I'll be taking the car to Dave this Saturday and he can fix everything so I'll be back up. Once everything is working, I'm seriously considering selling the Z and moving to a different car.

Same here. I'm seriously thinking about moving to a FD. I'm used to have a car that doesn't always run anyway. Why not get the car that I really like?

I love the hobby, and love the car. But I have reached the limit of how far I can go with this setup. With the small turbos it will only reach a certain power level, even with a built engine. To go further I'll need a engine mods, different turbos, injectors, fuel system and so on..... $$$

I might as well get a different platform and mod from there.

4. Stand around and look cool infront of your car, arms crossed and have that "i'm a badass" look on your face.
5. watch ricers gather around your car to check out that enormous FMIC and say you got at least 100 grand invested under that hood... but don't pop the hood, let em "find out the hard way."
6. Go to Juan's house for beers, smokes, and XBox 360

Sat.
1. Meet at the wash
2. Cruise to local bar/club
3. Bust out some hardcore game n open up a minimum of 5 sets and get at least 3 numbers... but never call them back because you're just that hardcore.
4. Go online and make a thread on my350z.com telling every1 about the adventure + post up pics and stories of how much of a badazz you are + running from cops + pulling mad game.

Disclaimer: must be 21+, know how to handle yourself in the twisties, have mad game (otherwise u're gonna be that creepy dude staring at everyone on the dance floor) and is perfectly capable of outrunning a squad car.

I'll have to update you guys on last week's adventure!!! Oh boy..

06' Old Timer's Update:
Ethan is okay because his gf is a ricer too.
Ted is down to come out, in fact he came out last weekend.
Zain is back in town, so he has no excuse
Juan is Single Again!!! So he's always down to cruise as long as it's up in Rockville.
Umar has a nice ball and chain attached to his ankle, I dunno about that... someone give him crap for this please.
And both my cars are out... (for now) so I'm going to be the navigator riding shotgun
I just LOL'ed for this old post from Anh.
