No no dont get me wrong, i love the advice. You've answered almost all of my questions and more. But when it comes to tires, without even a shop discount, i can get Dunlop Z1 star specs, (One of the best performance street tires, actually the best for wet/cold surfaces), for less than $800. Which yes, is about $300 more than what i just payed for tires on my Bimmer. But still, its not THAT bad, especially since i plan on running in stock class and theres not a huge amount of expensive modifications i plan on doing.
I still autocross for fun, and am not, by any standards, a national level driver. Therefore i don't need custom valve shocks, or an extremely light exhaust, or even R-compounds.
But as far as money goes, I feel as if you always live in the future, you never get to enjoy the present. Driving to work is boring, if you don't enjoy the ride it takes to get there. Live life as though you're trying to make that drive more exciting... I'm pursuing a passion.
