So I posted some rims on craigslist that have been sitting in my garage from my truck for over a year today, and I am pretty sure i've found a buyer so that's 800 towards my next goody. I've got a few things in mind let me know what you think. Mrev2 to go with my kinetix plenum since its basically worthless without the mrev2, nismo v2 front bumper painted w/o the canards, borla or greddy evo2 catback, one of various undecided about lsd's, or some drop springs and wheel spacers or maybe even coilovers if I'm feeling spendy.

So if anyone knows someone who is selling a used one, I'll entertain the idea of buying it.
If I were home, I'd bring my hoist and stand over for you. Sorry

Assuming everything is good, give everything a good cleaning, install some new piston rings, and hone the cylinders. Can't wait to get back to the states and pick up a project vehicle for myself.

found a local seller selling a borla catback prob part with it for 500 cash. only problem was it was off a g, read up a bit and people said it can work fine but you would have to hack off about 4-5 inches for it to fit right, pretty good deal for it but am pondering if its worth the risk.

Dammit! How come I never see good deals on exhaust systems around here! WTF! Take it!

Who's obsessing about a Z build? lol

I've got Friday off, but I have to be in court first thing in the morning for a ticket we got when one of the goldens got out of the yard. ****'s are penalizing us with a $300 ticket. **** that!

Anyway, I hope I can make it up there and not hit any bad weather.
