Question lost motivation in my fc.

not sure what to do with my fc anymore, was my daily till i moved to fl, pretty much just sits now.

there's nothing i really wanna buy for my car anymore,

was planning on getting some nice coilovers and wheels, but seems like a big waste of money now.

tried selling the car, no decent/shitty offers

been thinking about joining the military, not sure if i wanna or could leave it sitting for that long.

how do you guys stay motivated?

Well,if you are just gonna quit,then sell it and get out while you can!
Put it up on one of the forum sections here,the regional sections.
The least you could do,IF you are calling it quits is to Let someone take it that knows WTF they are doing to it,rather than have a Young Kid Kill it with stickers!
I wish ya luck in the Military,,God Speed.

Why don't you do some competetive driving since you don't care about it anymore.

Sell your fc and buy a camry or an equal variant. Get tired of driving a driving appliance. Then buy another FC.

Go to car shows/meets.. Be the guy who has a fixed up Rx7.
Gotta go to meets with cars of similar build tho *that motivates me to keep mine up and continue it* , dont go to some crap meet and be the only cool car while everyone else surrounds your car and asks you a million questions lol

Car with wheels and coilovers is like night and day compared to stock.

When my car looked like ****, yeah I felt down about it, I didnt want to go on dates etc.. once I knocked out all the rough edges and cleaned it up some, i want to go everywhere with it. Tweaked out all the problems and reliability.

But... if the car feels like it is holding you back, because you worry about it too much etc, then by all means get on with your life, it can always be replaced.. I been feeling that way sometimes about selling mine so I can do other things in life. But once I get behind the wheel of my car, all doubts go out the window. =)

Apparently a lot of users need to change their avatar to a vagina...

Are u guys serious? Molotovman hit the nail on the head; drive your ****! Unless u sell your **** on barret jackson (and some of those cars sell for a loss) building a car just to sell it is stupid. if you would rather build a car than drive it, please get a honda and a D80 and take some mad tight hdr shots. If not; report back after you've owned some corners, completed a hpde, or made it to scca nationals.

So true, my daily is a POS (98 sentra). The longer I go without driving my FC the more I appreciate it when I am able to drive it.

Driving appliance lmao, that just about sums it up.

meets around here are kinda lame, hondas and 240s, iv seen a couple rx7s but they are pretty much stock or beat.

at one point i did have some nice cusco coilovers and was planing to get wheels next, but having a hard time getting up my driveway/ scraping **** wasnt fun/

i think if i see a nice clean fc done right/with legit parts up close, id be willing to step up my game. but for now i dont see really any need to, since i feel like my fc is "complete" as is.
