I'm gonna have to learn some photography and get a nice camera when my R32 gets here. Those are some nice pictures

Been trying to look for carbon fiber interior parts for it and I've had very little luck so far, I really want a dash replacement and door cards replacement in carbon
median basalt
Thanks, I'll make sure to. I hope I'd be able to do the R32 justice once it's finished
The carbon fiber body in the sun will look so good, I'm very excited
hybrid charm
@median basalt Sick R32 is that yours I'm currently working on engine swapping my four door R33
median basalt
It's not mine yet. I'm going to be importing my R32 later this week then I'm ordering that full carbon fiber body kit as well
Planning on getting a bigger turbo kit as well and I'm going to get some wheels
I think in the spring I'm going to get a supra as well because I really want a supra with a big turbo kit
tranquil moon
ok guys im a complete idiot in vehicles and im curious
lets ask if you would buy yourself like a... BMW 36
would u buy a completely factory new bran one
or like one from year 2001
median basalt
I'd probably get one from 2001 because I really like that car a lot
tranquil moon
but why not factory new 2020 one
kind osprey
median basalt
I just like the older one because I'd be able to modify it
I think they go for like what? 20k?
kind osprey
@tranquil moon Do you mean 36 as the generation, like e36?
tranquil moon
yeah yeha
median basalt
So I could put like 10k in mods and make it dope
tranquil moon
i know little bout cars
median basalt
and it's still not that expensive of a car
kind osprey
cursed image of a 2020 e36

or old 2001 one
kind osprey
look at that grille

It doesn't fit there with the new ones either lol
median basalt
If I were to get a BMW it'd have to be an M2 competition
kind osprey
the 2021 four series looks weird af
median basalt
I almost got one a couple months ago
kind osprey
the m2 looks really nice, compared to the m4 is isn't much different either
median basalt
I just wanted it because it seemed like I'd be a nice manual to have
Found a nice spec one for around 60k too
tranquil moon
why people just wont buy lambotghinis, they are fast and beatufiul
median basalt
because they are quarter million to half million dollar cars
tranquil moon
save up
median basalt
I mean I could afford to get one with financing but like
kind osprey
I love the Lamborghini's and Ferrari's of the world but they are a fortune. Most people who want fast, reliable and affordable go to jdm or little dinky Euro cars
median basalt
The payments would be the same as my house
kind osprey
like Lotus
tranquil moon
my dad once went to the france and promised he'd come back to my country with a lambo
well my grandmother had to pay 50$ for him to come back in a bus
kind osprey
I could probably afford a Lamborghini Huracan but it would be with 144 month financing and zI wouldn't have anything left for gas 
median basalt
Right now I have the JDM bug so I'm getting the R32 then the Supra later on
but if I'm getting a car in that price range I'm getting either a newer R8 or a 458
heady swift
there's also the issue with maintenance and insurance. Even if you'd save up 15 years you most likely wouldn't be able to afford the extra costs
median basalt
The R8 is just a cheaper and more practical huracan
heady swift
they're also super unreliable and not fit for everyday use
tranquil moon
i wanna buy a tesla, cus i dont wanan drive, either a auto drive tesla or a taxi or something idk
median basalt
Yeah the costs would pile up quick
kind osprey
@tranquil moon It comes down to priorities because I base it off of "If I can't buy ten of these outright, I won't get it" because instead of a Lamborghini which stays or even depreciates in value, you could get a down payment on a house and start getting into real estate, or funding a marginal account and invest in stocks
median basalt
I've thought about getting a model 3 but the only charger around me would have to be in my garage haha
kind osprey
People should only buy $200,000 luxury cars when they can treat it like buying a snickers bar

if you're spending a fortune on a car it might as well be one that's worth something in 10 or 20 years
tranquil moon
ok im jsut a teenie, it was satire
heady swift
actual JDM cars and cars like the z8 are great examples
median basalt
If I'm spending 200k on a car you better believe I'm going to make sure I can buy 2 in cash before I get such an expensive depreciating asset

I'll get a Huracan when i have $2,500,000 in my TD account. Other than that i'll maybe rent one or take one on a track day once or twice a year

