I know I'm looking for fire from the purist now. I just want to see more really creative mods. Shaved and body kit styling from 1st gen lovers. Also I want to be able to just throw my BMX bikes in the back and go

I'm dreaming of creating a wood grain interior. I sold the xxr 522's cause I didn't want to run wheel adapters. Got a set of rare Western Wheel Div. mesh. Cars coming along as fast as time and money allow. Thanks for posting on the thread

More power than a stock nikki delivers, with a decent idle and better mileage than a big block K2500.

I dream of finally getting the new Kirkey seat mounted once I fix the rusted out factory mounts so I can drive the damn thing. Been parked for a year now

My big dream, IMSA flares out back, and a screaming NA 20B up front. I wonder how hard it would be to use my 13B as a basis. Do people even sell 20B parts separately? Hmmm

I literally dreamed this last night. I have dreams on a regular basis where I will be trying to do something but can't, for instance:

Having a dream where I am trying to yell at someone in the distance but no sound comes out even though I am screaming my lungs out, or I am trying to run towards something and my legs are like concrete blocks and I can't move them.

Well last night I had a 3-rotor in my FB and it's sounding amazing as I rev it. I drop the clutch and floor it and nothing. The car revs and revs under load but goes nowhere. I woke up in a sweat and had to shower it got so intense. WTF.

Along these lines...I have several spare hoods that Id like to design my own vent pattern on, and outsource the cutting to someone more skilled than myself. There are several tasty hoods ive seen overseas, but the cost of importation on top of the cost of the hood makes it hard to justify.

I also dreamt that it was after sept 28th, so I could start the bodywork and paint on the rest of my car.
