I was just thinking that !
First off
Had a SERIOUS Scare the other night ****** car almost burned down !!!!!!
Small leak on the oil feed line on turbo leaked on to my turbo blanket and set it on fire !!!
Happend right when i puled into my garage. Damn that was scary. it was small enough for me to literally blow it out. SO IM GONNA BE DRIVING AROUND WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER FOR NOW ON.
i have wanted to put a wish list of things that i wanna get done with for some time.
Wish list:
Replace interior HA !
FIX FENDERS IT'S BEEN WAY TO LONG.
Shine Auto FEED sides.
Get my 99spec shipped out from FDmuri soon since we finished that case ! which btw im really excited about.
get a diffuser of some sort.
replace the center console ( it old and coming apart for some reason.)
Fix my rear view mirror it broke off.
Pick up my FC leading coil from my buddy.
Need an oil press gauge. i think the stock on on the FD is going bad.
Water injection
last and not least. RE tune the FD
Their is a list of things that i need to get done but meh i will post that later. haha

So stopped by my local shop on black Friday and got some turn signals for the front bumper. should be in on monday. Kinda wish i got the black ones or smoked.... but for 100 bucks Why not ?
Maybe i can get them smoked or tinted to hing the chrome. and out of all honest they don't look that bad.

i did check Ebay i was being im patient honestly. However those are Origin turning lamps. marked down from 290.00 so either way if i decide to sell them i can make a bit of cash i guess.

Well some quick updates.
got the turn signals on REALLY REALLY wanna smoke them.

since i can remember i have been having this dip stick problem where when under boost the damn thing would pop up ! BLAH oil all over the drive side of the motor. Well like an idiot i have been ignoring it..... figured it had to be something small.
So i decided to do a quick search on the forum and found out i need a new PCV or PVC ? so i guess i will be replacing that......
Which brings me to this. This year has been one expensive year for the FD.
New power FC 800.00
New turbo 500.00
about 6 oil changes. 200.00 all done by me of course.
turn signal for the 99spec front bumper 100
new shift **** 20.00
new fuel pump 90.00
silly supplies and all kinds of dumb **** 125.00.
MSD 6a box that crapped out on me 115.00
HKS Twin spark w/harness that doesn't feel as good as the MSD 6a box 400.00
New coil's 50.00
New plug's about 150.00 bucks worth.
new CAS 50.00 i think ?
New Igniter 50.00
bought new parts for my tail V44 and got the ****** to work 90.00
AND WHO KNOWS THE **** ELSE
DAMN THIS CAR DAMN THIS CAR STRAIGHT TO HELL
....i still love it though.....
