i hear ya. good luck man. you just gonna be stock or go turbo?

 

nice pics!!!

 

Thanks tc!!!

Sid im gonna go bolt on, maybe an intake/header, im goin to be gettin rid of my tc around next summer so a turbo isnt feasable

 

i see. that sucks man, i wish there was another way.

 

Well ive had the car for 3 yrs, its been paid off since day 1 and i think im ready for an upgrade, but my head is constantly pushin me in different directions. I might end up keepin the tc as a DD since i doubt ill get more than 3k for it being that its a rebuilt title, but who knows, im estimating by next summer to get a new ride

 

keep it as a dd and get something beast.

you paid it off day 1? damn nice.

 

well it was a graduation present from my fam.
Granted it was a rebuilt title and cost 8k out the door back in 07, but i've never got bit in the **** for it....yet

 

haha, well i think you are getting bit right now broseph.

speaking of bite's, i have chigger bites everywhere, time to go to get some nailpolish

 

lmao now that I think about it, my car has bit me in the **** quite a bit:

List of FAIL:

-2 Blown Superchargers

-My F&F V2 Coils weren't made properly so Pete had to notch the front 2 to fit

-Wilwood sent the wrong brake pads for my kit so I had to re-order them

-My car had a bunch of shattered glass when i took out my back row.

-Turns out my car's door was blue (found out when I switched out my door panels)

-Got a hit and run at work *the douche didn't even leave any contact info

-Had a flat that fcked up my time attack stripe on my Raderwerks.

-My brackets for my Recaro's came bent, so they had to be hammered into a position where they would fit with stock placement.

-When I got my gauges and HVAC done, the kid that helped me blew up my LCD screen, which I still haven't replaced.

-I've had the Gauge Pillar warp 3 times *before buying the Autometer one which has held up

-Had 2 loose control arms in the past year

Wow reading that just made me so depressed

 

wow, that kinda ruined my day reading that. sounds like my altima. except i went through 1 engine, 3 ECU's, 1 subframe, 1 heating unit...etc

i feel for ya man.

 

what do you mean 2 loose control arms???

and yea i was the magical one hammering his brackets to get them to fit LMAO.. WHAT A MISSION!!! and had to notch his f&f coilovers.. i also saw the broken glass and was hella scared installing his spring...

not to mention i installed his suspension in a freaking thunder storm with power tools in the rain!!!....and i was there also trying to install his willwoods when the first time around they came all dookied up!!!...

his car has been a fighter ever since i started working on it...

 

lol hey, at the end of the day and despite all that you still end up loving your car :D

 

lol yea bro, everytime i'd let off the gas you would here a CLUNK, so I had it checked out and apparently the control arm was terribly loose.

Lol IIRC the only thing that didn't put up a fight was the install of the Lip kit. Everything else has been a royal PITA

Eleanor Status FTL

 

yea i love mines.. shes a fighter also.. but not as temperamental as yours!!!

1 exploded clutch
1 fried maf sensor
2 different blocks
2 different heads
1 leaking tranny with busted oring seal
i duno i lost track of stupid things lmao

 

lmao not to mention the cracked LM when you originally got em!

 

holy ____ yea dont remind me... cracked LM face FTL!!!! luckily they had the exact same wheel in storage as a spare haha.. if not i would have been screwed.. no LMs for me

 

LMAO how could I forget! When I bought my falkens 912's they sent me a 3 912's and a Kumho Ecsta...WTF!?!?

 

i'll probably cop the meisters when i get back from my tour overseas. i was going to get them before i left but the timing wouldn't work out with waiting on them.

 

damn, they should look nice on your car.

I've been contemplating pulling the trigger on them for a WHILE now..but I really want to go back to 18's which is what has stopped me i guess

 

why'd that stop you? yeah i've been on the same boat with thinking about them. i would have went through with it if i didn't already have a good, somewhat pricey set. but i'm probably going to just b/c i want them. idc if a few others have them, i want them on MY car, lol. besides my ride is going to be totally different looking that theirs i'm sure--color, kit and a few accessories.
