Hah, parents dropped 100k on a new kitchen, so umm, my new car got put on hold, realistically I'll be in the tC till late 2011 or early 2012, so it's time to have some fun in the mean time.
Trying to find some Tein Basics on the cheap used or grab those racecomps as they seem to fit the bill with the spring rates and height adjustability, the sways front and back will really tighten things up, will do front and rear strut bars too.
I'd love to get some performance alignment goin' on, would really help things out, and maybe check a wreck yard for door cards front and rear and a waterfall if I'm lucky.
Got a lot on my list it seems, most of it is doable on my own with my jack and stands.
The Powerslot BBK has me really interested as it's a great price with a bit better performance, also I'd be able to just paint my stock calipers and get the bbk look behind these 18's, I think for a daily car with no track use and an auto transmission, going with anything bigger would just be a waste.
On the look out for a good price on a Tanabe Concept G and a Fujita CAI too, if anyone has any leads on the exhaust particularly, lemme know, I'd probably put 250 down for it.

Well the big day is here in a matter of minutes.......hoping that many get their Xmas wishes as far as car parts go........the 2010 show season is just around the corner.......
I will be bringing a bit more bling under the hood with a GReddy catch can I got dirt cheap,just gotta repolish it up......then a set of pullys by February........and hoping if every thing goes right a set of brakes........
Had to put wheels on hold another year.....but that just meens more saving and better wheels........lol.
By summer the suede will go away and gonna step up to leather........and interior panels will finally get painted........
Lots of dreams.......what are yours for the new year......

yes i did!!! because its mine and junk....dont take any of the following negatively i'm just saying my opinion.
it's okay if everyone else like's buying things and well keeping them as is. but that's not my bag. i have always wondered why most everyone on this site likes the clean look. not that its bad its just that everyone's cars looks umm the same with different rim choices....
that's stuff makes me sleepy.
but that's their choice. i could always be boring and re-clear the hood but since im not going to sell it....ever. i figured why not just make it mine. like the rest of my car. i don't think there's something on my car i haven't altered or um "improved" if you could call it that.....lol
as a matter of fact i went a completely different direction with this hood. and i think people will be like WTF??? LOL
anyways not to bash people who like cookie cutter stuff but i'm not one of them, and i would in many peoples opinions "trash" or "make mine" a buggati veyron, or a lambo just as bad if i ever got my grubby paws on one so..... lol yeah pray i'm never rich.
plus cf just like fiberglass was intended to be painted. its just a common practice since i the weave looks nice to leave it unpainted. in japan its not uncommon to have a whole cf body and have it painted to look like it isnt there.
in my opinion if you don't own it than all the other people looking at it do and that's a pointless roadblock that other peoples opinions make hindering your progress.
i ain't scared of !@#$ lol.
but no brad i do however understand your confusion.... and yes i am very strange.
and i can be wrong but not about what i like.lol and optional sums what i said up top in such a quick to the point way.....and thanks for the "werds yo"
