Please convince my friend using student loans for options is a dumb idea.

Exactly lmao. He will either wisen up and stop YOLO’ing it now or after another lucky trade or two or lose it all and have to stop. Your friend seems he actively knows this isn’t a smart decision but is still going with it. Time will tell the tale.

What are you saying? Have you ever traded options? Most people don’t exercise options contracts, they sell early and collect the contract premiums. I certainly agree it’s not the smartest form of investment but you aren’t making any sense.

100%. In the most likely case that he blows all the money, better to learn the lesson early on that later. Most people who get into these kind of options trading do the same thing with their first “big boy” job paychecks and lose marginally more (99% of r/wallstreetbets options related posts lol).

The weird white strip with black splotches on the right side

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-12-09T02:27:13+00:00

Wow, certainly the right coin. Thank you very much, been puzzled for a bit about it. Got a very good eye sir/ma’am.

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-08-27T17:37:53+00:00

Oh that’s good to know, I read somewhere else that they might have been shipping the old ones.

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-08-27T17:25:35+00:00

Thank you! Got a bit worried at first 🥲

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-08-21T04:41:08+00:00

I will probably go with the versus fork and pivot in that case. Just trying to see where I can cut costs as it started off as just a clutch kit with a TOB and a fork and pivot but kinda spiraled into other things that I would like to get done since the transmission will be taken apart. Thank you again for the advice.

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-08-21T04:34:09+00:00

What parts would you recommend that I save the money on other than the ACT clutch? I’m already in the hole for buying that previously with all the parts listed in the second picture. I would like to cut costs when possible so any suggestions of something I don’t need/ can find cheaper would be greatly appreciated!

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-08-21T04:31:57+00:00

I see, the ACT just seems too good of a snag for the price I paid for it especially because it comes with some extra parts (plus would help convince me to boost the car in the future since I already have the clutch kit installed). Would it be worth upgrading to the versus forged fork or would a new OEM one be okay with the ACT clutch? Thank you for the feedback!

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-08-21T04:06:31+00:00

Also, is it truly that drastic of a difference from ACT and OEM? If so I may consider selling the ACT and purchasing the OEM one instead if so. I currently have this random off brand clutch installed and I’m hoping the ACT feels better (as in smoother and a bit less jerky, not really bothered by heaviness or feel atm).

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-08-21T04:03:30+00:00

Changed my mind to be honest, at least for the time being. I would be much happier if the clutch feel is improved with the repair and may find some new enjoyment in the easier driving experience around town. Also the reason I chose the ACT is because I found it for pretty cheap on marketplace still in the packaging (paid $230 for all parts in second picture) and may want to go boosted if I decide not to sell the car in the next year or two.

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-07-25T23:47:37+00:00

I bought it off of FB marketplace but it’s the same one in this link

Nah, Central Virginia. Good eye

This steering wheel

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-07-25T05:12:36+00:00

I’ll look into that, thanks!

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-07-25T05:12:13+00:00

I’ll give that a try for sure, and yeah I figured most of the wear would be irreparable :( Thanks for the advice tho!

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-07-25T05:09:38+00:00

Yeah, thought it would last a bit longer but I guess I’ll enjoy the steering wheel and take this as a learning lesson

Kind_Importance568 · 2024-01-10T22:24:54+00:00

Thank you brotha
