My car is currently in ~500 pieces spread across 3 states. Assembly begins shortly and I hope to be running by mid April at the latest. The 5th time has to be the charm right...

Hey everyone. I am down for some city driving. I cant stand cities 99% of the time. To many people and horrible roads. But I did open the garage door three weeks ago for the first time since mid August. I installed my newly calibrated Nismo dash. I am down for an oil change here in about another month or so. Here is my baby that rainy day:


What up Bryce? Alberto sorry to here about your situation. I am so worried for that noise even if its not my own ride. Hope everyone is doing well.

Clean is a double edge sword. I am a total tard because I keep it so clean and never drive it. But I love how it makes me feel when I do get it out!.
When I had the Nismo cluster sent out by the dealership to get the mileage calibrated they seemed dumbfounded that it only has 7400 miles on it. I see other cars on here with that kind of mileage. How many miles on your car Barny?

Cuz it's not about how you drive the car, it's about how you stand next to it!

I have 76K on mine.

The last 17K boosted and it took me 4+yrs to add those miles. I did 30K the first year in it DD'ing it, as I did thru 3 MD winters before modding got too serious.
