Smile What should I do next?

I just did a lot of stuff to my car b/c I got my tax refund back and I'm wondering what else you guuys think I should do.

I did full exhaust system including headers, air intake system, spark plugs and wires, engine steam clean, flush and replace all fluids (oil, radiator, etc.), and put a short throw shifter.

Now I'm wondering what else I should do since I don't necessarily want to go turbo. If you have ideas post em up and let me know

I've been driving. I started all this a week ago and since then I have spent over $200 for gas. I've been driving after everything I do and it's been fun.

I'm looking for more mods or bolt-ons though. Anyone know of anything?

just drive and get accompanied with one mod at a time...youll learn a lot more this way and appreciate the upgrade way more than if you just slapped everything on at once. plus each dollar that you spend on your next mod will be worth more...just my .02

Over $200 for gas in one week?! WTF that's about 2000 miles for my car and it has shitty fuel economy.

I already have coilover suspension with 17" enkei wheels and Yokohama low profile tires. I have a pretty good grip. I have decided I am going to put lower tie bars though. All good ideas though...any more?

i think you should find an armadillo and mate with it. that way your reproductive organs will contract leprasy first and surely fall off preventing any further pollution of this planet from your family tree.

Unhappy

Makoto I come to this board for advice, suggestions, and technical expertise on things that I may not know about because it is one of the best on the web and I know that I don't know everything and can always use suggestions. I understand that open forums have to allow pretty much anyone to promote the free flow of information and opinions in order offer the best environment possible. This is why I find my information here and why Zilvia is one of the best boards out there.

With that being said...

WHAT THE F&%K IS YOUR PROBLEM?
I understand that everyone has a unique personality and that you probably have no life, friends, hobbies or interests other than being an @$$, and you've proved that yourself posting here over 2,000 times.

I truly feel sympathy for you going home to your computer and sitting all day long waiting to 'flame' someone. There is a REAL world outside your front door, with REAL people, and REAL experiences. I urge you to turn off your computer and step outside some time and find your own armadillo. Good luck with the rest of your life and I hope you find something that interests and intrigues you that doesn't involve sitting by yourself, alone in the dark.

kid, if you knew half of the subject that you're struggling to comprehend it'd prolly give you an aneurism. is it so hard to believe that i enjoy constructive deconstruction despite my talent, good looks, financial stability, and a few people that give a crap about me?

i really dont see why people have to be succesful, goodlooking, and stupid or smart, witty, and a complete loser. can't i be the the best of both worlds? WHY OH WHY GOD?!

with that being said...

i once killed an armadillo with a double bladed axe. true story. honest injun.
