Thinkin' about a low-key meet between the days of February 1st and 5th. I'll be home that week and would love to hang out with some friends! It would probably be at In N out burger in Modesto.
live2drive15 you wanna sell some parts off that S4? I could use the y-pipe and stock mufflers if you wanna sell them.

Either one you want $65 bucks.

Yep its me. My GTU blew a coolant seal 20miles from sevenstock. It was epic there was coolant literally jetting out between the middle iron and the housings. I had to park it for the weekend behind some Mexican pizza joint and ride to the show in back of another FC.
Afterwards I had to rent a trailer, and pay my friend gas money to haul it all the way back. As luck would have it the expense put my rent in jeopardy so I had to sell the GTU with all the good parts, wheels, even my spare motor for like two grand.
However when I had more money saved up I bought a 91 FC which I also drifted and tracked until I couldn't afford that one anymore. Later I bought a bridge-ported SP-RX3 Pro Rally car that I did a season of rally-x with before I registered it and drove it on the street. I'd still be driving that car today if I didn't roll it at a drifting competition.
However I kept the RX3's 12A and swapped into an 1st gen RX7 which I modified extensively. I was quite proud of it. It was very fast, the fastest car I've built. ...Didn't handle as good as the GTU though... nothing else ever has lol.
Unfortunately I couldn't keep the 1st gen either. In typical fashion I spent so much money on it (not to mention gas) I ended up homeless couch-surfing for months. I sold it to a foreign gentleman who flew in from out of the country to check it out. He put it on a container and shipped it back home to New Zealand.
More recently I've had a Supra, a BMW, and a Honda which were all fun projects but apparently I have worse luck with piston power. The BMW threw a timing belt, the Honda blew a head-gasket and the Supra... well lets just say I'm ready to build another rotary!
Sorry for the rant btw lol