Garrett

Yea Garrett's are nice
median basalt
I found a website that sells a full turbo kit for the rb26
I just started putting together a price list so I can have an idea what he total for this car will be
kind osprey
I would be surprised if you pull all of this off for under $100,000
median basalt
so far I'm at $81,500
kind osprey
with or without the carbon
median basalt
But that's with the car, kit, wheels and the turbo kit
kind osprey
ah
median basalt
I'm going to see if I can find a place that will custom make carbon fiber interior panels though
then I've still got steering wheels and seats to find as well
The kit costs a bit more than the car too though so that jacks the price up like crazy
median basalt
This one is 1992
kind osprey
nice
median basalt
tbh if I wasn't set on the carbon kit this would be a perfect car where I just have to change the wheels and add the turbo
It's a nice blue
got a rebuilt engine too
heady swift
maybe add some additional chassis stiffening

I could only assume this is right hand drive, so when you get this you have to do the legendary stunt of going through the Drive Thru in reverse to pick up the food

heady swift
you're lucky nissan implemented the heritage programme
kind osprey
what does that do
heady swift
they're building spare parts for older nissan vehicles again
median basalt
ohhh
heady swift
including the r32, r33 and r34
kind osprey
Oh that is awesome
median basalt
that's going to be a big help I'd imagine
kind osprey
I love when companies do that
heady swift
imagine the costs of spare parts and insurance without that programme
median basalt
I can't wait until S15s are legal
I'm literally buying one as soon as they do, I really like that car a lot

A company could make a weird ass back window for a car back in 1988 then if you get one and break it now imagine finding that specific window lol

Yeah
I've thought about a 240sx as well
Some of the builds I've seen on that car are so nice
never really looked into them because I've been set on getting an R32 and a supra

The Supra's gonna be a fortune

median basalt
Haha, I'm getting kinda railed by TSLA and AAPL rn tbh
Took a riskier position because I was confident and so far it's not paying off. Still got the rest of the week though
kind osprey
I heard something about a report on Tesla, something about new batteries
median basalt
Yeah battery day is Sept 22nd
I'm not entirely sure what my budget will be for the supra though but I want to make it pretty fast and nuts
neighbors are gonna hate me though
Good thing I'm moving next year though
kind osprey
I see so many making like 1000 horsepower here 1400 horsepower there, tbh That just seems so expensive and unpractical. You'll never be able to use all that power unless you have a death wish and like getting arrested for reckless driving, and in order to squeeze that much out of it there is a lot of parts time and money involved
I would probably make mine have like 600-800
median basalt
Yeah, I was thinking somewhere around 600 or 700
I'm wanting my R32 to be around 500
kind osprey
That's pretty good for that car
heady swift
I wouldn't even go above 400 unless it's a track car. Our infrastructure is bike-focused and the government has made sure you can't really speed anywhere without hitting a tree
kind osprey

median basalt
Where do you live?
heady swift
the Netherlands
median basalt
Oh wow
That sucks, I live with lots of long straight roads around me because of all the corn fields so you can go decently fast when there's no traffic around
I don't do anything reckless but I make sure to slow down when I see a car on the road
kind osprey
I'm in New York so I would probably have to go an hour upstate to really rip any car to its full potential
median basalt
I'm in Michigan where's it's just really flat and not a whole lot unless you're in a city
I'm like a 15 min highway trip from a city and it's pretty quiet around me
heady swift
how much is petrol where you live?
kind osprey
I often wanna go somewhere where it is quieter and more down to earth, being able to see stars and have a big yard
median basalt
Like 2 dollars a gallon for regular right now
kind osprey
i've been in the city my whole life
heady swift
jesus 2 dollars for one gallon?
median basalt
yeah
kind osprey
the only place where gas can get costly is crowded LA areas, and even then that is like 4-5 dollars a gallon
median basalt
that's ridiculous
heady swift
Here it's 1.70 euro's for one litre. So roughly 4.5 dollar's per gallon
median basalt
wow
kind osprey
Yea i heard some of the worst places in Europe for gas can be up to $13 a gallon
heady swift
well not 13
kind osprey
when converted from litres
median basalt
what the hell
kind osprey
maybe
heady swift
(E10)
even switzerland is cheaper wtf
I looked at the charts, we're currently the most expensive
kind osprey
It already costs like $58 a week to fill the car i drive now so in the Netherlands it would be more than payment for the car
median basalt
man that just sounds bad
I've never been to Europe but I do want to go to the next Monaco GP

