i got tired of owning my last car, i got harrassed too much in it, i couldnt leave my street without being pulled over, at my last EPA test my exhause came in at 118db, i had free flowing 3 inch exhaust on a fuel hungry V8, i was pulling 345Hp at the rear wheels and ran a best of 11.4 quarter mile,.
Once you start modding you have to put up with eg.
- 3 gear boxes $1100-$2400 a pop, (last time i had it completed cutom built, thanks als race glides)
- diff re-build - $750.00
-snapped axels - replaced with billet axels - $380.00 each
- cracked head- $1200.00
- snapped tail shaft twice, $800.00

and this is from what i can remember

Sure, i get tired of owning a fast car but only because it's not fast enough! hahaha...
It's always a quest for more power, more more more! Unfortunately, my GT-B wagon isn't such an interesting car to drive for me (compared to my previous cars) so i really only see it as a fast straight line car and in a straight line these days 14 second 1/4 mile times just isn't fast enough. My goal will be to get my car down to a low 13 second (my wife has to drive the car and it's meant to be our family car so that should be fast enough). In my mind that's about the beginning of speed street cred and beyond that things would get too expensive i think. Besides i've driven FAST cars, they aren't fun, they aren't practical and they do attract the wrong sort of attention.

XXB4XX what did you used to drive? Sounds like fun.

are you guys still spending every minute looking on the net for more? or is anyone actually content. and i know some of you have tration control, but has anyone got all fours spinning? iv seen some rexys that do, wanted to know if libs can do it to, e.g. 1st to 2nd gear shift. sorry about the questions, just intersted in what its like

i had been bitten by the bug, thats what my last car was all about...

i had a hevily workd laser 4wd turbo, the car was a 13sec flat (posibbly less) car in street form, and it was great at traffic light GP, 1st gear was so short i could pull across an intersection before basicly any other car around... it had a full suspention / caster/camber setup etc...

but at the end of the day, it had a 3" and droned like hell, it was as rough as guts on the road cause of the race suspention and it threw u in the seat the moment it hit 3k and would keep u there till redline... 3 engines , 3 gearboxes, 3 clutchs and countless other items later i got fed up with the breaking etc from constant racing around

the car wasnt practical at all.... the B4 however has slightly less power in standard form (much more potential) and has the suspension already there, yet rides very smoothly and the exhaust is dead quite..... i love it...... granted the bug is still here, i love to use the B4's power (i tend to only use the first turbo day to day) and i will do the CAI and EcuTech to try to pull some more out of it, but thats where ill draw the line, that and the brakes ! (omg they are shocking !! the laser stoped on a dime, but a good set of 4 pots should fix this )

but yea the bug is still here, its changed and settled, but i dont think it will ever leave i hope not !
