They never show up to meets. Don't remember names. They may have sold their cars for all I know. Is that grenaded mazsport 8 still for sale in Houston?

Not sure, that one dropped off the map. I wonder if he sold it. That car had potential for someone dedicated to get it right.

well we all know the fastest 8 is here in SA, but then again its only an 8 because of the shell not a true 8 at heart

wheels, well those are a matter of opinion and as long as someone doesnt go and get 20in chrome we are still good

and for the wing... well my wing was/is just for looks to go with the color scheme, but again someone had to go and bite my whole look, even down to the wheels

now if someone goes and bites my next look..... i think i will be done modding her and just take her back to stock..... but i would like to see that college kid go and buy the exact same wheels...... as far as i know, only 1 other 8 has the wheels im getting, and even then i dont think they are installed anymore

Someone will always be going a little bigger than you are. Don't think of it as a competition against anyone but yourself.

Awesome. Dude, you are very lucky Andrea is so cool. Having a wife that builds you up and not tear you down is the most important thing you can have as a husband. While I am not planning on marrying again anytime really soon I have at least became more open to it happening again. Claudia has helped me a ton and been really supportive so she gets a lot of brownie points for that. My ex wife was dream killer and total nagging buzz kill.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If we wait long enough then someone is bound to to do the same look sooner or later. There are only so many ways to go, so if we beat around the bush we might get jacked of "our" look before we even finish it

True, and everyone has different goals. I love a sexy looking car but prefer functionality overall. And honestly some people just have the gift of style. Peroxide has owned two dead sexy FD's so I have to give any idea he has for a build the benefit of the doubt because of what he has done on every car I have seen of his, even his Silvia.

Many people have that gift and are willing to go big to achieve and have the means to do so. I can't wait to see what Sifu has up his sleeve. I am sure I will be envious.

Austin you are a lucky man as I consider myself to be. A good woman IS hard to find. I am also glad my wife does not mind the "modding" lol.

And at one time we did have another Ti in our group but he left and moved on (thank god)

the front lower lip?

this guy's car was a basket case... he started off with a 4 port auto with a full failside kit, then he got tired of us ragging him for having an auto. So he bought a used 6 spd on the internet out of state and drove it back to SA. After he got it back home IIRC his transmission was acting up so he took it to the dealer. The dealer tells him "sir there is no factory warranty on a salvage title vehicle"

Indeed.

Josh had a ti too but he was never part of SARX, he was perma banned from the start. So basically all of the Ti's around here have been ricers. Although VS8 did autocross his car so does get a little credit.
