I hate this car, my CC and bank love it...

I recall when I bought the Stealth that I said it was fast enough and that I would leave it alone until I was finished with the GTC.

No dice, it never works that way. Us gear heads can never leave well enough alone.

I was present when he said that!

But there is one sure fire way to make sure you never mod anything on your car... Get married, have a kid, go to school and live off grants and a $500 a month job. But I still feel wanting... Something is missing inside...

Jeez, grow a sense of humor.

I remember I bought all the parts for my Eclipse, then I sold them because I wanted to get rid of it last year. Then I decided to keep it. Bought all the parts again: new turbo, fmic, injectors, dp, fpr, fuel pump, all the fixens. Then I traded it for a truck and a 4 wheeler, and just gave them the parts for the truck.

Had it all to do what I want, but just never did it. Kinda dumb when I think about it...

[Gotian]

I do have a sense of humor, its just that is how it starts then it gets out of hand then threads are closed and then you guys wonder why we dont have any good conversation threads that last 3 or 4 pages.

You are the only one that gets me, lol. I just think Gotian is emo right now. Cheer up emo kid, life gets better. Of course, I can't really talk, I do wear Chucks.

No worries Gotain, just roll and LOL it. Its all just fun and games. The RX7 guys make fun of us for being FWD and slow. We make fun of them for blowing up all the time. We make fun of the RX8 guys for being slow, they make fun of us for being front drivers.

In our mostly Mazda3 club, all of us Speed3ers make fun of the regular 3ers for lack of a turbo. They really don't have anything to come back at us, though. They just kinda say yeah, your right.

I know what you mean. I had all this shit sitting in my closet that I was gonna put on the BMW. Then I was like...fuck it, I'm just gonna get a faster car. I ended up giving half the shit away because the E46 325i doesn't exactly have a massive demand for aftermarket parts. Now I'm like...I shoulda sold all of it so I can buy more go fast bits.

Threads don't get ruined if you can roll with the jokes around here. Most of us have been a pretty knit tight group here and have all came to understand each others sense of humor.

Most threads that go out of hand, are usually because one guy doesn't know when people are joking and retaliates in all seriousness. You know people enough on these boards, so you should know. It was a joke, so just roll with it...

Now all this talking about our vehicles makes me wish I had the Eclipse back for some racing. Haven't raced in over a year and a half. But, something else will replace that yearning for the Eclipse.

dooooo eeeetttt! i know you want to sooo bad. how about put the money into coins. im dead serious. i do that now so i dont spend it with the card or anything. put it into roll of quarters, and get a safe or something, and put the quarters in there. its not like when you want 10 bucks you are going to get the roll, then go to the bank to get a 10 dollar bill to look cool when you spend it. its too much work.

speaking of which, im trying so hard not to spend any cash right now, as i wanna make a run for panama city in like 2 1/2 weeks for spring break.

I'm actually looking at picking up a lightly used stock turbo, and just having it ported+bigger wheel. I could probably swing all of that for under five hundred with some good connections. The one thing keeping me from spending to much money is the fact that I am absolutely NOT going to screw with the boost or turbo settings till there is a dedicated tuning solution available. Its that simple. Everyone is saying this 3071 is a directo bolt. I don't care, 15 pounds of boost through a 3071 is a bit different than through a K04.

On the other hand, I am picking up a new noise maker today, and good chance I'll be going out the strip tonight. First time down the 1/4, wahoo! I'm looking for low 14s, high 13s on nothing more than dumb luck and pure will power, lol.