Some places in Europe and other areas make it almost impossible to have a car unless you are rich
the tax is ridiculous
It could cost $70,000 to get a Toyota Camry

Going to be honest though I am kinda interested in the Z06 C8 corvette
I want to wait and see the full specs of the car and how good it is but it seems like a pretty good car

Mid engine (finally), rwd, and good power
for the price it sells at it'll probably go off the lot like hot cakes
median basalt
I've seen a clip of it accelerating and it sounds pretty good
I'd have to see how much a full spec one would cost but if it's anywhere around 130 I'd rather get an R8 tbh
median basalt
yeah, the ones I've looked at around me are 2017 models and they are around 140k
I think 150k is the most I'd be comfortable with
Because insurance and everything with the R8 the total cost would probably be around 3k a month maybe 4
kind osprey
dam
median basalt
Actually never mind, it's actually one of the cheapest to insure. I know I could finance one for around 2k a month though
makes it a bit tempting

median basalt
I am really looking forward to the tesla roadster though whenever that ends up getting to production
Finally even on the week now so hopefully tomorrow and friday I can make some money to make me feel a bit better about how much this R32 is gonna cost
median basalt
That would be insane
I've been in a model s P100D and that was the craziest acceleration I've felt before
median basalt
I'm not entirely sure what model of roadster I'd get. The normal one or the founder's edition
I just want to see an actual pre production or production car though before I put money on a roadster
kind osprey
What did the founder edition include?
median basalt
tbh idk
kind osprey
I know it was like $50,000 more
median basalt
I just know that the down payment is like 50k I think
raven dock
median basalt
I can't remember but maybe the normal is 50k and the founders you have to pay the full 250k instead
kind osprey
yea the founders was a full reservation of the price of the car
median basalt
ah yeah
raven dock
And this is concept one not the second
median basalt
I'm not ready to part with that amount of money for a car that won't come out in a few years
raven dock
When’s the tesla roadster coming out
kind osprey
I would buy the La ferrari over the rimac just because of how Beautiful the La Ferrari is and its heritage
raven dock
Wasn’t it 2020

the difference on 0-60 and top speed would be irrelevant to me
raven dock
Yea i mean la ferrari is just legendary

The first roadsters will probably be next year if not 2022

tbh if I had $3.5M to spend on a car it'd be a chiron

Why did they change date

@raven dock When you make $12,000,000 a month life is a video game

I'm going to start getting a spreadsheet together of everything for my supra too

yeah they really do
I think bugatti does a good job as well
I really want to get a ton of 1:18 scale models of cars to put on display in my new house
get like a few bugatti's, koenigseggs, paganis, ferrari and laborghini
like all those cars

Doug DeMuro had a video where he showed a model car company that made a 1:18 exact replica of his car down to the bumper stickers, extra features, license plate etc
It was insanely accurate

that's pretty awesome

Probably over $1000 though

Yea since they suck and never innovate, they can be found for great prices
they are basically good looking overpriced Chryslers with a v8 and better driving experience
median basalt
yup
I'll have to see when I move though but I do kinda want to get a model 3 or a model s
I'd have to test drive a model 3 though because idk about that screen being off to the side with everything on it
kind osprey
The model three is probably your best bet, because it is much cheaper and still really good all around, especially if you get a long range or performance model.
Yea the mph and all that off to the side could be annoying but idk if it is something that I could get used to or not
after a bit I probably could
median basalt
I do know though that if I get a model 3 I'm replacing that wood panel across the dash with a carbon fiber one because that wood does not do it for me
kind osprey
I do with they added a little screen infront of the wheel or one of those projectors that tell you your speed
like in Hondas or Mazdas
The performance model I think has a carbon option for those panels, i'm not sure though
median basalt
Yeah, I'll try one but if I don't really care for it I'll probably get a model s
I do really want to see if I can get the solar roof and the power wall for my house when I move though
Pretty expensive up front but I think it'll be worth it
kind osprey
Is a solar roof an option now or is that something another company makes for the car
median basalt
ah no, I mean the solar roof tesla offers for homes
median basalt
so like if I've got that having a tesla as well would be cool
kind osprey
the first guy to do it I think it was like $100,000 for his roof
median basalt
I think I checked and for the square footage I'm getting I was quoted at like 50k

