Building up the engine

AlexRaymond19 · 07-15-2013, 06:33 PM

Im at the point where i need to sell the car and buy something else, or keep it forever and build it up. Seriously eyeing 2009 GTR's, but my car is not worth **** anymore. I easily put 40 into it all together, and can sell it for maybe 25 if im lucky. Plus i owe like 10 still... Im in a rough spot. Its my DD, so the miles keep racking up. The paint is a mess, and just a ton of other little **** that bugs me about it. Im going through mid life crisis right now, and im 25... Nothing seems like enough. I seriously need to look at getting a DD so at least i can stop wearing this one out. I love the car, but i just want more power, more speed. If i throw a TT kit on it, thats great and all, but then i would need suspension mods, new brake setup, no to mention my paint job is totally used up. Thats about 4k right there to get it done right. Maybe around 2-3 if i get it wrapped. so add it all up and i have a car that i love, that is slower than a 2009 gtr, and quite a bit more expensive (at the used price) GRRRRRRRRRRR

Okay im done venting. Just in a **** mood today. I really do love my car

Wait, you put 40 INTO your car? Or you've got $40 in it?

Sounds like the car will never satisfy you. If your a speed junky like me, nothing with satisfy your speed adrenaline rush like a 1000cc Sports bike. No matter how fast you think your car will go it would take alot for it to keep up with a 1000cc bike. (has it been done before, yes) But a stock 1Kcc bike will give you that feeling you want right out of the box.

The thing with the bike vs a car. You feel every bit of fast and the "oh ****" meter goes up a lot higher than the safety confines of being inside a car lmao
