i have never been camping. parts of it sound fun while others seem to bother me. do you go to camp sights that have cabins or to camp sites where you live out of tents?

****, if it looked like that I wouldn't be selling it. That's just my inspiration. I had the wheels, the suspension, somewhere to work on it, I just don't have the time or the patience for a project right now.

420sx · 07-14-2010, 11:02 AM

Bummer! I say dont give up on it. Im always the one in my group of friends who always says "dont give up! finish it!" I hate seeing a project get sold unfinished, especially when you have to take a huge hit on value.

Rather than spending the money on coils and wheels, why not fix everything that needs being fixed first, and THEN start to mod? Thats how i've managed to keep my car somewhat reliable.

I like where your head is at. Jackie, sorry about the whip.

omgjacki · 07-14-2010, 11:08 AM

It was somewhat reliable. I've had these parts sitting at my house for months. It just seems like it get worse everyday. I want a new car--or a new-er car. Something with AC and airbags.

That's why the M3 is so perfect. It's rough and noisy but has a/c, nav, etc etc. I'm working on plans to make the 540 the ultimate touring machine... full car pc and much improved system components. I'm actually thinking about pulling it from the m3 entirely. The m3 is better suited for racing at this point and the only thing I feel like ripping out is the sub box and the spare tire when I'm there. It also didn't have enough space to setup the car pc properly whereas the 540 has tons of space. Still I wish I had a mustang or 3000gt to do it in. So much wasted space behind the center console to work with. I have to figure out if I damaged the m3 too much doing the car pc screen to revert to a standard head unit setup.

I've developed a rash on two of my tattoos due to allergies. It sucks so hard.

420sx · 07-14-2010, 11:36 AM

piku, you kinda have the same goal as I do for my 240. Not all about the drift hype, but i want a full weight car that could be capable on a track. But still set up for the street. Nice ride, a/c, p/s, cruise- hell, I even have a sub and two amps. Im not into weight reduction at all... still have my oem spare and scissor jack too. Im into reliable, useable power, with no luxuries sacraficed.

Jacki, sell the S13 and pick up a nice s14 zenki. I have to be honest, I think youd lose just a few cool points if you got a sentra or something.

jpalamar · 07-14-2010, 11:37 AM

I agree, anyone with money can build a race car, I like seeing cars that are easily streetable but can preformce really well.

did it just develop or did it occur when you first got them put on your body?

When you talk about making your car full car pc you remind me of Devon Miles from Knight Rider.

I have terrible allergies. I've developed eczema, so in the spring and summer when my allergies are extra bothersome, I break out in rashes. My skin is so sensitive, I will get a rash from the metal (nickel) button on my jeans. I'm guessing that because the tattooed area now has "foreign material" there, my skin reacts differently.

I don't know...I'll suffer though it because I love my tattoos and plan to have many, many more.

I wonder if there are different types of ink that are made specifically for more sensitive skin. Could that be helpful for you?

Or just don't get more? Thats the same as someone who is allergic to animals but buys a pet... or working at Texas Roadhouse being alergic to peanuts.

Sonuds simple enough.

Same here, I can't wait to see my 7% raise! It probally won't make a difference but more is still more.

russiankid · 07-14-2010, 12:34 PM

I've been waiting to get tint on my car, which is why I am excited. Instead of getting it done a while ago, I waited so that I can do tint and still have money left over for things.

angdefeo · 07-14-2010, 12:34 PM

How has your cat been Jay? Is he getting adjusted to your house?

Hey all. Hadn't had the motivation to come into TST today really. Hope you all are doing well.