@potent wedge They are both really good, and really expensive. Porsche has always focused on driving experience so if you are buying anything they make that is their priority and it shows. They make great stuff for their steep prices. Same with Lamborghini but with Lamborghini you get very unique options, and customization. Even if some don't consider the Urus a real Lamborghini that is just bs from butthurt people who don't know how to keep a company afloat. For a fat heavy four (I think five maybe) seater, that thing handles really well, stops very well, and the speed is insane.
Overall you get what you pay for, the Urus definitely costs more

Really debating just reserving a roadster instead of getting a tesla soon
I think that's probably what I'll do
heady swift
Why do you want a tesla?
median basalt
Because it's made me a lot of money this year, kinda want to see how good they really are. I've only ever been in a model s for a little bit
kind osprey
The roadster looks pretty nice, comes off as fairly practical for a sporty 2+2 seat car, and has all the right numbers. The price is just the icing on the cake.
however I have one concern, will the car feel as fun as something like a Huracan, or an Ariel Atom, or a Ferrari
median basalt
Yeah I'm not too sure tbh
kind osprey
cars with such prestige and beautiful looks will still be strong in a market full of roadsters
median basalt
I think I'm going to place my reservation after market closes today
kind osprey
because the roadster is awd and probably a car that drives you rather than you driving it
median basalt
Yeah, that acceleration is going to be insane
kind osprey
not literally as in the autopilot, but moreso how everything will be monitored and you can screw up and you won't even notice it
kinda of like some modern supercars of today
It makes them safer and fun to drive but some people like it when a car needs a good driver to be able to tame it
median basalt
I can't wait to feel the acceleration though
Not going to get the founders series though because that's just too much money to put out all at once
median basalt
Haha that would be pretty funny
10 mins until market close then I'll start the reservation for it
okay never mind I couldn't wait
heady swift
reminds a bit of the 2005 eclipse concept car
heady swift
yeah the wheels look great
are you ordering it in that colour or do you have to configure it yet?
median basalt
There's no configurator
heady swift
oh
median basalt
You just reserve it then I'm assuming once there's production then they will let you configure it
I'll get a different color though because I feel like a lot of people will get red
I think as it gets closer to becoming a thing I might upgrade my reservation to a founders edition one if that's possible
misty cipher
I wanna take a Tesla and put a real engine in it
median basalt
That would be interesting
misty cipher
Elon musk will be quaking
median basalt
I hope the roadster comes 2022 at least lol
misty cipher
Hm
median basalt
alright, I've gotten my tesla bug itched now I can get back to JDM stuff haha
grand herald
This guy just order that electric beast and i cant even get a good car in gta
feels bad
median basalt
you'll get there sometime man don't worry
median basalt
gonna have to get the R32 next week because I'm gonna have to use most of the money I moved over for it on this wire transfer today
kind osprey
I soon hope to be at the point of trading where I can casually buy two or three cars in the span of a months profit
I gotta keep learning
median basalt
Tbh it does help to have a good sized day trading account and I can consistently get about 5-10% a day on green days but also on the flip side I can do the same on red days
I just get about 1-2 red days a week usually
Plus this month has been very much an outlier, like it's just been crazy so that's why I'm fine with spending all this money
but if you've got questions about trading feel free to DM me and I'll see how I can help
kind osprey
Sure thing, I know barely anything about options so when I can feel comfortable getting into those I'll let you know 
I'm up about 2% this week
median basalt
Yeah I wouldn't get into options until you know and understand them completely so you know what you're doing
I think I'm up around 10-15% this week right now because I was red for monday and tuesday
kind osprey
Nice, it's always good to end the week on a green note
median basalt
Yeah, hoping I'll be able to keep it going the next 2 days
Today was a bit of a rollercoaster holding TSLA
