Thoughts, Ramblings and A Little Piece of My Soul.

Friday, January 25, 2002

I found some dude that parks at my subway station.. drives a Eagle Talon ESi. I left him a note on his car and he replied back.. hopefully I can draw him into the import mods scene. Man, and I don't even get paid to do this.

I'm still in my denial phase about never possibly having enough money to afford a turbo for my car. Sure, it sounds nice.. but realistically, my wallet says no.

Not only am i going to blow a wad (of cash) when i go to england, but a month after that, I'll be moving back to philly. My rent per month is going to be $415 since i'm now in one of the big rooms and three months rent is due up front. On top of that, I'll have to spend money on basic nessecities in the house, but you can read yesterdays post for those details.

So what does my car need that I'll probably never get?

First, Basic "Necessaties":
B&M Short Shifter ~$200 - Freakin stock shifters are ugly, and I don't want to just cut it.. that's too ghetto in my opinion.
Spark plugs and wires $100 - Can't go wrong getting some specifically sports tuned ignition parts.. should help out alot.
Bored Throttle Body ~$150-200 - Getting someone's extra TB, and then going to send it off to be bored.
Big Brake upgrade and good brakepads ~500 - driving fast equals the need to brake faster.
Second set of rims ~400-800 - I'll probably get a set of stock rims or something, for the track and for winter time.
Get Coilovers and shocks/struts. 700 bucks for the normal setup... but me, i want to get true coilovers that'll cost me 1200.. And actually, that might happen by june.

So turbo money? yea right.

Now things that I MIGHT get depending on the situation and pricing:

Carbon Fiber Wing.
Carbon Fiber Hood.
Carbon Fiber Dash kit.
Smoked Taillights.
HID conversion for headlights.
Aftermarket Head Unit for audio stuff.
Some nice speakers.
Wireloom kit.
Maybe some polished header for show value if i can find it cheap and/or used.

Damn it, all i have to do now is win the lottery... or rob a bank.. either way, at least i can complete my goals.
