I'm still financing too but it seems like any sort of disposable income goes to the MR2
I guess with a side project and the FRS still under warranty, it's kind of in my interests to keep the Scion stock while the older car is okay to tinker around with. I can afford the MR2 being down IF anything happens (its always been a very reliable car = 90's overbuilt Toyota). But not my brand new FRS, with waranty and still being financed. I'll rather keep her stock till it's free from the loan then do EVERYTHING after. It'd suck to have a car that is financed, blow a motor or a gearbox after you sunk monies into a powerful setup, and still having to pay out of pocket to fix it on top of the loan. That's like a double whammy ahaha.
Since I DD my FRS, I need it to be 100% reliable. That means stock or close to stock. I've been very good at keeping it that way so far. I will admit though, I am toying with idea of selling my MR2 and sinking the funds into a beater then turbo'ing the FRS. Having a beater would allow me to tinker with the FRS safely because I could afford to have it down if anything happens. But then I would be driving a beater, lose my MR2
, and have payments on a car I can risk potentially blowing up. But a turbo FRS is just so badass!!! Logically though, the MR2 already provides me what a basic turbo FRS offers so for now, the FRS is my beater with a warranty lol.