Especially because my contracts expire 9/4 but I'm selling them tomorrow to get into longer dated ones for the split
kind osprey
I decided to get in because all I saw was it going up, I'm up 3% on that so far
Now that it is at 2240
median basalt
looking at october expirations
Especially with TSLA because I'm probably going to hold through to battery day
kind osprey
I wonder if that will be for the new generation model s and x's batteries
Because they kinda stopped caring about the high end models for a bit
median basalt
Yeah, I imagine it will. I don't know a ton about it just that it's going to be big
and I plan to get a big position in TSLA for it
I can see if I can find the videos I used for learning options as well so you'll be able to learn them when you're ready. I'd just take it slow with them at the start though
kind osprey
Thanks, that would be awesome! Yea My plan is to continue some paper trading in the background to keep experimenting and continue funding my live account for the times I feel ready to use that
i'll be looking into options soon because they are starting to interest me
median basalt
Yeah with options I'd highly recommend paper trading, also there's tons of strategies with options to limit risk and everything
I originally was trading shares then I met someone getting much higher returns than I was with trading the underlying so I got into them and spent about a week to understand and learn about them, but it's a lot more fun than shares
kind osprey
Yea from watching videos and reading up on them, they generally do look more exciting than simply buying or shorting a stock, and creating a good strategy to plan and execute is half of the excitement
So with options I feel they are more options
no pun intended
median basalt
yup, I just like being able to get 5-10% each day with relatively lower risk. At least for me because some of my plays I'll hold through red days which can be about the same or more
I've gotten a lot more used to losing money with options though haha
I should say being down, because it's only really a loss when you sell
kind osprey
that is true
red never feels good but as long as it doesn't reach my stop loss I like to breathe and take a break. When I am patient it usually ends up greener than ever
median basalt
Today was crazy though, I was up over 30% today then I was down like 25% and I ended today at like 8% haha
I don't usually set stop losses because I don't want it to sell out of my control
Had a bit under half my day trading account in TSLA calls that I bought yesterday
median basalt
found a website to choose colors on the roadster to see how it looks and I gotta say, I'm loving this
might do that for mine
median basalt
I'm also still deciding on doing a dark metallic gray or a white for my supra as well
kind osprey
That color on the roadster looks nice, the roadster is very curvy and subtle, most people would barely notice it which is a good thing imo
median basalt
Yup, I'm thinking of doing a similar color on my supra once I get that in the spring as well
median basalt
I'm sold, I'm getting one https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-chevrolet-corvette-z06-engine/
kind osprey
that wing looks very... excessive
median basalt
That's not the actual look of the car
median basalt
But a 9k rpm v8?
kind osprey
That sounds hot
heady swift
5.5 Litres seems a bit big
median basalt
A twin turbo R8 would be so much fun too
kind osprey
You're gonna need a bigger garage with all these cars
median basalt
Yeah
I'm moving next year and I plan to have at least a 3 car garage like I have now and like 8 parking spaces
kind osprey
If you want an extra source of income become a car youtuber out of nowhere and just make videos on the process of your vehicles
median basalt
if I have enough room and I'm allowed to I might have a garage built to fit all the cars
kind osprey
like how you imported them, getting them modded etc
median basalt
if I do it'd only be occasionally to show stuff because tbh for all the work and everything it wouldn't be worth my time vs me day trading
YouTube pays a good amount but not as much as I'd need to dedicate time to it haha
kind osprey
For me I would just drive all my life but Driving doesn't pay the bills unless you have a fortune to spend starting out, or connections to sponsors
so I wanna focus on this an real estate, create enough passive income to start racing full time
median basalt
Yeah, I'm going to be getting a couple extra real estate properties next year
kind osprey
I could put my own corporation as the sponsor of my cars so it looks like i'm getting sponsors starting out lol
