not to be mean, but get her running first before you splurge on the pretty stuff... my car is ugly as sin right now (dont let the pic fool you, paint has lots of flaws, the side trim is not in the greatest shape, and the driver's door has some k-nasty rot in it) but Ive got to invest in the importiant things, like the drivetrain... the pretty stuff is cheap and comes later...

now, not to sound like a hypocryte, but I did drop 18 bucks on ebay for a "lot auction" of several parts my interior was missing
thats cool. i think new rims/tires, hood, will freshin up the exterior. plus im not really exactly bothered if people stay my outside looks ugly. i have a really nice interior and enginebay/ soon to be in "engine"

Not to be the *** of the crowd... but I find it ironic that you call that car ugly considering the car in your avatar.

Gee, you must be proud. You have a slow *** car that "looks nice" according to you. I'm sorry that i didn't spend a ****load of money on a paint job.

But i can tell you one thing. Your piece of ****, ricer looking paint job car would NEVER have a chace against me in a race. Looking at your posts, you don't even have a clue about anything to do with engines. You're asking about what intake to buy and you're looking at BBK, LoL. Then someone mentions Kenen Bell and you have no clue what that is.

Be sure to let me know when your piece of **** ricer car can actually do something other than "look pretty." It's the definiton of rice, lol. All look and no function.

And by the way, my "gay" covnertible puts down over 450 HP. That's 450 rear wheel horse power, NOT braking horsepower. Suspension, gears, supercharger, methanol, nitrous, and a ****load of other mods. And every aspect of the comptuer is tuned by me personally. What the **** can your piece of **** do, besides look stupid?

Now, go back to looking for your BK intake. I'm sure the extra 10 or so HP that it will give you will really pin you to your seat, LMAO! Dumbass noob. Well at least it looks fast, right?

Oh and by the way... I'm fairly certain I have more money invested in mods than that car has invested in the paintjob. Now lets place a friendly litle poll up and see what the people would rather have. All te moeny invested in th paintjob or all teh money invested in te engine and supporting mods?

Off the top of my head, not counting the cost of the car itself, there's roughly $8k or so invested in nothing but performance. If someone paid more than that for a paintjob, then tehy'e a ****ing idiot.

i think i had roughly 10k in mods in my old 95GT.

i would rather have a primered a$$ car with a ton of mods then a "pretty car" when i am done with the mods i will paint it then.

Exactly. What's the point of wasting all the money to make it "look" fast when it can't actually go fast? I rememebr your 95 and that was a nice car. I think it would have been a good matchup at the time. But in my defense, i was only pushing about 410 - 420 rwhp then, lol. I've changed the MAF, fuel pump, injectors, ditched the FMU, lost te stock headers, and bought a Tweecer RT since then. So that would ahve given me a slight edge. Still though, it would be fairly close and that's no small feat!

But then again, it's just a gay convertible that doesn't have a pretty paint job. maybe I should sell the power adders and invest in a flashy paint job instead? Maye put some anime characters on ot? Or flames to make it look fast? Then I can get a huge banner over the windshield that says "High Octang!"

i think i would have had the suspension advantage then. IF i still had the car it would have been supercharged by now and had the PROPER heads on it. i dunno though i agree it would have been a NICE race.......maybe with the notch....? take it easy sam
