well since I know very little about modding naturally aspirated cars, I can only speak from years of modding Audi's I lost a lot of money..although my fit is lowered, with forged wheels and I'm putting in the PRM intake I don't have much room to talk really...
If you are serious about not saving up money and spending it all on a car then I have to doubt your intelligence. I'm all for modding cars and having fun, but that's just downright stupid to spend all your money on a car. I'm guessing you either:
A) live at home with mommy and daddy who have money or B) Don't own a home, or a home worth living in if this is your outlook on saving money.

Couldn't agree more. I am 21, completely debt free, go to college on scholarship and grant money, and I bought my Fit outright.
If that's not a testament to saving up and working since I was 12 then I don't know what is. No one ever helped me, and definitely not my parents. It's not just about saving either--I'm bunked up with friends for my cell phone so me and my 2 best friends entire bill for unlimited sprint is $190-22%-$15 monthly loyalty service credit, then divided 3 ways...that's just an example: it's all about offsetting the bills you know you have to pay so they are as minimal as possible. Guess who pays 1/3rd of my monthly insurance? My neighbor, we carpool.

thank you
the purpose of me purchasing my fit was not because it was more fuel efficient. it mainly was for looks. something different and NEW.
im sure it gonna be less than 9k if not it will have to wait another month or so

good plan.
btw, a k20 swap into a civic (which has mounts you can buy already) runs around $7-10k. That's considering you do a lot of the work yourself. So $9k is pretty unrealistic.
BTW, making $3k a month is not that much. I think saving a bit of it would be a good idea.