median basalt
Because right now I only have my home and when I move I'm going to keep this rent it out and maybe get a condo building or something to have some passive income besides my long term investment account
median basalt
I do plan on getting a full on track car in the next 5 years
kind osprey
You can be like graham and get a Duplex/Triplex and live in one of the units for free housing lol
heady swift
@kind osprey what kind of racing?
median basalt
I thought of that but I already live in a house so I don't really want to downgrade haha
kind osprey
Then get a warehouse close for the museum of cars
median basalt
plus I can afford to get a bigger house with more room for cars so I'm going to
I really want to have my garage be tall so I can put lifts in there as well
kind osprey
@heady swift I am super interested in open wheel things like Indy and Formula. However my dream that I actually want to accomplish is a high end touring championship
like GT3
preferably Aston Martin
or Porsche
median basalt
Honestly I think when I get a track car I want to get a Huracan Super Trofeo EVO. They are going for around $170k right now and they are nuts
kind osprey
yea that's a nice toy
median basalt
They'd probably be cheaper in about 5 years
heady swift
@kind osprey gt4 has a lot of privateer teams. You can also attend the gt300 from supergt
median basalt
I doubt I'd be able to get my bank to finance a track car though so I'd have to shell out that amount
kind osprey
Good call, i'll look into those
It's pretty far out into the future. I want to at least gather $15,000 a month mostly passive before I get into anything that serious
median basalt
Hmm, I could get a 458 challenge for a bit cheaper
but I think I'd rather go with the newer car
kind osprey
Trading is fairly active so after I get serious with real estate, I might stop trading unless I have the time to
heady swift
you can try the previous challenge car
median basalt
F430?
median basalt
Those aren't too expensive either right?
kind osprey
$100,000 for good condition
median basalt
like what 70-80k?
kind osprey
around there
median basalt
ah that's not bad
heady swift
yeah the f430
median basalt
That'd be a good starter track car
kind osprey
it's still a modern ferrari
they are amazing
I got to be around a few over the years
Those are one of my favorites
heady swift
nvm I believe the challenge f430 is super expensive
median basalt
Oh man an F430 scuderia would be so much fun
heady swift
oh nvm they're not that expensive
kind osprey
Yea the special editions will be more
heady swift
yeah the scuderia 16m is rising in value
great looking car
I found a white challenge car
dutch dealer
kind osprey
dam those are some low miles
median basalt
save about 90k and get a track car
kind osprey
I wonder if you could get that US registered
heady swift
yes
ocean rock
@heady swift btw congrats on early assoc.
heady swift
they're just track versions of their mid engined cars
ocean rock
heady swift
@ocean rock danke
median basalt
Man I'm gonna need to make sure I'll have enough room for cars
heady swift
anyway, if you want a track car you could buy a radical
median basalt
I'll probably have to get an exterior garage built
a radical? I haven't looked into them much
median basalt
Those are interesting
heady swift
not nearly as fancy as a ferrari, but they're great for track days
median basalt
Some of those are so cheap too
kind osprey
Radicals are amazing
median basalt
Idk, I feel like I'd like the ferrari more but I'll have to look into the radicals then
Never really looked at them
kind osprey
If you want a little street legal go kart get an Ariel Atom
median basalt
what's the previous model?
heady swift
Yeah they're bringing a new LMP1 car
heady swift
wat about glickenhaus?
median basalt
I'm going to get the rockets package on my tesla roadster if that's actually gonna happen and take it on the track
Just wondering, is there anything else I should add tp my spreadsheet that I might be missing for my R32 build? This is my first time customizing a car like this so I'm not sure
dire shard
are you asking for more parts?
median basalt
Just if there's more stuff I should get I'm not thinking of
because I do want to have it make more power, hence the turbo kit but I'm not sure if that will need me to upgrade more things or not
heady swift
depends
dire shard
you know what you need
heady swift
if it's a minor increase probably not that much
heady swift
hm
median basalt
My supra I'll go crazy with and get it to like 750 I think
