When I was six, a man broke into my home and killed my whole family (except for me, obviously). As he left, he looked me right in the eyes and made a rambling speech about Communists, the devil, global warming, and the price of Sri Racha hot sauce. At the end, he shrugged and smiled and said "but I digress" as he left the house.

Does that explain it?

that sucks dood.

i hate to digress but i love sri racha!

oh crap i spelt dude* wrong LOL

why is that a fail? i'm not lucky enough to have a garage yet. if i need more tools, then i have no problem picking up more.


I wouldn't care if you had a garage and all the tools in the world. You are still an idiot if you get this car. First off, you don't even know how to drive a manual transmission car but you think a 8-9 second DSM is good to learn on. Honestly you are just asking for trouble and you are posting the dumbest things on here already

"i found out i should get a snell helmet and not a dot one. their more for racing. i'm looking into shoes and gloves next."

First learn how to freaking drive the car and look over the maintenance hahaha.

This is honestly the biggest april fools day joke ever if not I feel bad for you. When you completely ruin the transmission I look forward to buying the car from you and seeing you take a big loss in $.
 
Someone needs to be kicked in the ballsack for all of this.

I have the ability to retract my genitalia up into my body cavity. While you are kicking my perineum, causing me no harm (and quite possibly a great deal of pleasure), I will be completing the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique on you.

Fair warning given, I'd say.
 
As I am in the same town as Tim, I can verify all of this.

God damn his new JDM rotary is sick shit!

Just got back from the storage facility to check it out.
 
I for one see no problem with the OP purchasing Tim's car. He has shown a willingness to research and learn about these cars which is more then I can say for most of the new members these days. He will learn how to drive a 5 speed (we all had to at some point). I think with time he will learn to love these cars an appreciate them just like we all do and he will have a nice head start on upgrading! Sure it will be a learning experience, but so is everything else in life. Who are you guys to flame him. I think you should all consider yourselves lucky that the mods have been too busy trying to straighten out the hack on the site to issue warnings to all of you for flaming him and joking around instead of helping him.
 
I don't even know.

Wait, there's a girl in my avatar?


All I see is a dark box and when I try to change the avatar my whole browser crashes.

Edit: Tim, put a damn cornerlight in this POS before you get rid of it.

Lol, I don't know if I even own any sets anymore.
 
Please say April fools on the digress family story cause that is really sad to hear an makes me feel like an ass if not false.

My family is fine. They're insane, annoying, and mostly to blame for who I am today, but they are alive and roughly healthy.
 
This is most definitely a joke. My car is not sold, nor would I ever sell it to a person like the OP.

Do people seriously think I would be that much of an asshole? LOL, anyone who really knows me that if I ever sold my car, it would go to someone who would be an experienced mechanic and safe racer.

Sorry guys, but I have been planning this one quietly for a long time; we improvised with the use of "4cylinder01" as it is not a real person.



APRIL FOOLS GUYS!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Didn't think that would actually happen LOL. Only positive would have been I might have been able to get the ram air headlight for like $20 off the "op" LOL. Glad your keeping it though great build should never go to waste like that.
 
My heart skipped when I read April fools. Damn, well played sir.
Now I'm going to read Shep's thread to see if is trying to pull a fast one as well.

If I kept it, I was going to pull the motor, throw in steel rods, and downgrade the turbo back to a GT4088R and cut the cage out.

So is this the plan?
