Thread: What are you doing this year tax return?

sober moves into buzzed, which moves into drunk, which moves into wasted, which moves into white girl wasted.

if i'm actually drinking "normally" on a night i don't have to get up the next day i skip steps.

Depending on how much. I will be paying a couple months rent. And start saving for xpz

This is what I am doing..

Paying off a credit card, got new riding gear for my bikes, and probably save the rest.

Nothing. I owe money. So does my Dad. In his case, both to the Feds and the state. LOL

^ well you gotta quit getting caught pilfering money from the gooberments

Got my return yesterday. Already "spent" $550 to pay off a credit card. I also got an offer in the mail yesterday for another card for 0% APR on balance transfers until 5/15. I jumped on that and paid off another older loan. Now I only have two payments a month (other than utilities, etc) and that includes the car. Both the car and the credit card should be paid, or close to it, by September.

Hows this look?

looks like you should have shopped around.

X2!

I got almost everything on that list for like $300

Well guy you gots luck!

But things like the AF, 42.5,3.4 you definitely could of found used pretty easily. Now the cam.. That you might have been waiting around for.

Well thats the thing i dont want used, especially anything like a cam or double roller i just dont trust it. And the other stuff well you never know 1 injector could have issues ect. I just would rather spend the extra money and get it new and have no issues. Thats just me.Plus i havnt purchased anything yet. Returns will be here monday. So if anyone has a good deals with low miles i might concider

I wouldn't buy valvetrain parts used, but that's me.

Everything else...sure. I had used injectors and they were just fine.

My AF was used, my pulley's were ALWAYS used...I don't see how a MPS would go bad other than if someone hit it with a hammer, like Josh would do.

I wouldn't buy a double roller either. Get a new stock chain and dampner and buy Crow 105's with Titanium retainers. DB isn't needed with a small cam like an XP.

So there, I just halved your spending...and that's doing it legit, too.

A used cam is fine. Unless it had visible wear marks on it.,



And I'll use a hammer on yer face...

I would not trust a used cam. Someone could very well just have the thing sitting on its side on a table. Cams warp if not properly stored. Yea maby i dont need a double roller but why not when im going to be in there anyway, that way i dont have to worry about it. This car is a dd i dont want issues or possibilities for things to break ect. I could find a used af but everyone thinks there used stuff is almost worth what it is new. Sure i could save a few hundred but its not really worth it to me. Also why go 105s when they are gonna be around the same price as the 125s. Why but used 42.5s when someone is gonna want 150-200 for them anyway used. Sure the pully i can get used but what another 30$ when im in this far?

I had my cam laying on the shelf in my garage for about 2 years before i used it. Works fine and got it for $100. I got my af for $130 and my 42.5# with the ev1-ev6 adapters for $125.

Maby these cams are fine, idk. Just going off what i learned in school.When they warp its not something your going to notice naked eye. We are talking tenths, which could be enough to wipe out a bearing, just not worth it to me to take that risk for another hundred bucks.But anyway ive been looking on the for sale thread for about a month and cant find anything im looking for.
