whoa, forgot about the 13:1 compression, that IS really high.

I met steve once when I was with Jeff. I've been friends with Jeff for quite a long time. Jeff and I were coming out of Electronic Boutique just as I bought my PS2 and GT3 when Steve was walking in, strange coincidence cuz it was about 10 at night.

About the huge gate homes, are you talking about the gate that's wooden and open/closes towards you? If it is, my friend lives and there oh my gosh, his house is incredible, much better and different than mine. We had a highschool graduation party there and it was wild, girls getting naked topped it off. His dad is a consultant and makes bank. My friend just left to Indiana University a couple weeks ago.

Also, where do you work?

 

Jeff is a freaking Genius dude...of course you already know that. About the homes, I'm thinking about the Northwood area. there's a part of northwood that's a bigger complex thats's entirely gated on the Irvine Blvd and Culver Dr. side. I think gates are being built on the Portola Pkwy side. The south part of that area has brand new million dollar homes, the north side has lower priced homes and condos. But I looked at a map and I've been to Northwood a few times, I think my dentist lives there. Those houses are huge $$$ man! My dentist's house went up $300,000 in a period of 2 years!

I work at UCI as a software engineer.

ps: I wish I went to your high school hehehe

 

Yes, Jeff is a genius, 4.0 all throughout college through junior year is pretty damn impressive. He says it's easy. : /

Yea, these houses in New Northwood area are going up in price value REALLY fast. These new condos popping up are pretty nice too. I met someone on the road who was driving a brand new C32 AMG with paper plates. He drove into that condo area. Certainly a lot of milfs around the area too, hahaha.

I also plan major in software engineering at UCR. Hopefully I can do as well as you guys (yourself, Steve, and Jeff) where I'll be able to afford at least an S2000 (my next car, I swear!).

ps. I think my school was alright, I had some pretty bad teachers but still managed to get good grades, they hated me for that. But I also had some REALLY good teachers whom I enjoyed very much. I do have to admit that my school has an ample amount of good looking girls, who are intelligent too! But I don't know if any of these are reasons why you'd want to go to my school, heh.

 

Eagle Talon turbo(tsi)....5G upgrades=low 12secs.

 

I keep on telling my friend, he doesn't believe me. He has a TSI Turbo AWD.

Thanks Guys for the Info,

In my mind I have an image of an all around fast car! I'm thinking 11-12 sec on the drag strip, Great handling for AutoX, and while I'm doing that watching the Matrix on the 7". Now that means a show car, a competition car all rolled into one. I know that I'm going to have to do it in steps, but its the order and getting it done RIGHT the first time I'm concerned about. Now I'm a novice I admit but I like to make my imagination into reality.

this will be a 1-2 year project totaling about $15,000-20,000 in my mind if it goes 0-60 in sub 5 and looks like a TOTAL RICE CAR! I'll be happy. Can it be done?

I think my first step in finding a good platform to build-up on. I fthat means getting some help locally to find the right chassis and dropping in a ITR b18 and making it a sleeper at first so be it. I just want a cheap car that gives me the same felling the S does witht the top UP!

 

Tim (enzyme) - it sounds like you want a show car w/ good motor in the engine bay. Personally, I would stick to the performance side. However, if you must have the baddest (performance + show), go w/ MKIV Supra. However, that's gonna cost you more than $20... right out the door.

 

I wouldn't go with a ITR

 

Show and competition only go together in a Riceboys dream, the two are completely unrelated especially if you don't want to build a drag only car. You have to decide what you want to do, if it is mostly drag racing and show, then a Mustang would be best, if you want to be orginal though, you have to find something that no-one has thought off...
