I hate this site...

It consumes all my free time. I'm constantly looking for good deals in the private classified section; HFC, exhaust, pulley, plenum, mrev, FI, coilovers, rims, sways, and things I would have never even considered before searching through this forum . Furthermore, I have already mentally spent $45-$60k in building my dream car modeled off of many of the member cars.

So I just wanted to give everyone a special fvck you very much, I have officially become an addict of HP, TQ, aesthetics, and now that I'm a premium member, quite possibly ****.

I look forward to sharing the pains of budgeting and the joys of g-forces with you as my build commences.

i cant see how you got to $45-60k. at most from your mod list maybe $25k with a kit and custom paint job. hell for 60k id just buy a used gtr or something.

I figured it'd be better than posting " What mods should I get?" thread.

Well I figured since my engine has 90k on it (all freeway miles) and still in love with my car, I might as well buy a new engine bore it, pistons, valves, sleeves, cams, FI, injectors, water/meth. Right there I'm already about 15k easily. Wheels another 4. Coils another 2.5. Then the support to back up all that power, brakes, axels, and sways.

Ok I might have embellished a bit with the OP but if I'm going to dream, might as well dream big.

Very nice wheels but not in the market for wheels just yet, GLWS.

I am however interested in one of your grounding kits, I've heard good things. From what I've read it increases throttle response and smoother shifting for AT but I'm not too familiar with what they can do for MT. Any advice?

I have it bad and I don't think I'm going to be cured any time soon. I don't mind though, just means I'll have a beast sitting in my garage just waiting to be unleashed.

I plan on going to a few meets when they pop up around my area. It'd be good to meet some G owners with the same mindset and possibly someone to help with installs on the weekends, brew provided of course.

Haha too late I'm already doing it. But my phone is about 3 years old and slow as ****, so it minimizes my use.

Well said.

I have determined that this site has led me to my midlife crisis. It's lasted 2 years and just keeps getting worse. Every time I think to myself "I'm done" a new mod pops up I "have to" have.

Your not too far from Qualcomm Stadium, "RACE LEGAL"

GL with the mods, just remember to forget how much money you will eventually spend/spent on the car and you'll feel better.
