  1. I had a friend that had one, he sold it to another one of my friends, there was never a month when either of them had it that something didn't break, (imput shaft actually twisted and cracked on his once) so reliability is probably not that great. It comes with 312 lb ft of torque and like 220 hp I think, so it wasn't too bad for stock performance, I think mid 15's or so. And I am pretty sure mods are not too hard to come buy for them.
  2. As pointless at it is, You have to at least admire the fact that the guy could do that and make it look that clean. I wonder what happens if you actually get on it?
  3. True as far as I know the jetta is the only TDI car you can still get here, and they are pretty slow, but there are some new diesels coming from some european companies that are more advanced IE the E320 CDI 201 hp 369 lb ft of torque at 1800 rpm, and it runs low 15's, not bad for a 4000lb car with only 200 hp. I still don't think I would really want a diesel though...
  4. www.car-part.com Junkyard database kinda thing, you will find your part there, you can search by area or state..
  5. Awesome I thought it wasn't coming out until the end of March.
  6. Yeah I always thought that was the point of a deposit? If they give you the money to hold, then get it back when they pull out what is the point of the deposit?
  7. If you don't mind working call center jobs I know RHI still has some openings for level 1 and 2 positions, I used to work for them and they have called me a couple of times asking if I can refer anyone that would be interested, PM me if you want some contact info for them.

    The Gipper

    +1 he was a pretty smart guy.
  9. I'd have to agree with everyone else on here, you can't use that as a daily, pretty much just an image car, IMO you should just go buy a C5 corvette that is more reliable, a lot faster and probably about the same price and you will still get noticed.
  10. You might want to stick with whoever you use for Auto insurance, I know most insurance companies offer a discount if you have auto and home together. That's the way I am going when our house is done.
  11. The speeding ticket, since it is more than 3 years ago won't count because Nationwide only looks back 3 years, so with just a brake violation and ACDA I think the insurance should be pretty reasonable.
  12. Yeah I just read that, hillarious. Flaming poop!
  13. Yeah it was for tuning, I emailed him about it because my mom has a 99, I guess he needs a 98 though.
  14. One speeding ticket and one accident is not enough to make anyones insurance jump that high, otherwise, break violation being non moving won't even count on most insurance, so with only 2 points on her record I am betting she has less than a lot of people here so something is screwed up somewhere, Not her fault. And wings also increase insurance prices? I hope you were kidding there not just stupid.

    New law?

    That is some BS that he got pulled over for going 6 over... they must have really wanted that guy for some reason.
  16. haha that is funny, not just that it was his moms car but he was running 16's with that much spray...
  17. The owner of the place I got my engine from had a three rotor RX7, over 500 WHP on twins, I am sure they could tell you what is involved in the swap and I know you can get a 20B from them. http://www.rotaryengine.com
  18. If your going two tone I would do the Blue with silver ground effects if you want it to catch the eye. Silver doesn't really stand out too much, the camaro looks pretty good in metallic blue IMO.
  19. Just read that one earlier, those are some famous idiot last words.
  20. RHI is a good way to go I worked for them for about a year, I know they have some help desk positions available right now, mostly level 1 I think.
  21. You aren't going to get a house that cheap in that area. You would have to look for a condo around 100,000 to get payments under 750. Otherwise you are probably looking at 1000 or more for a decent house in that area, plus a couple hundred for taxes. My girlfriend and I looked for a while before we decided to build a house. Check out Forrent.com for appartments or herrealtors.com for houses.
  22. My girlfriend and I saw the village last night, we both liked it, wasn't a great movie and definitely wasn't the horror movie the previews made it out to be, but it had an alright story and there were a couple times when everybody jumped. Harold and Kumar looked dumb in the previews, and it really is, but it is damn funny so go see it.
  23. I prefer skinny girls average height like 5'5"-5'9", with a nice body, but the face is still most important, a nice body can't fix an ugly face IMO.
  24. I was on my way to my girlfriends from work today and coming up 315N Right by the light at Hard rd was a new Koenigsegg, traffic was kind of heavy so I got a pretty good and I was in the left turn lane next to him so I got a nice long look at it from the back and the front, it was beautiful, just wondering if anyone else has seen this around? Supposed to be faster than a F1. For anyone who hasn't heard of them: http://www.koenigsegg.se/
  25. I pulled 289.6 hp on my stock motor, car weighs about 2750, I'll have to double check my tq figures. If we get another dyno this year I can get some numbers for the ported motor.
