I'll just shack up with anything that gets me going and I never make a commitment. I should be ashamed of myself. If u got the money go for a Nissan skyline Or a 240sx if u want a quick n decent run around go for Mazda mx5. although I think it's a miata for you lot. they all fun cars. and the mx5 can be slammed beautifully especially when it's all black. He can't get a Skyline in the states  U being serious? hmmm I think that is 1 car worth importing tbh lol he should jus go all out and get a Nissan Godzilla lol --------------------  "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

I won't be slamming any of my cars, I'm a function over form kind of guy.
Well, we can get the ones that're older than 25 years old. That and there's some kind of loophole to get some of the newer ones. If I had that kind of free money I'd just buy a new Corvette.

Box, get a Miata and Trubo it.
Also, yesterday I got my rear coils and braided lines in, Coils were simple, and came preloded at almost the exact height I wanted and removing the brakes lines was easy (I used a flared nut wrench as recommended and it actually is one of the only parts on the cars underside that hasn't started to corrode the bolts together) The only issue I faced is that the braided lines seem to be bending in weird ways, not to badly and I doubt it will affect anything, but the stock lines just didn't seem to bend as much... Just thought I should throw it up here with a photo just in case I have done something wrong:   The later that night I went to my friend's 21st birthday where his sister made this cake:

I'm looking for one.
 Also threw in the old 280Z(X) since I like them, can get vintage tags and all kinds of fun stuff. Is the cake modeled after his car? This post has been edited by Box: Jun 7, 2014 - 9:09 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Just thought they may have been curled/wrapped around. I dont think mine are bad. As long as its not kinked or rubbing on something you should be fine.
Have you put the front in & tired them out yet? -------------------- |

Have you put the front in & tired them out yet? Havn't put the fronts in yet, but the car is actually currently drivable lol... I have the rear complete and the front with springs and old lines. Going to be starting the front tomorrow as today was a recovery day from the 21st last night >.< haha -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

You've shamed me.
If you ever come to the states or I'm ever in Australia you'll have to buy me drinks. Don't hold out on me making it to Australia though, not until all of the ginormous spiders from Hell have been killed off anyway.Random side note, trying to search for seven different cars in eleven different cities three or more times a day is a real pain in the ass. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

yesterday i opened up my package and smiled.
Today i saw my package, i smiled, and then giggled like a 4 year old boy with a bag of forbidden candy... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
