[moosethebelgian]

WINGLESS FTW well on that car at least :) ... graphics need to come off desperately though!

[dickerdieter]

[Ender81]

I don't hate you Paul, you was the bomb in that hideous Evo.

Just playing Will, new wheels look a lot better. Great improvement over when you first got it. You can tell because all of the people who treated you like crap when you posted pictures the first time have nothing new to say :wink:

[Willdue]

[Willdue]

[Willdue]

Its funny how I changed peoples thoughts on this car lol

[Omar_MSP]

any future mods for under the hood???

Well, honestly, idk. I wanted to back out of the car scene for awhile and focus on my music and go back to school. But that was on my old pay. Prolly juss bolt ons and maybe some internals. I don't have the want/money to spend on turbo and the problems all turbo cars can have, its not worth it to me. Def some more power will be put down though, if I can get 220whp without F/I ill be more then happy.

[MuddyREX]

Wow, you've really turned that car around.

You have done good, sir. Good for mankind.

[Black Jesus]

Black Jesus approves

220hp sounds good.

Do what you gotta do first. Hooking up cars is a hobby. For some "me" a career. I would finish what I started if I was you. I'm glad I'm done with UTI, now I have something under my belt.

[mtwn]

looks much better

[Willdue]

looks much better


Thanks, and btw, its a mis firing injector, not a vacuum leak.

Yea, thing is, I'm not even really into driven fast anymore, I'm fine wit juss having a nice clean car. Speed is cool, and a great thrill, but I'd rather juss cruise, and one day I hope I can afford to build a track car. I'd rather spend my money on studio equipment.

[Willdue]

Well, you can say I saved a dsm or whatever.....


But she's for sale on autotrader and the local auto locater...

[uurxin]

car is looking better and better.. shame you got to sell it.. and i dont think i can give up going fast.. i am always going to have that urge to slam that right petal into the ground.. and make some quick flicks of the wheel ..
