I'm convinced Steve just doesn't want to stop working on his car. It was getting close to his original goal of becoming a streetable race car and the end of the tunnel was just too close. So he decided he wanted a luxury DSM with 600whp. In a year or so, he'll be turning it into a rally car. :P

That really is kinda how it goes. If it were spring, I would say you should bring that thing to track to see what it will do! Seeing as how it's nearly winter, good luck with the Lexus GSX!

Well, I had a 2G that I was going to just fart around with and have a nice stereo in, but after driving it a bit, I remembered I don't really like 2G's, so I sold it. THe idea of having this car be more streetable just made sense after having problems with it at the shootout. I would rather drive it to the track and home of course, instead of also having to have a full trailer and tow rig. I miss the old days of just airing up the tires and heading home.

I've already ditched the only parts my car will lose.Power steering, and ac. Sometimes I regret ditching the ps, but for the most part it's not too bad. Parking lots blow ass though.

Wishful thinking? Dreaming? :)

never. I won't put all the work into it, just to turn around and reverse that. I keep going forward, not reverse. I'll just buy another car as a DD, but until then..this is it!

Having a running car, and then one on jack stands is reverse... ;)

Scheides is probably right. :P

I did tell Swifty when he gets close to my age if he still has the car, he'll be doing the same thing as me. It's hard to predict your life at 22. At that age I was driving a 1984 Trans Am thinking I was pretty cool. :loser:

nothing wrong with the 80's. Or anything that came out of them.

You might want to re-think that statement.

Ha, they were actually out of the 70's, but they made it relatively big in the 80's. Hard to believe they weren't just a first album one-hit wonder. :nod:

I am just realizing that I've gone to far with my car, so now its a dedicated drag car.

And I'll by something nice like a 08 lancer or a late 90's, early 00's 3 series bmw to drive around next year.

I almost got to that point too, luckily I was doing it in stages so I caught it before it was too late. Steve and I are pretty much on the same page now, he just has money to put in his car, unlike me right now :D

I have to go for a ride when you are done Steve, I want to see how it turns out!
