I think my cars fast, then I do something dumb and go for a ride in my friends Uncles Charger, or friends 400awhp S4. But it only inspires me to make my car faster, Something that will snap my passenger's neck back so hard they're genuinely scared.

In Sept, its been 7 months that mine has been off the road. It sucks. Its not going to be done anytime soon either. My girlfriend and I keep seeing these riced cars and then saying, "If we only had the Supra." :3d_frown:

I do. Don't laugh its a real problem.

My cars feels fast, but then again ive never really been in a "fast" car. Never been in anthing under 14 seconds.

heh. will, my turbo *should* be shipped out by friday, and then comes tuning/boost! i should be near the 400rwhp mark. it's too bad that i'll probably get all dirty working on your car... otherwise i'd bring mine down instead of my truck. ;)

edit: i work on my car when i have downtime. i was working outside in 0* weather once, that's actually when i finished my swap the first time. it was mid december, and during one of those super-cold periods that we had. my fingers were numb, my toes were non-existent, my nose looked like rudolph the red nosed, and i fired it up for the first time after swapping engine harnesses. (had the wrong one in)

let me tell you, the first time it roared to life, running open BIC ddp, i was f'ing ecstatic! all that numbness went away. it was far from drivable, but that made it all worth it. i've been 100% hooked ever since!

last summer, i didn't get to drive the car once. not a single time. it was down for 8 or 9 months or something crazy like that. i had the motor out, i cleaned the engine bay, replaced hoses/pipes, gutted the interior, only to replace it a few weeks later, albeit, much more clean. i ordered lots of parts, many of which went into the buildup.

heh, i still have over $2k worth of upgrades in my bedroom... i should get on that!
