and you boost your car and blow your engine up can they deny help paying for a new engine? Is most d16 around 5-600 dollars? I have a 250 deductable on my insurance so thats how much i would have to pay towards a new engine. But I heard if they want they wont help pay for your car parts if you have done modification towards it.

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

just put it back to stock before they come look at it ;) but i don't know what kind of insurance you have, but i think that stuff falls under 'warranty', not insurance ;) i've never heard of ins. paying for an engine.

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

Oh yeah..take the ---- out first good idea teg! And your right, i think the warranty does handle that. But my warranty runs out in 3 years 30,000 miles. But my friend insurance company did help pay for him to by another engine for his intrepid though :-\

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

Was you friend involved in an accident and therefor needed a new engine, or was it just blown. Maybe it depends on the type of insurance and the insurance company you or he has.

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

he was driving on the highway and his piston blew right through the engine and oil spilled all over the high way. the weird thing was he was even boosted. The engine was stock. He said he had to pay 500 for an engine and the insurance covered the rest. My insurance is through USAA its a goverment insurance through my dad so i don't know what they would do :-\

Re:Boosting while paying off car
 

Its really a tought call to boost something your still paying for. I think with most of us, we wouldnt be able to afford it cash wise and chance wise. I just like having the toy crx with no obligations
