Help to stop smoking.

[slamm]

Ok, so here's the deal. I have just quit smoking and aim to go at least 3 months(hopefully for ever) without a cigarette. Being an ex pack a day smoker, I now have some extra cash in my hands. To hold me to my pact, I need a goal. And that goal is going to be something for my line. But what?

So, in three months (saving about $50 a week-after patches etc- ) I should have 600 bucks. Should I get ;

* New front bar? Mine is broken and chipped to buggery

* SAFCII

* bolt on/engine upgrade (suggestions?)

* ?

* what I really want (pwr FC) 600 only a down payment. :boohoo:

Already got FMIC, EBC, Exhaust, Wheels, suspension, Sound. (soon to have fuel pump, fuel cut defender)

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Am hoping one day to get 200 kw out of her. and here's a pic of the front bar.

I havent had a smoke since drag combat round one.Cold the sphincter of the universe and i feel like a million bucks not 600.Do your life, car and image a favor give up the stinking fcuken things feel better and get addicted to modding your car instead.Paul...DIRTgarage.

The wife and i stopped when she got pregnant 3.5 years ago...it was pretty easy with that sort of motivation ...best thing we ever did ..have the babys..but quitting smokes was 1 of the smartest moves we made.......AND THE MONEY unless you really support the government 50/60% per pkt tax...QUIT

[slamm]

i've already gone twelve days without one, so im on it. But some of the quit programs suggest you give yourself a reward so thats what im gonna do.

Don't be soft. Your reward is your health.

Your reward is your health.

pffft wat are these sissies talking about??? Nothing more manly than puffing on one....maybe 2 ciggies at a time. In fact, sell your car and stock up on cartons of cigarettes!!

Hahhaha jokes man, good on ya for quitting, i'm with you, makes it much easier to quit if you have something tangible to aim towards.

Look towards the power FC i reckon. That way you have more incentive for longer, plus its a mad upgrade!!

(ps i never actually took up smoking but i'm talking in general terms!)

go another month ($800 - or just save another $15/week) and get a second hand power fc for sure. then, after another 8-10 weeks ($4-500), get it tuned. 2 goals/rewards right there. and by that time you'll be over the durries and addicted to modding your car. thats about where im at now...

edit: forget the front bar, cosmetic mods are for sissies!

can you tell that to my good friend sprocket

[blind_elk]

My reward when I quit was to take a cake to work every 3 months. Also kept me honest with workmates who knew I had quit.

Part of my quit process was to cause Melbourne's water crisis - I was drinking water by the gallon! 1 of those sports drink bottles in the office, and 1 for home / car.

Congrats on kicking the dreadful habit.

[TurboX]

Congrats on dropping the coffin nails!!

Now when you my age you can give all the young guys around you the shits by telling them you are so glad you gave up when you did,and to wake up to themselves!

Thanks also for making me realise that all that money I have wasted(??) on cars was only what I did not spend on that disgusting habit over all the years.

PS - It will be hard to completely give up - they ARE a DRUG of addiction !! :skull:

Hang in there.

[Craved]

This is a good suggestion, wish i thought of this way... time to start quiting again

good luck!!

[slamm]

thanks for all the comments guys, its actually been pretty easy so far. The patches work great (the dreams when you're asleep are mad as) and I'm not having to wear them all the time now. Haven't yet been out or had a drink. That will be the killer if there is to be one.

As for the line, its sort of down to a pwr fc or front bar. Anybody know where to start looking (apart from on here) for 2nd hand bars and pwr FC's?

cheers, Mark
