Just a stock POS...

Yes you read it correctly, I reverted back to its stock form as a 4A-F with a stock carb and stock exhaust...

what happened man? did your motor blow? or you just going to drop the turbo kit on another car? or are you just going to sell it?

Problem after problem. Engine is fine, minus headgasket, which I'm gonna replace tomorrow... I just figured that its a waste of money to dish out euro after euro into the car. Let alone a ST or BT or GZE swap. I cant justify that kind of money to it anymore.

I need the car to be reliable enough to get me to work and home 5 days a week, which I cant now, because one day it might say "No I'm not going to start this morning" and then I'm fucked so to say. Kinda hard to say to your boss "sorry, my car broke down, like it did last week". So taking it back to stock is the only viable solution (and the cheapest).

I'll be selling the car anyways within a year, I wont expect much money from it, but at some point its time to call it quits and its now. My next car will be such that I wont have to start to modify it for it to be fast. Call it growing up.

yeah i feel you flashmn im looking into a GS400 atm... i have my vette, and that can be my sports car, but for a commuter, i think im going to go on the lexus route... change all the badges to Toyota Chaser and coil springs with some 18's on it...

I'm thinking of a pickup truck next, I live in the sticks now and it will help me haul stuff, such as lumber, when I start to build a house... plus I can haul motorcycles in the back too.

If I want to go fast I got a motorcycle to do that... cars are beginning to be just transport for me, I find that they dont give me enough "kicks" anymore.

i totally agree with you there... nothing better than a bike for speed...

If you have a pickup with two motorcycles in the back, you can probably get at least one of the three machines to function and get to you work!

...... that's why you add "... and if you paid me more I could afford a car that will get me to work and back everyday.... so this is your fault"

Ok corollas gotta go...

Probably to be replaced with this.

sincity.rolla · 11-10-2011, 03:55 PM

Damn now that's an upgrade!! Alfa Romeo right?? I like it. Wish we had cars like that here in the states

Flashmn · 11-10-2011, 04:05 PM

Yeah, Alfa Romeo Mito Quadrifoglio Verde, 1.4 liter turbo with 170hp and 185FT-LB torque...

I havent bought it yet, I took it for a test ride from the shop till next week, when I have to decide if I buy it or not... I'm really digging it, its brand new with 75km on the clock..

So sweet, its got a sports suspension, voice controlled peripherals, such as media player, Bluetooth phone interface, automatic ac, seat heaters, Brembo brakes, carbon fiber look-alike interior. I'm totally in love with it... only thing is, its not cheap..
