plain and simple, you want to mod your car and make it the dream machine
BUT like all things these days - funds just don't go far enough. be it family, debt, morgage, whatever. Tell us your LEGAL way you have (or will) fund that "must have" mod. what have you sold, what limb you traded etc...etc..... this should be good!!! cheers, Philbie

Its called internet marketing! I currently run 2 of my own sites but you cant earn as much from mine!
All you need to do is sign up and surf 100 sites per day to collect 10% of your account balance. The surf feature is easy once your account is created you simply click a link and a new page opens and automatically surfs for you! you dont even need to site in front of it just leave the window in the background! They will give you $10 just for signing up but my suggestion is to invest $90 to make a balance of $100 so you earn $1 per day just to prove that is works! I have been using this site for over 5 months now and i have put in $1800 of my own money and returned over $2500 straight into my bank! If you need more info about the site just read the FAQ's section that will explain it a bit better! But im not shitting you this really works and no catch! |

Running insurance and car theft rackets to fund mods is not recommended just ask our last summernats winner. :evilsasmo

It's called refinancing a house
 It's nice to have equity occasionally. Paying it back isn't fun though. I'm in the middle of refinacing to pay for the last mods I did on the XB.

Hi Philbie! How is the new beast going???
Um mods? I funded mine by using bonuses from work (which I no longer get) mainly. And some of the smaller ones have just been with some spare cash here and there. Eamon got my BPT thermostat for my mothers day present and put it in, and he also did my GT snorkel for me. Let me tell you, for many mods, it is VERY handy to have a mechanic living with you, and even better, a mechanic who works at a Ford dealership! Can get cheaper parts, access the workshop, do a lot of work himself and get some mates to give him a hand for the bigger stuff (ie new clutches).... But cant get enough mods.... hehe.

Oh yeah you just reminded me Jac, work bonus's as well as tax returns. I was thinking of paying slightly more tax and also joining a Christmas club type thing so that every 6 months I could get a cash injection towards a big mod and just have little things to tide me over in between.
Jac, did Eamon install the GT pod filter setup on your XR? If he did ill have to give him a call and to talk me through it! |

Ive got nearly $3k in the bank plus sell the TX5 which should see me get another $3k at least. Save up another $4k and then borrow the rest. Thats my plan. I think i gotta calm down on the booze aswell. Also instead of buying lunch just take leftovers if any, dont flog the shit outta ya car and save a bit on fuel and oil. |

my opinion!
invest a little to start off with just so you can see that it really does pay! the farg it dump afew more hunge in there so you can earn good income! payday is neary here as they pay you at the end of everymonth and im currently owed $611 US dollars with 5 days left of surfing! even ask dez he has seen the funds in my account! try spending a minute to read the faq's as well to get a better understanding or how you can earn more $$$ from referring others! |

Yeah but 5 of them cost me $45,000 or less. So it sounds more impressive than it really is.
