How much did you pay for all of it?

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

enough lol.

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Damn, that's a hell of a deal!

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Pm me if you want to know. Because there was a mistake made on the order. But that has been resolved.

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Got our return on Friday!

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Got mine on Friday too. Gonna sit on it for a while. I'll have to use ~$100-$120 of it for transmission related stuff, but other than that it's going in the savings account.

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

i picked up some new wheels and tires for the jeep, but the rest is being saved for a rainy day.......which this economy has a lot of

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Got the last of my return on friday, don't know if I want to use it towards making the swap to e85 or save it. Save it would probably be the responsible thing, but I can't make up my mind.... :(

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

e85 will be much more fun than being responsible :lol:

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

That's why the decision is so tough haha.

Already have the badge:

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

There's only one reasonable decision and your badge says it all. haha

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

We just went and bought the Ethan Allen dining room set Janelle's been wanting. I think I need to order a few car parts to offset the girliness of today...

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

I'm getting about $180 back, total. I don't send them much in the first place, and I haven't done anything that qualifies for the big money back programs.

And I guess that covers the nice camlock 5 point harness I picked up last week.

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

We'll see, but this might be finding a spot in my garage real soon. Not this particular one, this would be the end product. :sasmokin:

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Lotus Esprite V8? Nice choice!

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

For some reason, I wanted to say lambo. But thats because I'm slanted eyed and can't see good.

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Sweet shit Steve!

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Actually the turbo 4, the V8's had the newer front bumper and bigger rear spoiler. This is an SE model, kinda my favorite and fairly affordable if you are your own mechanic. :) With a Renault engine and Citroen gearbox, these things make a DSM look like a Camry in terms of reliability. Tool box and shop manual fit neatly in the rear compartment at all times.

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

That comparison is a nice one.

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

citroen gearbox = puke. If you need parts for the motor let me know since my whole family is in england and I am usually there every year.

I liked teh pic you put up:

Damn ***** the motor is in da back!!

So what are you gonna do for power in this beast?

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

Frick thats one of my dream cars! Ill have to bum a ride in it sometime steve. :D

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

I did a ton of reading up on it last night as well as looking through a bunch of pics of the engine and tranny being apart. I'm very impressed at the build quality that I saw in the pics and the tranny case literally splits in half and exposes the gear shafts easily. I was expecting all kinds of strange things but overall, the drivetrain looks pretty straightforward and easy to work on.

The deal's not done so it's too early to know, but if I get it, I'll start going through it and decide if it will take the place of my GSX. If that's the case, I'll skip some of the upgrades/downgrades I'm doing now making a quick 16G car, make it mostly stock and sell it. If not, I'll sell it and find something else interesting to buy.

I really like that half of the Lotus owners also have or have had a Ferrari or other exotic. Kinda like a lot of us old DSMr's now also getting GT500's, Vipers and Z06's.

Re: It's Tax Time Again - Whatcha Gettin?
 

well I picked up a bike so most my tax return was spent on it. picked up all the riding gear I'd need helmet, jacket, gloves, boots.I also got a bunch of parts for it k&n air filter, power commander, tre mod, a 520 chain kit with -1 +2 sprockets, a speedo healer so the speedo reads right with the new gearing and a widescreen. and I'll probably have some more work done on the tat on my leg I'm working on