median basalt
Hmm, guess it would depend on the vehicle category
misty cipher
Sports car
heady swift
I ironically enough read this http://www.gtroc.org/2011/11/13/r32-gt-r-modifying-guide/ a few days ago
but honestly, you should ask a specialist/tuner
median basalt
I'd go with a mustang over a camaro, but I do like the corvette a lot
dire shard
i very much like corvettes, but i also sort of like mustangs and i definitely do not like modern camaros now
wow we're the same person
median basalt
not a fan of the camaro
The C8 Z06 is probably going to be next on my list once that comes out, a 9k rev NA V8 sounds like a lot of fun
dire shard
does anybody like camaros now, the design has really gone downhill
misty cipher
For both the stand and the canary (and the chargers) have gotten bulky
median basalt
I'll see if I can talk to a specialist for my R32 and supra for modifying them because I want to make sure everything is done correctly
median basalt
Looking at this website looks like I'll have to get more stuff than this, especially for cooling
misty cipher
I don’t assuming anyone on are truck people
median basalt
just realized I didn't put an exhaust on there either. Not sure if I should or my neighbors would actually hate me
heady swift
You should probably talk to a certified tuner before actually buying the parts. A lot of (super) high performance parts degrade the car's daily driving quality
like back-breaking race suspension (evo 4 cough) or squeaky breaks
misty cipher
Speaking of mufflers
median basalt
Yeah, I didn't even think of suspension either
this is just getting more and more when I think about it haha
misty cipher
misty cipher
😂😂😂
median basalt
what's up with that muffler lol
misty cipher
It’s a Ford
heady swift
I mean if they're probably warmed up they won't be squeaky
but that can take some squeaks
median basalt
Wow though this car might actually go past my budget I wanted to try and keep
misty cipher
An you say carbon monoxide poisoning?
median basalt
The more parts I'm thinking I'll need to get
misty cipher
Can*
misty cipher
That’s not the cat
dire shard
he committed red wrx 
misty cipher
The cats are fine
heady swift
then why worry about CO
misty cipher
Because it’s leaking into the cab
misty cipher
Emissions are going into the cab
heady swift
catalysts convert most CO into CO2
median basalt
I'm happy that michigan doesn't have any emissions haha
heady swift
well, that's what you get from buying a ford 
misty cipher
Don’t worry my truck is fiiinnne
median basalt
I really hope the Z06 C8 doesn't look dumb
misty cipher
It’s a jimmy
heady swift
you should really clean that rust and give it a good coat of paint
heady swift
I don't mean some tokyo drift paintjob lmao
just some paint so it keeps the water away to prevent further rust
unless you want to grease it up
misty cipher
I don’t care about making it pretty they do as they are supposed to and yes i grease
median basalt
I've actually never owned a ford before
median basalt
The roadster will be the first american car I've ever bought I just realized
heady swift
damn where did that KN sucker come from
misty cipher
And that’s just a powerwheels on drugs @median basalt
Don’t know, was there when I got it
median basalt
yeah the tesla roadster is going to be insane
I'm going to make sure I max spec it out
I wonder which will come first though, the Z06 C8 or the roadster haha
heady swift
I'm not a fan of American cars at all
misty cipher
I think it’s cool and all but not hearing ROOOUUUMM when I press the pedal doesn’t feel right
heady swift
but even I would consider an RS200, should I have the funds
median basalt
Honestly the corvette and the raptor are the only ones I really like
misty cipher
I’m all for America vehicles
median basalt
Yeah hearing no engine sound while I'm going mach 2 is going to be so strange
misty cipher
Toyota is my first foreign choice though
median basalt
I can't even imagine the 1.9 seconds 0-60
median basalt
Honestly I'm still on the fence about getting a model 3 as well for the auto pilot on the highway
Could use it as a daily but use my Impreza for longer trips
median basalt
regular
heady swift
oh so your spine's still intact
heady swift
shame they've also discontinued the impreza
misty cipher
Bro screw the Impreza I miss the VW beetle
heady swift
those awful little things?
median basalt
I'll see if I still have a picture on my phone that's backed up
heady swift
they're loud, small, uncomfortable and are slow
my neighbour had one and drove around with me in it
looks fun but is anything but that to drive
misty cipher
they're loud, small, uncomfortable and are slow
@heady swift herbi is quaking right now
heady swift
polo or golf?
median basalt
golf
median basalt
not a golf r though
median basalt
found a picture of the impreza backed up in my google photos haha
it's pretty nice
heady swift
ah the wagon
median basalt
Never really went for expensive vehicles until this R32
heady swift
I'd ask for the fuel efficiency but that's a non-issue where you live 
median basalt
Yeah, it's great haha
I like how the R32 is actually going to be worth more than all my cars combined haha
heady swift
as it should be
median basalt
I've always stayed with non expensive cars. Ones that are below 30k but I just really want something that will be fun
Same with the supra, I just all of a sudden got the itch to get a JDM car lol
reef vine
My first time using chrome decals too
median basalt
That's forza correct?
reef vine
Need for Speed: Heat
median basalt
ah, that's cool
reef vine
Sorry babe, the fuck fist stays on.
dire shard
median basalt
I kinda want to get it to customize an R32 and a Supra like how I want mine to look but I'd have to play through the game more haha
reef vine
I miss Toyota and Lexus
But they had to say 'but muh illegal street racing'
Even though the Supra is extremely popular because of illegal street racing
Sorry, just had to vent about Toyota leaving need for speed
median basalt
wait does forza not have a supra in it?
dire shard
it does now
median basalt
ok good
dire shard
mk3 and 4
median basalt
is the customization on it and the R32 alright?
reef vine
I think it's only in forza and gran turismo
dire shard
i don't know, i basically keep them stock-looking
median basalt
You can still use carbon fiber as a paint material in forza right? Because I want to make my R32 have a full carbon fiber body like mine will
dire shard
yes, you can
median basalt
awesome
reef vine
The reason I want Toyota back in need for speed is because the customization in need for speed is really good
There's no fun in driving a stock looking Supra
median basalt
I think I've seen the customization on that game before
reef vine
I wanna make it my own, know what I'm saying
It's pretty good
Even lets you customize the exhaust note of your cars
median basalt
I plan on getting a nice kit for my supra with a carbon trim along the bottom but I can't decide if I want to have it resprayed dark gray metallic or white metallic
reef vine
Dark grey would look pretty mean
median basalt
Yeah that's what I was thinking
I'm getting the supra in the spring though so I have some time to decide
reef vine
If ever I got a Supra, I'd put the C-West bodykit on it and paint it metallic orange
median basalt
that looks good
reef vine
As homage to the fast and the furious Supra
Like this, but with a smaller wing
Maybe a different hood
median basalt
that looks great
median basalt
I think I'd go with black wheels on my supra
reef vine
Can't go wrong with black wheels
They look great on everything
What kinda wheels do you think of going for?
median basalt
not entirely sure yet
This is the kit I want for the supra though https://www.suprastore.com/shauprjzmksu.html
reef vine
I think two piece wheels look good on supras
median basalt
The supra will be much cheaper than my R32 though because I'm not getting a kit that costs as much as the car haha
So I've got more room for fun with it
reef vine
I wish I lived in a place where Supras and R32's were obtainable cars lol
median basalt
Where do you live?
reef vine
But I'm in the US, where crushing imports is more important than actual crime fighting
median basalt
I'm in the US as well, I'm importing my Supra and R32
reef vine
Damn, that's pretty expensive
woeful viper
sUwUpra
median basalt
Yeah, the supra will be a cheaper build than my R32 though
gonna make it much faster though haha
reef vine
If I had to pick any skyline, I think I'd like to get an R33, much cheaper than other skylines and I can make it look like big bird from fast and furious
One of my favorite cars of the series
median basalt
I almost did decide on that but I like the look of the R32 more
median basalt
Plus the R32 has a full carbon fiber body kit that I like haha
reef vine
Less demand
heady swift
@median basalt btw a tip, use paper air filters. Foam filters degrade faster and fall apart and thereby damage critical parts.
oil catchers are also a must for upgraded cars
median basalt
I'll keep that in mind, thanks
heady swift
you can buy gts-t
median basalt
Are S14s legal in the US?
heady swift
same engine, almost same body
reef vine
Probably not
